[Steve Conner]Apple have clearly decided to go in a different direction, they have a plan,they wouldn’t be Apple if they didn’t.
Of course they have a plan. So does Adobe, Avid, HP, Microsoft, McDonalds, ect. ect. ect. You don’t become a successful company without one.
That Apple’s plan is going to be successful simply because it’s Apple is not an automatic given.

Nah, I just think all of you are scared that some kid with an iPhone 5 and FCPX on his MacBook Air is going to come along and kick all of your HPX/EX/Red camera-carrying butts.

[Tony Brittan]Now, this is all not a replacement for real equipment,
Why is it not?
[Kim Krause][I]t’s what i’ve been preaching for awhile now but be prepared to get all kinds of hate mail from so called “real” editors who will call you crazy and unprofessional.
[Craig Seeman]You have described next year’s location scout and maybe the expansion of ENG. The iPhone goes where the news crew can’t.
How come now the responses don’t jive with these original statements? I thought this was the YouTube generation, where kids are shooting on their phones and people are enjoying the videos that they put together in iMovie/FCPX and uploading to the web. Craig Seeman already mentioned a business that was using iMovie to do their videos, so why now all of a sudden the resistance to using the iPhone/iTouch/iPad as the “A” cam?

The only way this turns into a problem is if material is scattered about haphazardly. As Angelo mentioned, if everything is kept together under a main project folder, linking one single file will allow Premiere to find the rest. I do this all the time considering I work on Premiere on both platforms.
If this is not the case, I would imagine that the organization of the project itself leaves a lot to be desired.

[Ewan Lim]Nothing could fully replace a Real camera, be it an A cam or B cam. Unless one would wanna get that stock home docu look.
Why not?

Then I suggest you start becoming an evangelist for selling all that expensive camera gear and using iPhone 4s and above as the “A” camera for all future projects.

[Chris Harlan]Aren’t we getting a little overly granular in terms of debate? Am I not able to talk about my personal preferences and experience without another “you’re just not seeing the big picture” lecture? Chill a little, huh?
Because you have to embrace the future, Chris, or risk being those old fuddy duddies that get made fun of on TV!

I don’t think that’s Kim’s mantra. I think he sees the iPhone’s camera as a viable alternative to DSLRs/P2/EX cameras.

So? MacBook Air is just a computer, albeit a very light, portable system. Besides, how portable is it when you have to lug around the Thunderbolt peripheral in order to have the power you need to not have to wait for days for an export?
And I think iPad editing will happen, but won’t become the norm. Are people really not aware how annoying editing a typical project would be with a touchscreen interface? As a control surface, yes. iPad + Resolve would probably be useful.

[Liam Hall]Richard, if it works for you go for it and don’t worry what grumpy, self-opinionated has-beens say on the internet.
Hahahahaha, that’s rich!
