Again, Leo:

If you need to re track a shot every time you make an edit it’s not the way to go. You are wasting time. It’s ok that for a Flame, After effects, Smoke. The main reason we use a NLE is to edit, so if you loose what you already has done every time you edit, something is wrong.

I´m not comparing how Stabilize works. I´m saying what Apple says is just a lie.

If you like FCP X, use it. I use it too. But Apple lies.

I´m really tired about those comments like “It´s not the way to go”.

For whom?, for you?. Fine!. But, please, stop the bold statements.

I think the intention of the videos is to show things to people are saying FCPX is not good without ever trying it (since it’s a new way of thinking, you have to learn it. It’s not enough to launch the software and doing some clicks with the mouse to decide).

Now, that´s the other argument being said. I guess you don´t say that because of me.

As I matter of fact, not only I edit with all mayor NLE´s, including FCP X and 7, Avid and Premiere, I´m actually a teacher of all those applications, of course including X. I actually consider myself a very good teacher, one the reasons being I´m “software agnostic” and never justify any company.

You´re “way to go” is not necesarily everyone´s way to go. Same with “Apple´s way to go”.

Anyway, what I would consider important is the results, not how easy is to do something.

In the case of Stabilize, I can say FCP X´s is seriously inferior to Warp Stabilize, wich is in AE 5.5, and is probably now the best stabilization in desktop software.

By the way, and take this a joke:

No Precision Editor in a Secondary Storyline?. Why?. Why is the logic in that?.

Don´t worry, someone will chime in to say not having Precision Editor in a Secondary Storyline is the most logical thing, because you don´t need precision in something less important than the Primary Storyline. Or something like that…

Leo:

I´m not saying the features works the same way.

I´m saying those features already exists in Media Composer.

I´m not comparing how the features work.

What I´m saying is Apple lies when they say FCP X is the only application able to do Match Color or Stabilization inside the software.

Call it marketing. I call it a lie.

Anyway, if you compare Stabilization:

MC gives you more options. You can lock movement, or stabilize movement using Steady Glide. You have 3 option for trackers (Fluid trackers, etc.). You can stabilize an object inside the frame. And yres, if you trim a shot, you need to track it again. But in general, all effects involving trackers are far superior, like drawing a mask with Animatte, and tracking it to follow a character movement.

Peace!

The videos are full of lies.

No other software has “Match Color”?.

Please…

Media Composer has that almost since day one.

Too complicated to keep things in synch in Media Composer, when trimming?.

Just use “Synch Locks”.

No stabilization inside the application?.

Again… Please…

Media Composer has the Stabilize effect, wich works great.

Are there interesting things in FCP X?.

Sure.

Do they lie in this videos?.

Sure.

Shane,

I think there is a way to match to the orginal clip.

Use, from the top menu: view, match frame, source file. I think that will load the original master clip in the viewer.

I´m not with my Mac now, but…

I´m from Spain.

There was a convention months ago called “Broadcast” (similar to Nab, but smaller).

There, the rumors were so different. Actually, the rumor was Apple is going to launch a new set of aplications oriented to desktop publishing.

A new suit of aplications to compete with Adobe Photoshop, etc..

Anyway, I think is just bad news for Avid or FCP editors. I mean; we don´t know anything about the future of our tools.

I have the strong feeling that Apple doesn´t care about pro software, about its development. All they do is buying technology, then giving it away for free…

We have secrecy from both companies, delays of announced software, etc..

Not fair…

Flavio.

Thanks for the tip.

For me, Optical Flow will work good sometimes and sometimes it won

[Flavio G. garcía]

And I can asure you it

Right, they don
