    [David Berez] “But the Fischer Price packaging is killing me. Bottom line, after 20 something years of non linear editing interfaces I should not be embarrassed to share my screen with my clients. How the heck do we justify our professional rates when the interface looks like it was designed for 14 year olds?”

    I think it’s just an issue you have to come to terms with David. I kind of getting where you coming from. It does not (added after re reading and an edit) feel like you are a the controls of some mighty thing that nobody else can understand or do. It is almost within reach of (in fact is) iMovie users who want to do some simple stuff. It doesn’t make you feel grown up or professional enough. I am no taking the piss here, I felt the same but didn’t know quite how to put it into words.

    What can I say. You get used to it. Then don’t notice it. The you look at other NLE interfaces one day and they all look rathe fussy and unnecessarily old school “source record”

    I was embarrassed that my ‘pro’ interface looked to the untrained eye like iMovie.

    I got over it. You will too.

    Many thanks for that Mark. Bit of ‘Doh!’ moment. I should have thought of that.

    Am I alone in finding this update rather exciting? I’m probably a bit sad I know.

    Thanks Bret didn’t know about that I will look into it.

    Wonder if I can use them after the fact. Job now completed but I’d love to smooth a couple of them up.

    Thanks. Trouble is I’m cutting!

    The odd thing is it doesn’t happen every time. Usually the default ease in ease out works fine but occasionally it jars. Little bitty bug in there maybe?

    Thanks for this. I just find ease in and ease out can still be rather jumpy. Wondered if there was another way.

    I’ll look into Bezier curves thanks

    Thanks

    And I hope you won’t forget “Timecode” by Mike Figgis? Really interesting use. Four simultaneous stories that overlap.
