I don’t have an answer for your problem but I think I can explain it for you.

Motion stabilizer’s are designed to correct for in-scene erratic motion caused by camera operator issues and external vibrations. What you are probably seeing is 16mm film weave, caused by film motion within the guides that were supposed to hold the film steady while filming. It was always an issue when creating 16mm pin registered titles as their steadiness accented the underlying movement that might otherwise go unnoticed. What you need to do is stabilize the camera weave, without trying to stabilize the actual content of the footage.

Unfortunately I don’t know of anything that’s coded for that.

[Bill Davis] “Read this and tell me that the way we edit right might not be changing in the not too distant future.”

The key phrase here being “not to distant future”. What exactly does that mean … 1 year, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years ???

The Human Genome Project published the full sequence of the human genome in April 2003. At the time it was widely understood that the treatment of disease would be radically altered “in the not too distant future.” Fifteen years later there have been some miraculous results based on this knowledge, but no one would characterize these changes as the revolution in medicine that was predicted. This future is still to be realized, and “not too distant” is still the term being used. I would suggest that a lot more money, interest, and importance is being invested in these medical breakthroughs than in the ability of AI to utilize cloud computing to speed up the editing of marketing videos.

For me, I’m still waiting for Apple to deliver on the new, new, ultra new, Mac Pro so I can finally put my 8 year old Cheese Grater to bed, let alone worry about some visionary future that exists in somebody’s alternate universe.

[Oliver Peters] “Does a new Mac Mini (optioned out with all the bells & whistles) – plus one of the BMD eGPU and TB storage – become a good FCPX option in the opinion of this group?”

Even if the answer is yes you would be paying a $1000 surcharge to have an Apple logo on the box and, once again, there would be no upgrade options.

[Bill Davis] ” ALL editors are unhappy when they get a whiff that some company might not be prioritizing what THEY prefer them to prioritize over all else. It’s human nature.”

Absolutely. Every time I see Adobe adding features to Premiere for stereo or 360 I get pissed. “What about me” I cry into the endless dark night. What about my needs, my wants, my secret desires (I’m getting a little carried away now.)

But I don’t spend a second thinking about time spent by Adobe on developing apps like XDCC or Spark or any of the dozen other apps they are working on that I have no use for. And as far as I’m concerned Rush just makes it a Baker’s dozen because it doesn’t intersect with my world any more than iMovie does.

As for other editor’s opinions, well as someone once said, you can’t fix stupid.

The most interesting thing in the article was this nugget by Phil Hodgetts in the comments section:

“Philip Hodgetts
I think Chris Hocking found that – on desktops anyway – Rush was a wrapper around Premiere Pro CC and not a different (or new) app, just a new interface. That would explain the support.”

[Bill Davis] “most of the criticism I’ve seen of the release from traditional editors has centered on the idea that Adobe should be concentrating their efforts on bolstering the main software, NOT wasting their time on innovating new products for “non-pros.””

My oh my, do you have the wrong company paradigm in mind.

Unlike Apple, Adobe is a software company and they are constantly creating software that’s got nothing to do with anything video editors want, all the while maintaining a serious upgrade schedule for those who do.

As I open up my Creative Cloud account I see 24 different programs in the CC suite.

I regularly use 5 of them, all of which are getting constant upgrades. (Never bug free, but that’s a different story.)

There’s another 5 that I might use occasionally and then a whole mess of others that are a complete mystery to me and probably always will be.

Apparently Adobe has no problems doing more than one thing at a time. Maybe that’s because software is all they do.

Whatever the reason , anyone who works with Adobe products understands that Crush is no threat to Premiere’s development.

But you wouldn’t understand that, because you have no experience outside the Apple bubble.

[Bill Davis] “Establishing a new approach that jettisons some of the past thinking and sets up an approach more aligned with the FUTURE is precisely what Apple did 7 years ago with X.”

Yes, but Adobe manged to do this without killing off Premiere.

So I guess it’s possible.

How un-apple.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “p.s. to private subscribers – FCPX still died as the cabal intended, our work here is done, let us meet on the moor and burn the bracken to our final victory “

If there was justice in the world this would be the last posting under the current “Debate” name.

Thank you for all the outrage and all the laughs.

Media Encoder is fine, no need for third party software.

Your trying to playback 3 streams of 4K from one SSD drive. I’m guessing your media is some form of h264 to add to the trouble. How fast is your drive? I’m guessing this is your problem.
