[Simon Ubsdell] “Everyone, it seems, is using an alternative method to avoid having to be stuck with the defaults.
Which suggests that I’m cranky but not wrong.
;-)”
touché! 😉

I think you’re being cranky. ????
Frankly, I don’t care what keyboard buttons are mapped to zoom in/out because the first thing I do with any program where zoom is relevant is map to the side buttons on my mouse. I use a Logitech Anywhere MX which has two side buttons that ride just about the thumb. I use front for zoom-in, back for zoom out. Works for NLE’s, DAWs, and even Finder and browser windows (as forward and back commands). Feels totally natural and is super intuitive and easy to use. Problem solved! 🙂

[Oliver Peters] “I think the fact that NOTHING can be changed about a file, otherwise it CANNOT be relinked is a huge impediment to many workflows. That was a big plus for “legacy”. It would baulk and then let you do it.”
Yikes! Didn’t know about this. That could definitely be a deal killer for many workflows.

Vertical video? Horizontal video? Bah! So yesterday.
CIRCULAR video is the new black! ????

[Oliver Peters] ” I don’t think it’s a question of advantages or disadvantages. Simply a matter of the preferred style of working.”
I agree with Oliver.
As much as I like the new lanes organization features (and believe me, I think they’re great!) the Magnetic Timeline v2 still doesn’t help with the kind of spatial workflows we discussed five years ago:

Right now I’m working on a five-channel video installation. It would be a major PITA to build it in FCPX. I’d be fighting the magnetic timeline with every edit.
Different tools for different jobs. Tracks still have their place in many workflows.

[Darren Roark] “Maybe someone will be allowed to make their own adapter?”
There are some third parties already working on it, for example:
https://9to5mac.com/2016/01/04/magsafe-adpater-12-inch-macbook/
But it’s not as good as built-in magsafe and I’d be leery of using it with a data connection.

[Oliver Peters] “I think it’s worth noting that you actually lost peripheral functionality with the new MBP. There are 4 ports, but one of these gets lost to power. “
But Phil says if you buy the new LG 5K monitor, you can get power, display and three USB C ports all in one cable. So isn’t Apple actually giving you more ports now? lol! ?
Seriously though, I can’t tell you how many times MagSafe has kept me from disaster. Losing it is a big step backward.

[Ricardo Marty] “Arent lanes tracks?”
Like tracks but better. You get the visual organization of tracks but with the flexibility of metadata for clip assignment. I’m really excited by what I see here! 😀

[Steve Connor] “Wasn’t the idea of “Lanes” created on here?”
Could be. I know we talked a lot about the need for better organizing tools including lanes and color coding. Great to see Apple’s been paying attention.
