Yeah, we’re kind of closer to the no farm and trying to make other machines render after hours. The network is pretty fast but storage could be a problem with storage remaining.
Its only for one project to try and speed up deliverables so its more of a tweak to exisitng infrastructure. No need to boast !

Thanks for posting this.
I liked the part about how “it’s like a cruise. Awful at first but great near the end !”

[Bill Davis] “The last “wedding video” that I watched was produced by NBC and the BBC – and was likely the single most costly live video production of the past 100 years. The Royal Wedding from England.”
That’s really stretching the idea of a “wedding video”, Bill. No slurring speeches, no awkward dance, no drunken disco.

When the gentleman talking is selling training in said tool

[Tangier Clarke] “So, FCP becomes a nice little prosumer editing tool used by small boutique, educational/industrial producers – I think Apple is fine with that. “
I disagree. If that happened it would be a severe climbdown for Apple.

[Neil Patience] “I think neither are yet perfect but its a start and will develop and improve so collaborative tools are starting to appear.”
There’s definitely huge scope to shake up everything in the post world, again its hard to get people/engineers/bosses to buy into a new suite that needs a lot of caveats and plugins that dont have the “marketing” sparkle of red giant, magic bullet etc.
Also, if 7tox projects dont import perfectly ( all keyframes, speed ramps, titles ) then its kind-of worse than useless. The time it takes to rebuild is outweighs any FCPX advantage for me anyway.
[Neil Patience] “But he does not ever have to do anything that involves anyone else.”
Exactly, that seems to be the largest divide here. Which makes me sad as FCP7 was such a flexible tool to unite everyone . Sigh

[Neil Patience] “ITV is all Avid for programme making.”
They use some FCP for on-lining their own promos, not so ?
[Neil Patience] ” If there is enough of a groundswell towards Adobe and/or FCPX here then the bigger facilities will be forced to support it I would imagine.”
Its really hard to see that right now, there’s so little traction here. Maybe one day.
[Neil Patience] “I personally cant get on with FCPX, it has some great features but the overall GUI, paradigm, concept and timeline don’t work for me. But that’s just me.”
Agreed ! I want it to work but I feel so cut-off from everyone else if i dare to use it ! No EDL, XML etc
