[John Davidson] ” Until then, we’re using roles/strip silence in Protools.”
Can you explain? are you saying you are not using X2pro at all?

[Sandeep Sajeev] “I have to say that personally, after not having to patch tracks in FCPX I find it a drag to have to patch in FCP7 or Smoke on Mac. And I never found it a problem before, it was just part of the editing process.
“This was my original point!

[Michael Gissing] “then they need to talk to me and other post facilities to make sure our current cooperative workflow can continue. “
Nice idea, might be a stretch getting the BBC folks down to Tasmania.

[Bernard Newnham] “I wonder what commercial advantages FCPX will bring to a facilities house, and what disadvantages….?
“Hey Bernard, folks get a bit carried away on this site. Both our initial threads have been hijacked by an army of vested interests pontificating in their own gravy. I cut a weekly magazine program, I have done for the last 7 years. The series producer has said, “where ever you go, we go” I cut a bunch of other TV with producers that are saying the same thing. They couldn’t care less what program I use FCP, AVID, Premier. They like working with me and I like FCPX simple as that. I think commercial advantages are minimal apart from “no tape”, so no tape hardware. I also think apple gear looks cool, makes the suits look cool, and lets be honest clients like hanging out in cool Boutique facilities while making cool contemporary TV. There you have it.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “can we not just say it is dying on the vine now?
Isn’t this a deliciously near dead editing system? The motion of editing?
haven’t we actually killed it?
can’t we pop balloons?”
Hang onto your balloons Aindreas, it is so not near dead. Watch this space.

[Chris Harlan] “I’d swear that the Sirius Cybernetics Corp. is testing out a new Genuine Person Personality on the forum, here. This kind of smugness seems generated to pass the Turing Test. I’m guessing that this is one of Eddie,the shipboard computer’s alternate personalities. Personally, I prefer Marvin’s.
“I don’t even know what that means but it made me laugh out loud.

[David Lawrence] ” it seemed to him that FCPX was designed for shorts and one-man-band type operations, or small shops that keep everything in house.”
That’s simply not true, I’ve been involved with testing on the show I cut at the BBC and I’m very excited with FCPX and future of the software, particularly for a multi item program with multiple editors. And its a factual program, 8 mini Documentaries every week. I don’t understand what your film festival mate is banging on about.
I started this thread a couple of days ago because I have 2 weeks of downtime (holidaying in the south of France, thanks for asking) I have to say, there are many loud voices that seem to spent more time blogging than actual editing. Cheers -
[Aindreas Gallagher] “hey craig, are you still going ahead with that london based post facility based around FCPX you mentioned a while back?”
Yes, scouting for a location at the moment. Opening around Christmas or March. Would really like to know what apple are going to do with the Mac Pro.

[Bob Woodhead] “You were right the first time Craig…. your fingers were talking for you.”
you got me. Nice one

[craig slattery] “I just think there is no ligament reason to stick with track based editing.”
That should read “Legitimate”
