[Michael Aranyshev] “Sure. Call me back when backtime edit is not an afterthought and there is a Replace on Playhead there.”
And that is the deal breaker for you? You don’t recognise any positive tradeoffs?
stupid question.

but if Resolve is free?

I have just download it. It’s free? I mean it’s free? Is that just for now or will it always be free?
Love the interface

[Steve Connor] “Realtime playback on anything but the fastest system can be bad, especially 4K.”
But … it’s FREE!!
That’s a bit of a game changer. Downloaded onto an old Imac to see what it can do on that.

Do you think Resolve will end up a front runner? It looks like a really nice interface. Anything in particular stopping people using it more at the moment?

[Aindreas Gallagher] “And at that point dougal will appear, fresh from the magic roundabout, and Albion well be made anew.”
People like what Corbyn has to say. Just like they like editing with FCPX. And what’s AMAAAZING is no matter how much you tell me that FCPX is a bag of old rusty nails I still find it an excellent tool. And no matter how much you or Tony Blair tell Labour supporters that Corbyn is the anti Christ, they like what he has to say and have voted for him in their droves Funny old world innit?
Plus I confess I have enjoyed every moment of the Labour party Old Guard closing ranks in their efforts to hold on to their jobs and the general status quo of the Labour Party. Such is the extent of Tony Blair’s hubris syndrome that he has come out not once, but twice or three times to tell everyone that if they vote for Corbyn, Labour will be finished. And every time Blair opens his mouth he makes it worse. It’s almost like he’s working undercover for Corbyn – Blair won him the election.
It’s been bloody hilarious so far. I’m enjoying every minute of it.
Less so the FCPX story. I so wish they had issued updates that would have satisfied you that they were in it for the long term and made you eat a big slice of humble pie. But they haven’t. I wouldn’t go far as to say it worries me but it’s certainly food for thought.

Because Apple are not exactly coming our of their corner with all guns blazing are they? (Excuse the mixed metaphors).

Over here in the UK from my bubble I am beginning to sense that FCPX will remain ‘Niche’. Many companies I know waited and waited and waited and then went with Premiere even in the last year.
Why? Because they couldn’t be bothered to learn from scratch new workflows and ways of thinking about editing when their previous workflows suited them very well. How can I argue with them on that?
May hell freeze over but Aindreas may yet be proved right.
We’re sitting waiting for upgrades whereas in reality all they have done with X is fixed what was wrong with it in the first place.
Is that fair?

[Aindreas Gallagher] “Corbynites have pretty thin skins.”
Damn maybe I should have been offended by that. I never knew I had a thick skin … but then I suppose how could I?
As for printing currency … well why not? If we do it to prop up banks then why not to prop up everyone else?
Once he’s dismantled the disproportionately large military machine and abandoned the nuclear deterrent, made Starbucks and Amazon pay their taxes they’ll be plenty to go round.
And we’ll all be able to afford to be editing in Smoke.

[Jeff Markgraf] “Aindreas wrote,
[Jeff Markgraf] “They’re not even funny any more. ”
well, typing it still entertains me at any rate. It was either this or getting a rise out of Jeremy Corbyn supporters. Coin flip..
I looked up Corbyn. A Labor candidate who seems to have come out of nowhere to lead the pack. So is Aindreas snarking as a supporter or a detractor? Is Corbyn analagous to Trump or Sarah Palin or none of the above?
I feel like I did way back in the day when The Two Ronnies started playing in the US: didn’t get all the jokes, and it was already several years out of date, anyway.”
Corbyn is our Bernie Sanders. Both are a breath of fresh air (in my opinion) and I don’t get the joke either.
