And how much did a project like this cost?

wot no QuickTime?
Weirdly I have been thrown a load of stuff shot in FlipCam SD for a theatre and they have maximum file sizes of 45MB and I am struggling to get them down to his size on Export with FCPX.
“We’ve never had this problem before they say” and of course they are dinosaurs but it can be a challenge as many clients are still a fair bit behind. But it becomes “my problem”.
Thank God for MpegStreamclip..I do not know what I would do.
I have always found Compressor crap.
What they do not think about is those of us “professionals” whose clients are not.

Well we are all hoping and praying they have committed and this is not an experiment are we not?
I do not want to go to Adobe much and for some reason, having learnt to be multi skilled with FCP 1.2 onwards and being from a producer/director background I cannot get my head round Avid at all.

FCPX has changed my life. But I am 52 and it took me a year.
but I still don’t like the curved edges and find drag and drop from Event browser a bit clunky still.
Just settling in to watch “The Epic of Everest” from Curzon on demand. if ever you are in the Uk their cinemas in London are wonderful and if you can access watch on demand outside UK I also recommend it.
The best movies.
Have a good weekend all

Don’t get me wrong I am a “convert” and the deeper I look the more complex and profound I realise it is. I open legacy and it feels like going back in time so very very far. For me, who used to checkerboard (in dubbing parlance) so much I have realised some clever guys and girls must have looked at how many of us worked and realised the expand audio function solved so may problems. But they have looked so very far and deep into the future the development of the software, it must have cost so much and I started thinking how long would it take and how much would it cost to create software this brilliant and complex from the ground up.
There is so much to it.
Of course here in UK, conservative and resistant to anything new and to change most people still don’t get it
How many years must they have been working on this?
How did they keep it such a secret?
And to sell it for 200 quid?
Wow.

Would it not be much much easier to do all your trimming down from there at the very least using two camera multi cam even if you do not want to use the Event Browser to organise your footage? But I also do not understand why you would want to work this way. You are choosing not to use two very powerful helpful features in the software designed to help you do the kind of work you are doing.
What are the reasons and benefits of your choice of workflow here over the “recommend” modus operandi?

I love you brave guys who boldly go…
-
Select all and double click or expand audio and it all opens up…not quite the same but similar.
You are thinking some kind of toggle for always expanded audio…i guess could help.
Don’t think it will make much difference to my workflow.
