If we had that skimmer option in the timeline things would be better. Still a mess but much better.
At the moment the lack of a source-viewer with mini-timeline with proper TC-readouts is really a pain in certain projects.

I’d say a HUD is a good compliment to a fixed tool / function but is, in general, a terrible way of gathering tools and read-outs as their primary place to be. This since they don’t have a fixed position on the screen and they by nature are an “overlay” on top of other tools or info.

It depends on the performance we can expect. If it’s around 16X faster than a $3 000-5 000 system than for some single-system users it’s worth $25 000. Also, this sounds like it could be a terrific add-on for large-scale Anywhere systems.
But yes, it’s use is quite “slim”. I would imagine multi-GPU Titan systems will get you a very very very long way in Premier Pro, After Effects and Resolve. And they “only” cost $1 000 a pop.

Having one place to show the current TC of a clip and timeline isn’t very practical. Especially not when FCPX seems to bug at time switching from event viewer to a project.
In a “classical” editing app you can easily have the sequence and source side-by-side showing exact frame matching as well as TC in, TC and TC on current frames. I guess this isn’t something that’s possible in FCPX?

Adobe Anywhere does feel very specialized. Cool product for some but really not for “most” if I dare say it that way.
In a small 2-4 people workgroup sitting locally (which I think could be the case for a lot of smaller companies) a shared solution in-app would be far more valid. Little – if anything – has happened on that front, has it?

Not quite. You can do minimalistic good looking and minimalistic bad looking. At least MC6 falled in to the later. How they managed to not even have anti-alised text and use the same icons our AVID had 1997 is quite impressive. I’d be very surprised if Ive was remotely close.
To some this is just “nonsense” but I reckon GUI design is really important. Part of these issues might be cross-platform related as i’ve seen similar issues in Adobes software. Text-rendering is still really poor on Windows compared to OSX and applications like Preview render PDF’s better looking than Adobe’s Illustrator or Acrobat Reader (Quartz vs cross-plattform engine I would think).
It’s similar to another thread where someone didn’t quite understand me questioning the scopes in PrPro CS6. They look terrible – doesn’t fit into the app at all in 2013.
That said – sometimes you have no options.

Massive update. Resolve becoming more and more a finishing tool. Would be interesting to know the OpenFX performance. Is it pure CPU-based or will they encourage real time filters?
-
MC6 felt like jumping back into OS9. Uggly and mildly depressing.
I never said FCPX was great. It has huge flaws on the flexibility side for sure.

This seems not to be valid in Sweden, or am I wrong?

…and maybe a GUI from the 21st century? MC7 might be better in that regard compared to MC6 and I know I got the comment “would you seriously choose your editor based on it’s GUI?!” and my answer is to a degree yes.
