Craig –

I spent a happy 5 years or so, starting in ’86, doing baseball home video projects – mostly Yankee stuff. I got to work with a lot of the classic Yankee stars – Mantle, Ford , B. Martin, then current players like Mattingly, Ricky Henderson… My son never forgave me for moving into cooking shows.

[Kevin Matluk] ” I regularly open my older projects to update and also reference for newer spots.”

If this is truly important than either staying with Legacy or moving to Adobe would seem to be your best options. If you don’t have a compelling reason to change, then don’t.

[Craig Seeman] “For the benefit of other people who may not get an obscure reference”

You mean Baltimore Orioles minor league pitching prospects from the ’50s are obscure? I must be out of touch. See that’s the difference Craig, you worry about confusing your audience (the Apple way) I figure if they don’t get it they can look it up (my way.) Your way annoys the knowledgeable, my way annoys everyone 😉

[Craig Seeman] “FCPX the next Steve Dalkowski?”

I know who Dalkowski was, without Wikipedia. If you want to claim that FCPX is the Steve Dalkowski of NLE’s, go right ahead. You can even call it the Brian Taylor or Pat Jordan of NLEs if you want to be more tragic – the list goes on and on.

[Craig Seeman] “I chose that metaphor deliberately. I think it’s appropriate.”

The odds of a high school pitcher, no matter how highly thought of, making the bigs are so low that many teams refuse to draft high school pitchers at all. 100-1 is an overstatement, but if you knew the actual odds I believe you would have chosen a different analogy. 18 year old can’t miss hitting prospects yes; 18 year old can’t miss pitching prospects don’t exist.

[Craig Seeman] “To me, FCPX is like the High School pitching phenom that’s destined to be a Major League star. “

And like that high school phenom, the odds are 100-1 that he will flame out in the minors (bad arm, bad head, bad habits) and never get to the show.

Your choice of metaphor, not mine.

[Bret Williams] “Avid was the first to make the source / record analog metaphor a standard. “

On the Mac, yes, but the first, no.

EMC came out on the PC at the same time as AVid and it also had a source / record GUI. Montage was earlier than either but I believe it was a single viewer interface.
