    That’s exactly what I do for a living: personal training to students and professionals, in Avid, FCP X, FCP 7, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Motion.

    The only thing is I’m in Spain.

    If they pay me a plane and give me hosting, we have a deal.

    😉

  • Thanks Shane and the other for your answers.

    I too write mobile phone. Difficult sometimes. To write. Thank.

    You.

    Flavio.

  • Yes, I missed the irony.

    And yes, I think your atitude is still warmongering and borders arrogance, whatever your words were headed to me or to anyone else.

    Chill out, mate.

  • Jules, with all due respect, I am amazed by your warmongering and tone.

    Again, I use and teach all three major NLE’s, and, if you read carefully my post, you will find
    that I’m pro-everything, as I keep saying they’re all good, they’re all capable, it’s personal choice, etc..

    So, you use Premiere Pro? Brilliant!

    I love it too, and I teach it, and I will write an article about CS6 very soon, but this one was about FCP X.

    In any case, I’m not interested in conversations with a fighting atitude, so I’ll end this one with you here.

    Regards.

  • It´s so funny that, just today, I’ve have posted an article on my blog, evaluating the state of FCP X a year after its announcement, and some of the things I still don’t like a lot are announced also just today to be improved and implemented by Apple.

    Do you want to me to complain in another post, so Apple give us what we want the same day?

    😉

  • I’ve just found lots of errors in the translation.

    Where it says “Outstanding improvements”, it should say “Pending improvements”, wich is exactly the opposite thing!

    So, you could be interpreting the wrong way.

    That’s my list of things to improve.

    Regards.

  • LOL.

    Guys! You’re too funny! 🙂

    I had a laugh reading the translated version too.

    Funny when it translates “montar” (to edit) to “ride”.

    “I ride a lot in FCP X”.

    Anyway, I asure you my English grammar is better than that! I actually blog a lot in English, but I’m afraid I just don’t have the time to translate this particular post these days.

    And, about the “Background rendering” controversy, this is probably because of the translation, but
    I never say rendering in particular happens while you play. I speak about Background processes in general, and the example I give is about archiving a card, importing-copying from it, and transcoding, wich do happen in the background, even if you play video.

    Yes, we all know rendering in particular pauses if you do something, but my point was none of this processes (and I again, my example was about archiving, copying, transcoding) stop you from editing, in opposition of other NLE’s, that I also love, where if you do any of this, you can’t use the program until this processes get done.

    It’s probably a semantic thing, anyway.

    What I try is to give a balanced view, with a list of good stuff and bad stuff.

    I you follow my blog (sorry, Spanish only), you will learn that I use and teach all major NLE’s. I just hate the anti-Apple pro-Apple thing…

    Keep riding your editors!

  • I was giving examples of “known bold statements” repeated from time to time.

    It not has to be being Apple, It has to be with Apple being the only one trying to innovate instead of adding little things.

    That is your opinion, but think about this:

    Who was the first to offer native h.264 editing?.

    Adobe.

    Who was second?.

    Avid.

    Meaning… In some areas, FCP X is not really innovating, but catching up with others.

    Metadata?.

    Strongly implemented in Adobe applications, and inside Premiere Pro (XMP certified), where you can actually organize things in smart collections using Adobe Bridge, integrated with Premiere.

    Not saying Apple doesn´t innovate, just saying the world is bigger and everything is relative.

    People react to your opinions because they sound a little “my way, or the highway”.

    Problem is when you need a car, and a company offers you a plane that only flights where the company wants.

    Peace.

  • Leo, relax!.

    IMHO, Premiere it’s not the future, but a reincarnation of the past.

    That´s the kind of bold statement I was referring to before.

    “Avid is death”.

    “Premiere is the past”.

    And so on…

    No one knows about the future, but really… Why does it have to be in Apple´s hands?.

    Guess what?. With the original FCP, we heard thousands of times things like that:

    “FCP is the future”.

    “Students are using it, so all films will be edited in FCP very soon”.

    “It´s the new thing”.

    And now, the original FCP does not exists any more.

    What you need to understand is, apart from the software itself, is that there is a question of trust in Apple. They have a history in killing applications: DVD Studio, Color, Shake, FC Server…

    No one knows what will happen, but you sound a little “over the top”.

    Chill out.

    Flavio G. Garc

  • Leo, no need to apologize.

    English is not my mother language either. So we´re fine… 🙂

    I hope I didn´t get too defensive. Sorry If i did.

    Happy Saturday.

    Flavio.
