Once FCP ups it’s anty with media management, I don’t think we’ll see much kickin’ and screamin’ from editors goin’ from Avid to the FCP. This will happen before current Avid products step up to where FCP is in every other catagory.

You’ll need to set keyframes for the lights to move em.
I have not tried but you may be able copy paiste your position keyframes from yer text. -

Charlie, you are more than a friend to me.
While I hav’nt as many years as you, I have managed to shoe-horn some livin’ into my years. I think I know what you’re talkin’ about.
Life is peaks and vallies and because I’ve been in a valley, I know a peak is now on it’s way. I’m gonna need some help with some workflow for a couple of years beginning the middle of next year. Location aint a factor.
I’d like to hear that grin of yours in your next post, man.
All endings are a beginning.
all of em. -
title tool ahoy, man.

sound like we otta hang out soon. I’ve not heard you this glum before.
I felt sad seeing some of my old land marks replaced by liquor stores and such but I tell ya, the sweels of happiness everytime I stumbled accross things I was’nt even looking for sure made it worth it.
Dude, I hear ya on the evolution of the technology and people in this field. It is one field now. As you mentioned, it use to be sevral fields of specialists. I’m as guilty as anyone. Started out as a cameraman, turned into an editor because I was a director-wannabe, and now am a jack of all trades one man band production company… one tiny step up from a kid in a basement with FCP and a 300 dollar camcorder.
This sound like a horrible thing but it aint. True HD will redefine any lines in the grey very soon and in the meantime, old dudes have freakin honed their craft bigtime to justify their rates all this time. I, like you, feel tired and prolly not very marketable right now. There will always be a market for experience, though. Ironicly, when we are oldest, wisest and with the most experiences to share… thats when people stop listening. Aint a grandpa in the world that doesn’t wanna tell more stories to some kid on his knee and there aint a kid in the world that has time for that.
I was asked in Texas if I had any regrets so far in life. I told em “I wish I could sit on Papaw’s knee and listen this time.”
Man, we are not different than any other industry. We are over worked, under paid and treated closer to a 3/4″ deck than an artist. We are mear tools to get jobs done.
Perhaps what I’m feeling now is that just isn’t good enough. I have talants and I feel if I don’t share, tell and listen
… well, I’ll waist these talants. I don’t like waistin’ stuff.
Bitter old men aint mad about things they did in life. They are mad about what they did’nt do. -
Well I have a feelin he was just cold-callin for content but hey I hear ya man. It had a few old friends call me anyway.
