Same here and keyframing for color correction.
Also, asked for tracks to be brought back! 😉
When life gives me lemons, there are two ways I look at it: As lemonade or a gas guzzling clunker that could fall apart on me at any moment. I prefer lemonade.

In all honesty and after a great deal of thinking (head hurts like crazy), the name should remain as is.
I did think of “The Great NLE Debate” as a possible name change. Whether it is more relevant I do not know. Also, as time goes on, should the Adobe debate continue or be brought to an end? After all, that forum seems to have slowed down very much, at least from what I can see. Just my thoughts here.

[Andrew Kimery] “hile you guys are pointlessly yammering I’m get real work done. I’m transferring 4k to 1″ tape because I’m pretty certain this whole Internet, DCP, tapeless media fad is going to crash and burn pretty soon.”
Priceless. Are you going to transfer music from CD to 8 track? You know, that is coming back. Flip side is how do edit an 8 track tape in FCP X where there are not any? 🙂

[Michael Gissing] “It made me think that the may be unique ways to further manipulate some work started in photoshop and so for my next part of the learning curve I might play with stills.”
Pretty much how I am going to learn the software as well. Another aspect I am considering is processing a photo in Fusion because of the node based approach which will make some tasks either more efficient or easier. That photo would be part of a title sequence but will handle the remainder of the work in Motion. The photo would be used a background and brought in as a single layer.
Also, considering doing stop motion animation and plan to use Fusion to remove any unwanted objects (should they show up) as well as cleaning up as necessary.
Will not completely replace Motion with Fusion but will use it for more complex workflows (as necessary) along with enhancing photos (as described above) for a title sequence. Just waiting for the Mac OS X version.

After reading through this topic time to come with my new signature:

For some reason, this one seems to apply very nicely. My two cents.

Thanks for the info Rick. I currently have a mid 2012 Mac Pro, guess time to upgrade to the new model.

A bit off topic but how does Resolve run on the new 5K model?

It took me sometime to figure out what Apple meant when first jumping into the reinvented wheel. Prior to this change and coming from an Avid background getting started with prior versions of Final Cut Pro was easy. Then came changing the terminology, for whatever reason, followed by confusion. To me a library should be a project, the timeline a sequence. I am neutral on events, though slightly leaning to bins.
Apple took a bold, different direction with X, mainly good.

Excellent news in there. Look forward to when it does become available for Mac, hoping for a release at the end of this year but will just have to wait.
While my work does not require a powerful program such as Fusion, going to look at it to process still images. A node based approach might be a bit much but look forward to a more powerful, flexible way of doing things. I am certainly excited by the news.

[Shawn Miller] “So, just out of curiosity. Is anyone here (besides Michael, Simon and Walter) considering giving Fusion a try? If so, what are you expecting to use it for; compositing, motion graphics, VFX, a blend of all three? What other software are you hoping to replace or extend with Fusion?”
Going to give it a try, went with the free version on my Windows laptop. Waiting for the OS X version to come about, just a waiting game for now.
I would never use a node based compositor for motion graphics. For more complex green screen work, Fusion would be a better option. Motion and After Effects still have their place. Motion is too much of an investment for me to walk away from. My two cents.
