” It just needs to get a little romance involved”
Keep it quiet, but when Bill gets back from nab I’m proposing.

Winning post Bill. Winning.

Legacy had background rendering toO then. When I stop editing I hit render and bam! Background rendering. I set mine to a second. Those of us who use it daily to earn a living learnt this years ago.
Bill, I’m aware you do a refined line in blinkered delusion with copious amounts of passive aggressive patronisation, but however you hold the picture frame Apple said FC10 had background rendering as a big selling point and it doesn’t. It renders while you don’t work. It starts automatically. That isn’t background rendering. At all. That’s not me deciding it for everyone, it’s just logical and obvious really.
My point isn’t that I need rendering or I even give an arse about background rendering, my point was misinformation becoming fact and a part of the justification for what I see as premature and slightly cultish crowing about a souped up version of iMovie that, I promise you, will NEVER achieve the status FCP reached before being ditched.
I’m really glad for you that you are so thrilled with keywords. It must give hours of fun for you and as an added bonus keeps the grey matter active so you won’t need to resort to crosswords, or boggle. That’s blinding bill, every little helps after all. But FC10 doesn’t do background rendering and Apple lied and still lie about it. And the OP perpetuated that lie.
And that, my dear chap, was my whole point. Which is pretty indisputable.
In addition, CS6 isn’t out yet, so, um, yeah.

I’d hardly call anything I said warmongering. But hey ho.
And, um, having an opinion isn’t arrogant. Being challenging to what I consider fallacies isn’t arrogant. If everyone was to agree with everyone and we just went ‘yeah, the latest upgrade of FCP was awesome’ well, then this forum wouldn’t have much debate.
In fact, the opinion you are criticising is perfectly valid. Misinformation isn’t irrelevant. And to dismiss a concern that this Apple marketing spin (background rendering) is becoming fact because of misinformed opinion is irrelevant, well, that’s just not right and I for one am happy to say that I believe that isn’t right.
People come on here, so i often read, to learn about others’ opinions on FC10 and thus aid in their decision making process. Perhaps to many £300 isn’t much, but if you buy something that isn’t what you were lead to believe it was, then £300 is wasted, and to some that is a lot. So, it doesn’t background render, like all the other NLEs don’t background render. And now someone who may not have known that but heard it does, will know that if they read this thread.
See how you’re a catalyst for others becoming more informed. That’s wonderful.
I think you’re being overly sensitive though.
Chill out mate.
-
How can I criticise about getting it right when I used shouldn’t instead of should.
Shame on me.
Shame.
-
With all due respect mate, we weren’t talking. I was replying to Bill believing misinformation is irrelevant.
You missed a rather large dash of irony. How can I have been using CS6 for 7 months?
On the flip side, FC10 doesn’t, it transpires, do background rendering. So despite not liking my tone, you’ve learnt something.
Hurrah.
-
haha, so let me get this right, Giving incorrect information as an ‘oooh, no one else does it’ part of the justification for choosing an NLE is perfectly fine despite it misinforming people and therefore reducing their ability to make an informed decision because, um, misinformation is ‘insignificant to your thinking’.
Oh, I hate using these but this is a real lmao moment. Thank you.
Well, i’ve been using Premier Pro CS6 inensively for about 7 months now, and not only does it intuitively place clips on the timeline for me, ALWAYS correctly second guessing me (not sure how they do it but golly gosh it’s awesome and no other NLE does that yet, but watch them follow) it also trims clips using an invisible algorithm that appears to perfectly emulate the very essence of what you, the editor, is attempting to achieve within the piece you are doing, ensuring that cuts are so wonderfully balanced that you may actually get a little excited down below.
For all the positivity being spoken about FC10, it DOES NOT do this. Sure it is simplified and easy to pick up which is what you want if you don’t have the time to learn an editing app, but what it does not do, nor will it ever do due to the limitations of its trackless paradigm, is being able to intuitively edit for you like CS6 does. And this isn’t a trick or a marketing gimick, CS6 learns from your first initial placements and from a few metadata keywords you tap in at the start of the project, even considering the music you wish to underpin it with if you are doing that, and simply figures out what it is you want. Perfectly. Every time. It’s like the puck got picked up and stuffed in your, and only your, pocket.
It is frigging amazing and doesn’t need 4 point upgrades to work, it simply works right off the bat.
genius.
Oh
“Does it really matter at all if it your definition of “background rendering” is the same, mostly the same, mostly different, or entirely different than mine. That’s insignificant to my thinking.”
Yes, it matters because it was a selling point from the start and basically a fallacy, or some may call a lie. They said it renders in the background whilst you work. It doesn’t. Therefore it is a lie. Repeated in that piece as urban myth becoming fact.
Personally, when someone lies to me to try and part me from my money I tend to think rather lowly of that individual. I may even wee in their cocktail. Though there’s no guarantee of that.
-
Comes too. Typo but cheers for pointing it out.
-
Indeed it does.
Though at the same time, those that extoll shouldn’t possibly get it right.
-
He says background rendering occurs WHILST you do other stuff which NO OTHER NLE DOES.
My understanding is background rendering was just automatic rendering that occurred whilst you WEREN’T doing something.
Either my understanding is wrong or people keep banging on about this awesome feature that doesn’t actually exist. Though I’m getting quite used to FC10 championing being rather selective when it ones to reality.
So am I wrong? Does it indeed render whilst you work. Or is it faux and more marketing nonsense that is being pushed into the realm of urban myth?
