[Robert Houllahan]I use the Stanley Kubrick button in DaVinci Resolve all the time….

Meh, I prefer the Spielberg preset.

I can’t wait until After Effects CS6 with the new JJ Abrams lens-flare feature.

[Andy Neil]I said it was hyperbole, which it was. That IS “owning up to it”.

Not really. You claim you are engaging in hyperbole as part of your strategy, but your original post is very clear that you are trying to take the middle ground between one position that exists and one that does not. You asked Mike:

“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, why would you utilize hyperbole here? How can Mike show derision for something that does not exist? If you meant something else, then why did you not say what you meant? I don’t feel like I’m going out on a limb here to say that you assumed that such a statement had been made without really knowing so and thus you stated something out of your own ignorance of what had been said so far. The “hyperbole” is an afterthought to cover for that erroneous assumption.

It was also grouped with another ridiculous statement from the “pro FCP X” debate, but you just seem to ignore that because it doesn’t help you.

I’m not sure what you are saying here. Why do I care that you were half-right? Sure, people are making “facts” that Apple has certain features planned, one only has to see the numerous references to Alex4D to pick up on that. So why would I even reference it? You can have derision for something that actually exists.

I never stated it as a fact. There are no quotes on the statement. You are simply reading into it what you want.

Andy, please don’t insult my intelligence.

“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!

[Gary Huff]

The statement that people have said that Apple will not be implementing multicam. You stated it as a fact, and it is not. Now instead of owning up to it, you’ve come up with a convoluted explanation to save face that sounds completely ridiculous.

You made an assumption, and you were wrong.

[Gary Huff]

Andy, you are continually stretching that point until it has broken and snapped back to hit you in the face.

Your statement was not true and based in ignorance of what has been said here. Own up.

[Gary Huff]

So that’s your own opinion.

And I’ve had clients make much more disparaging remarks against whatever in the industry they don’t like than the term “glee club.”

How thick is your skin, Craig? Doesn’t seem like a lot.

[Gary Huff]

Andy, can you please provide a link where a post states that Apple will not be adding these features. Please make sure it is phrased as a statement of fact, not “Apple won’t be adding multicam until 2 or 3 versions away” or “I don’t think Apple will ever add multicam because…”

[Gary Huff]

Which was my point, but you are constantly trying to stretch it into that it was a fact that there was an attempt, when this says nothing at all.

[Gary Huff]

“Glee club” was name calling? I guess you hate glee clubs then.

I think you are stretching the definition of name calling there, Craig.

[Gary Huff]

Wishful thinking, nothing more.

Craig, you don’t seem to understand what I’m saying. I said “placeholder” not actual code in and of itself.

Do you know what a string reference in a binary is? They didn’t reverse-engineer the executable, they simply did a dump and saw a string value with that info. That’s all. Doesn’t mean there’s any actual code (or attempt at a code) whatsoever.
