    [Michael Phillips] “I have always thought that their interest in editing tool set started waning with the introduction of iTunes music, film, and television show sales/rentals.”Probably when they started making billions on the iPhone. I have invested a lot of time in learning to edit in X, so I hope they keep supporting it. On the other hand, I can’t imagine them requiring production teams to use it.

    While I long ago went with FCPX, I am trying to help a friend with a FCP7 legacy project. I still have FCP7 version 7.03 on my main hard drive. I am running Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 on a mid 11 27″ mac. I dug out an old 7 project and after relinking, it seems to be up and running. I can play the sequences, view the browser, etc. Is there clarity on what will and won’t work in this configuration?

    Thanks

    Their short tutorials make it look great and based on the reviews above it looks like a significant improvement on Color Finale. I think I am in.

    Glad I bought Lightroom 6 as a stand alone copy, when I did. Hopefully it will last for some more years.

  • That made working on a film crew look like fun. Great stuff.

    There is a lot to think about in his video. The comparison of film grain vs digital was quite enlightening. I have often puzzled over the fact that many of the highest end movies are still shot on film, usually Kodak, even though there is a big cost difference. Obviously it is very tricky to make digital shots reproduce the film look. I am guessing The Last Jedi, where he is DP was shot on film.
    I have been thinking about going to a 4k camera, but it is clearly not so simple. Unlike going SD to 1080 p turned out to be a no brainer.

    I think I am waiting a few months before messing with High Sierra based on Larry’s comments. The upside of switching early seems small and it is hard to judge the downside.

    If you are shooting at 24 fps, be sure to use 1/48 or 1/50 shutter speed to give the appropriate motion blur. I see a lot of sports shot on DSLRs where this is ignored and it gives a very choppy look. I film lacrosse and prefer to use 60 fps and then for clips that I slowdown, typically to 50 % the slow motion looks great.

    Very interesting proposal. I like the idea of having a master to make overall volume changes. My workflow in audio mixing and sweetening in FCPX could use some help, not that I have a complete mastery of the present roles and lanes.

  • I thought it was a fun movie and I did see it in a great theater with great sound and projection. This stuff is so far above the average production, be it Youtube, TV etc. Although as I remember, the credits didn’t need to roll into the thousands of names typical of today’s blockbusters.
