[David Roth Weiss] “would you want your latest project pirated and distributed on the Internet before you even finished editorial?”

No, and neither did I post an illegal copy of Avid’s new MC6 on the Cow.

If you want to look at it that way, then the only thing I posted about the “project” was an outline of the story without giving away the ending. What is wrong with that? No one is leaking illegal made copies here of the project.

[David Roth Weiss] “would you want your latest project pirated and distributed on the Internet before you even finished editorial?”

Sorry David, but I distinctly remember a different situation earlier this year; the forum was full of speculations and “leaked” stills of FCPX’s new interface, so where does all this political correctness (gone mad) suddenly come from?

[Michael Hancock] “There’s definitely some new stuff in there, but not too much.”

Well, it took them some 20+ years before their editing software became “open” to other hardware vendors and use their code. How can you say that’s “new, but not too much”?!?! Besides, this is a deal maker/breaker for most FCP7 users at this moment, and would be important if they want to move from their old, trusted, discontinued NLE to another editing app.

Try to put this announcement into perspective and understand what it means to most FCP users out there: a couple of months ago their hardware was made obsolete thanks to Apple. Yes, they can still use FCP7, but for how long really (new codecs, changing formats, etc.)? What to do with their Aja and BMD cards?

Avid seems to bring some good news to them, and I think it’s good to know that this is being confirmed one way or the other, and that it wasn’t part of some marketing trick (remember old Avid promises). FCP users can now take the plunge into Avid without too many new investments and run MC on their systems.

Why would you want to deny the readers of the Cow this news?

Spoiler alert! If you DON’T want to know what will be included in the next version of Avid Media Composer 6, stop reading here!

The reason I post this here is because a lot of people are deciding with which NLE platform they want to continue, and it is my opinion that people are informed as soon when there’s real physical proof (the website stills from the Avid site were there to confirm it’s authenticity) to where Avid’s roadmap is going with their Media Composer product.

For instance, the average FCP7 user would want to know if it’s true that Avid will be supporting other video cards like Aja and Blackmagic, or if it will be able to write ProRes files, running in 64 bit or where AMA is going to in the next to be released version.

I wonder though… if I would’ve shown stills from the “new” FCPX interface somewhere back in March or April; how would the people reacted then? Answers please in this thread 😉

Doesn’t seem like you’re adding much to what I already said, Trevor. My post was more like a warning than a complaint. I couldn’t really find an answer when looking at the Code of Conduct from the Cow either:

A little bit of clarity would be appreciated. And don’t feel offended so quickly.

Thanks, I love the quick response you guys have with this software!

[Juan Morales]

Wait… Posted it wrong. Here it goes again:

[Juan Morales]

Checked the XML file… It looks like something was misinterpreted somewhere by the looks of it. Here’s a bit of the XML code genereted by Resolved:

Andreas Ensemble_DEF (Resolve)
5284

25
true

-1
-1

00:00:00:00
0
NDF

25
false

Any thoughts?

[Juan Morales]

I did the same, copied everything on the timeline, made a new sequence 1080 – 25p and pasted everything back.

Hmm, 24.98 fps. Still, never had this problem before with Resolve… or FCP7 for that matter.

[Juan Morales]

Thanks, I’ll try that today…
