[Jeremy Garchow] “Do you have a Kona or video out device?”
What approach are you thinking, Jeremy? I’m curious about this too, not necessarily just for FCPX, but in general.

[Chris Harlan] “For my MacBook Pro, though, the drives generally need to be pretty portable so they are usually G-RAIDS or Glyphs. Also, pass through is important to me.”
I hear you. Pass through is important to me too and it’s annoying the Echo doesn’t have it.

[Chris Harlan] “Well, La-de-da. “Some” might also want to have Thunderbolt pass-through so that they can be using video i/o (other other items that require the end of the chain), which the Sonnet Echo does not have.”
Actually, port multipliers are really nice. I use this one with a Sonnet esata expresscard adaptor in my Macbook Pro:

It’s a drag it won’t work with the LaCie.

[Michael Gissing] “Ironically I also expect to buy FCPX in the next year as support for editors who will start using it. It will be more like having a plugin or ancillary software on the system to handle the odd client who will bring in a FCPX job and need me to manage the project and output to Smoke/ da Vinci.”
I think the plug-in analogy is exactly right. FCPX is cheap and a good thing to keep in the tool box for the things it does well. But as a replacement for a 10-year old day to day editorial workflow based on FCP legacy, Premiere Pro CS6 looks like it makes much more sense.

Nice post, Glen. Welcome back.
Jim, I think the Cliffs notes summary would be:
From the the editor’s POV, (and I would extend this to *all* pro editors, not just Hollywood pros), any potential upside to trusting Apple right now is far outweighed by the risk. On the other hand, distrusting Apple has only upside, at least until Apple *demonstrates* they can be trusted.
Sounds right to me.

The name’s fine. no need to change it.
If new people are getting confused, then just change the sub-menu header at the top of the page to make it clear this is the *debate* forum. Like this:
No confusion, problem solved.

[John Brawley] “HI. The camera I shot this with is a hand built prototype. They haven’t finished working on the sensor calibration yet, that takes care os noise, and dead pixels. This is very early days for this camera.”
Hi John, thanks for the post, makes complete sense. Excited about this camera and looking forward to seeing what it can do.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Is this the only footage? https://vimeopro.com/johnbrawleytests/blackmagic-cinema-camera
Erm…”
According to the post on John Brawley’s site:
“So that’s all I’m allowed to show for now. There will be some more polished material soon I promise.”
But yeah, want to see some better quality samples. The sensor in his test camera definitely belongs in the reject bin. Did you look at Beach Dusk around 4:38? I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many dead pixels.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Is that an “integrated” (meaning not swappable) 90 minute battery?”
Hmmm, kinda looks that way. No mention of a battery compartment anywhere on the site. Non-swappable battery would be a letdown. Maybe they’ll sell an external battery kit?
