[Bill Davis] “That this doesn’t “work” for you is no indication that it doesn’t work for some of us”
/sigh
I said that in my post…but thanks, haven’t heard that one in a couple of weeks…
[Bill Davis] “You’ve clearly at ease with the idea of the “traditional” timeline where if something isn’t on the timeline, that is a single state representation of nothingness.
Cuz, in Legacy a blank spot on the timeline is precisely that. Nothing. And you can’t do a damn thing about it.In X, it’s something. (A gap clip, to be precise) As something it can take on attributes.It can be tracked, it can be accounted for. It can connect to stuff. When it’s nothing – nothing is possible except that it sits there.”
It gets exhausting responding to your posts Bill. I have more control over the timeline in legacy. I like it better. A LOT better. That’s all that matters to me. I asked a question, I got a thoughtful answer, I responded in kind.
Does it need further psychoanalysis and some existential gobbledygoop on top?

[tony west] “I’m not locking and unlocking tracks because there are no tracks. I’m just dropping stuff down the way I want without having it effect other clips.”
While I don’t mean to, in any way, disparage your liking or experience, I have to point out, “the way you want” is a contradiction in terms regarding this timeline.
One thing for sure here, the language we use for other NLE’s does not translate to this “NLE”
The “way I want” to place audio and video conforms to how FCX wants. And I have to create slugs and roles and compound clips if I even want to attempt to do “what I want”…I want to put something here – I can’t, I want to layer this way, I can’t. I want to import this video, I can’t unless I transcode to fit the locked AR. Very simple procedures any where else. The relationship of control and the editor is wiped away and the FCXers will argue that’s the way it’s supposed to function…but for some, that’s just puzzling. It doesn’t *have to* function this way…
You have an appreciation for it I will never get, you bring the one thing you can’t find in any other NLE as a “better way”. Which was the gist of my query. Please don’t interpret any of this as a criticism. You like it. I think it blows lol. What I have to say almost matters…

I’d probably spend my time being a lot more helpful to questions in the FCS4 forum instead of my self serving rantfest in this one…

[Bill Davis] ” Sink or swim, what makes them Apple is partly the willingness to push for better than “we do that too.””
Instead of “we do that too” they would be better served saying “we do that too and more“…instead of “you do what we say, or get out of the way”

Good god man. Nothing in your post is a justification, reason, nor immediate legitimacy to spend resources to port a 64bit, multi-core, gpu powered, software that requires, at best, minimum screen real estate to manipulate and edit a video…
A clock can be any size. Watching video can be any size. Creating video can be any size. But there are things that are just not (lets go caps here) PRACTICAL
So it becomes a gimmick. I’d rather Adobe spends their resources on meta data and management. Fixing bugs. Talking to editors. Continuing to innovate *how* we work, not *where* we work. Going out in the field. Than having to worry about porting a robust edit suite seriously not practical for the padders of the world. It can have it’s uses in a variety of ways…but good god that’s not what was said here…it was GET IT ON THE IPAD TRAIN BEFORE APPLE….

Yes Bill…I notice where this is trending. I disagree, or don’t have an appreciation for it simply for the very fact it’s just a silly gimmick to throw an edit suite on an 9inch pad and would be nothing more than a toy…. You want it, all the power to you…hope you get it…more gadgets NEED MORE GADGETS! I hope it makes pancakes too

Posts like this make me wonder if there is a case of Stockholm syndrome being exposed here…

And a nice resizable window making match framing that much easier…
Seems a lot to give up for a missing click…
Dave was just being facetious
