Well the workflow is a little “clunky” since you have to re-render everything though photoshop if anything is changed. Not sure if / how well PS handles audio and QuickTime.
But sure, you can have a set look in PS and use it as a “transcode and finishing” solution. I have in the past for certain PS-only filters. It really locks things down though.
Another solution would be to add the filter to the used raw footage and reconforming that hence having handles and such remain in the edit.

I’d ask the photographer for the PSD-file and see what he’s used in terms of layers / FX. This could then relativly easily be replicated in FCPX or After Effects. As some has pointed out you could do it in PS directly but I wouldn’t recommend that if it can be avoided.

Really sad / odd they haven’t done anything with the scopes. A vital tool few (any?) NLE does really “right”. FCPX’s looks great, not sure about their accuracy though, FCP7 looked ok but where quite buggy. PrPro CS6 I can’t comment on accuracy but boy do they look like a sad panda.

A few things:
– Export only used footage for archiving, online, grade of X sequences. A cut might have 500 GB of RAW footage where you only use 1/100th of this. This 1/100th might then be used in 20 different edits. This would include the ability to trim used footage files and transcode all footage to a unified codec.
– Batch-export features of the above with or with out any kind of media management being done.

Also, the complete suite of image editing apps (Photoshop, Lightroom, After Effects, Premier, Prelude, Speedgrade) could use a decent set of solid scopes. One is for validating or comparing images and of course any image-editing / grading / coloring or final output this is vital. It’s quite shocking Photoshop hasn’t seen any improvements in this area during it’s 25-30 years of existence.

They look shocking. Worst scopes I’ve seen in any app. Not sure what more to say about them. Uggly and unflexible. Maybe they are accurate? Still, they hurt my eyes looking at them. They don’t feel like they belong in a modern app from 2013 – maybe some odd editor one would find circa 1997 on Windows 95.
If FCPX has one thing correct and that’s the look of it’s scopes.

Loudness meters is great but I really hope they deliver on the SCOPES as well. This is vital for grading, finishing and mastering.

Walter! Have they added a decent media-manager for output of projects now? I know this was a source of minor grief for your facility.

Nothing new on scopes (!) but they have added audio loudness monitoring.
