Please don’t get me wrong but I did read something somebody wrote here (Bret maybe) about how, with the resources they have, it’s taken so long. But of course I do kind of grasp (kind of because it’s so far away from anything I could ever think about doing) that creating something like this is gargantuan. Just occasionally I can’t help wondering where it is in their list of priorities.

Any thoughts on the change of course?

… what’s taking them so long? Is this a game?

[James Ewart]

Okay. Thank you Ann. Not quite s simple as “make favourite effect” is it?

Ann could you elaborate on that please?

Many thanks

Can you talk me though that in more detail please? I have had great success syncing with FCPX but much smaller amounts of footage at a time so have not had to use pluralise for a while.
I guessFCPX just can’t handle your volume?

Thanks

James

Thanks for that.

So is there really any advantage to that over and above the “Transfer Library’ system with different people using their own Library as only one person is very going to be actually cutting a particular sequence/project at once?

I understand the production line workflow (that’s how I work). I will block out an hour long film into more manageable chunks and send them off to others at various intervals.

I suppose I’m saying is it better of just different to the FCPX solution?

Thanks again.

[James Ewart]

Thanks for that.

I spend much more time asking questions here than I do answering them so I appreciate your taking the time Oliver and all…

This must be the Media Management to which all my Avid editor friends refer when they are trying to explain their preference (apart from that’s the tool they prefer anyway which is cool with me).

The Duplicate Libraries with Events containing Sym links to the same files and then using “Transfer Libraries” (Ripple term) for me to be able to share my latest version with you seems a good solution.
I am interested in the land of the Hollywood blockbuster why so may working on the exact same cut?

Things could get very messy no? How does that work please I am intrigued.

Many thanks

James

Would “move into sync” be such an unreasonable function?

[James Ewart]

I get what you are saying but I am thinking in terms of long projects where I come back to something and then change my mind or realise I have made a mistake. It’s a 60 minute film – I’ve come back to something weeks later…

So say I have tampered with the audio and you like what you have done and therefore do not want to Shift F Option R because that will get me back to square one. BUT I do want the audio back in sync. What then?

[James Ewart]

I do miss “slip into sync” and “move into sync” for this kind of stuff. It would be nice to have this option having “detached” audio. Actually having started with Avid MC this was the thing about FCP (1.2) that I loved the most. So helpful.
