More likely Lightwave has its own video codecs that get installed and somehow they were overwritten or removed when CS5.5 was installed.

[Carsten Orlt]I just reduced everything getting ready for the slim lined world of FCP x. So very true that a lot of people still relate professional to complicated.

What did you “reduce”? What do you mean by “slim lined world”?

[Gary Huff]

Nice.

I’ve never touched Autocad.

[Gary Huff]

Well, except for the fact that I can’t do any work under Linux…

[Gary Huff]

[Gerald Baria]And internet will only get cheaper. Im thinking forward here.

Tell that to the Canadians. And we may not be that far off.

[Gary Huff]

[Gerald Baria]And then there’s iCloud. One location for all our data, and all of our Apple devices will be able to access information from it with their native interface on whatever device your using. You know what this means. Final Cut Pro X editing on your iPad, in full power. Then you put it down, pick up your edit on your iMac. These devices does not even need to be as powerful as each other, as the rendering will be done remotely either on the cloud or on your own personal mini servers at the post house.

At this time, on average, I shoot at least 16GB of footage per shoot (I do a lot of DVCPRO HD and soon to be AVC-Intra). I do a lot of DSLR shoots that average around 40-ish GB.

Are you telling me that I will be uploading all that to the iCloud?

Please.

[Andy Neil]You however, have not been interested in my point.

Your point is right, but not in the reasoning you give.

You say that both sides need to stop pretending that they speak for Apple when it comes to speculation on what features will or won’t be added,

This is correct. You can’t state that Apple will add needed missing features as a fact, nor can you do the same that Apple will not.

but you only slam the “cult-like” fanboys.

Now you are wrong.

Where’s your derision for the people saying that Apple isn’t planning on adding multicam back in, or any true “professional” features because they are only interested in making gadgets and toys?

Now you ask Mike where his derision is for people who are saying things that have never been said.

You know, the vast majority of posters.

Wrong again.

There is as much truth to any of that as there is to those saying that FCPX will have all the pro features back by the end of the year.

No one has stated that either. So you are wrong yet again.

Andy, where is your derision for people who are claiming that Apple is involved in slave labor and is using FCPX to brainwash the minds of innocent editors?

[Gary Huff]

[Gary Pollard]What was it you said about hyperbole?

Perhaps you should be more worried about selectively quoting people?

[Gary Huff]

[Gary Pollard]Ah well, I assume you don’t think “Luddites” is name-calling either then.

Fair point, but I wouldn’t get my panties in a twist over it either.

Unless your entire argument against people who think FCPX isn’t the end-all, be-all rests simply on an assertion that they are Luddites. Hasn’t been outright said here, but more than not-so-subtly implied.

So, tit-for-tat.

[Gary Huff]

[Andy Neil]Then show me posts that prove my statement, “those saying that FCPX will have all the pro features back by the end of the year.”

You know what? You’re right. I have no idea if anyone has said that (and probably not). I didn’t pick up on that last “end of the year.” But that begs a “so what?”

Here is Mike’s original line about that:

When people speak for Apple (as if they worked for them) saying that Apple will or will not be adding features in the future it really does not help anyone since this is pure speculation on their part.

He never says “end of the year”, so again, something you just threw in there. No one on the pro-FCPX is saying “Hey, it’ll all be good at the end of the year!” and no one on the anti-FCPX side is accusing them of saying that.

Except you.

So now you are wrong on both counts, which makes your original post pointless.

“Where’s your derision for the people saying that Apple is running slave labor camps and that FCPX is a way to brainwash the masses!”

Oh, wait, I didn’t mean that anyone was actually saying that! I was just using…uh…hyperbole! yeah, that’s it!
