Sweet action! Thanks!

[David Lawrence] ” iHobby Pro with a Fisher-Price UI.”
Perfect. It really is like going from a Lincoln Continental to a Pontiac Sunfire and the over sized radio knob just fell off…d’oh!
-
[Paul Jay] ” Sure. IHobby pro with a 4k timeline.”
oooo…a 4k timeline where I can’t even ingest the aspect ratio I shot in…
pffft
I didn’t just say “iHobby”…I threw it a bone and gave it a “Pro”

It’s funny when reading these types of articles, not the first, where it’s always stated, “his products have given so much to the world, that’s his philanthropy!”…
lol…
I mean come on! As Carlin said, “Everyone’s got a cell phone that’ll make pancakes and rub their balls now”….which has led to the dismissal of the things that really matter with a pathological obsession of toys and gadgets…
Not a slight, just an observation.

Is there an option somewhere in PPro, like FC where I can drag a clip from the bin into the timeline and it asks if I’d like to auto-conform the sequence to the clip settings? Or is this all still a manual process…?
-
They should have just named it iHobby Pro. It really is geared towards hobbyists and to a limited but powerful degree to social media.
Or iFacebook Live…

FCPx is like the ’78 animated version of Lord of the Rings premiering after the Peter Jackson films…

[Richard Johnson] ” At that point I’ll make my FCPX or Not decision.”
Having the freedom of a real canvas in FCP7, could you see yourself using that storyboard? Can you see yourself hopping for a ride on a superlocamotive on rails…
For me, not being able to import or build a sequence to my own specs on launch, restricting my resolution to locked aspects, give me pause to open the dang thing…but then, once in the timeline, I feel like a painter that just had all my brushes taken away and I was given a sword to paint with…Bob Ross found his niche (showing my age) in the painting world…but it’s like they shaved his fro and took away his ability to place happy little trees wherever he wanted…

But something could have changed where Apple came full circle. Make the world in his bubble, which I never really doubted left him, and take the types of products to where he wanted them to go. Conform to his thinking. Don’t leave it flowery. Make the tool pretty, even at the cost of functionality….Apple is all about window dressing now. I can’t tell you how many conversations with network nerds I have on the iphone trapping you, the ipad bubble, el al. Products that while small, still could have an open port for assimilation and inclusiveness…so they trumpet the Androids and google products…even in disdain but repeatedly I hear “at least I can do this, with Apple now..ha!”….this from guys who own mac mini’s and had a ball modding them….blackberry users that moved to the iphone and are now going to Samsung Galaxy…the circle is complete
Allowing the 3rd parties to have at it doesn’t really change the dynamic he was, or Randy, driving this turd X…it still won’t change the majority of the fundamental roadblocks. FCP7 felt like total freedom. And now it looks like they viewed that as a mistake, and a place Apple should never have gone to in the first place…and their dominance, now, can only feed that

Studio is the superior product, but given it’s age, EOL, and how they handled Shake, yes, I think it reeks of pure greed and another eye poke to sell it at it’s original pricing…it should be 300-500. And come with a hand written note by Randy apologizing for his travel video software and a pledge to release studio in 64bit. And a 299$ rebate… 😀
