Yes 🙂
Honestly, I already feel like i’ve added 2 years and 3 months onto my life by simply making that decision. It’s a beautiful thing.

Dear lord.
I get it now. Information access not story telling. Using SEARCH functions not narrative telling aptitude. Of course, all end users want to see beautifully ordered databases and don’t care about the edit.
Sorry, you’ve intellectualised this to a point where it is utter pish mate. Organising data can aid and benefit in an edit. But it is utterly illogical to think that it is more important than the edit. Than the process of juxtaposing footage into a coherent and engaging video.
Dude, mess around with your metadata all you want. Organise until the cows come home. Unless you can cut something of value to the end user who gives a shit? Apart from you, of course.
I can’t believe your acolyte like obsession with FC10 is simply based on your penchant for lists. OCD much :)?
Ok, we’re done talking now. As in I will avoid you because after that last reply i think you’re spouting intellectualised nonsense and I now know you have absolutely nothing of value to ever add to my life. It’s like talking to a scientologist.
Oh, and Navel fluff = self absorbtion. That you took it to a homoerotic place and it ‘creeped you out’… well, to be honest mate that doesn’t surprise me because i think you’re a bit of a nob… though that will probably send you into convulsions of closeted delight/confusion.
Bye Billiam.
Love and kisses Julie poolie woolie

oh, swansong:
“I suspect you’re stuck in thinking that “editing” is the important game here. But I think less and less so. ”
lmao. sorry. LMAO.

That was a thoroughly enjoyable and well articulated read. It should be a full stop at the end of the Debate, but sadly it won’t be. Anyway, cheers Scott.

Ok, I read your post twice.
Firstly you say i’m wrong at the top (the headline) then admit i may be right at the bottom (where people have usually stopped reading).
Secondly although it is sad that people are earning less in these facilities and that these facilities may even be reducing in numbers, I believe that most major film and TV is done in the kind of post houses I was talking about, will continue to be done in said post houses and they will continue to use Avid as a main EDL etc.,… which does kind of make my initial point seem right.
So am I wrong? Or am I right but you have an addendum to add?
-
Probably the same. But the blood pressure levels of those posting and reading would be reduced and we’d run less risk of causing damage to our eyes through constant rolling of them.

“If you can’t see the shifting of the editing industry, I can’t help you. If you think some vaunted “high end” skill set is enough to prosper in the world where there are millions of new people taking up editing every year – where there once was thousands – again, I can’t help you.”
So, dear Billiam, what exactly is this shifting of the editing industry then? And I mean spell it out, not airy sweeping statements based on your perceptions such as ‘independents leveraging the power of the internet through digital media and an increased flexibility of a trackless paradigm in tune with the social and political evolution of moving image as a viable commercial entity in a high octane capitalist environment that demands delivery yesterday and results right now’: but actually factual proof that my “high end” skill set is not enough for me to continue to make the perfectly acceptable living I have been doing so for 10 years.
Are you suggesting that my business is under threat because ‘millions of new people’ [*notation please, sounds like an airy sweeping statement based upon your perceptions rather than fact] are starting to use FC10? Because that is how that comment came across. I may be wrong, but it sounds to me like you are privy to the shifting of the dynamic of professional filmmaking and I am not and because I insist on wanting tracks on my timeline and a project to be called a project some whippersnapper with a macbook pro and FC10 is going to steal away my clients.
Last time I checked, most major film and TV was done in post houses which will continue, for a rather long tired time dear Billiam, to use Avid first and FCP7 second (with I believe we will see a shift of that section to Adobe over the next couple of years), so can’t see a shift there. And then all the independents will use what they want. Some will want to embrace the work-around-athon of FC10. Others will shift to Adobe. Others still will use other platforms. All of which, again, doesn’t really suggest any sort of shift or threat to my prosperity in what I do.
So what is it mate? What is this shift I cannot see? Is it the internet Bill? The same one i’ve been delivering via for the last 10 years? Or is it digital media bill, rather than tape? The same shift I seemlessly embraced whilst eating my crunchie nut cornflakes? Or is it that someone can enter the market, Bill, with a 13″ macbook, FC10 and an iPhone 4s Bill, and as such because I still use tracks on an EDL over 4 years old all my clients are going to flock to them because they’re, y’know, cool dude?
Or is this shift something else Bill? What is it. Pray tell. Enlighten. Illuminate (*Factually please. Thanks in advance)
You are still throwing around this – YOU WILL FAIL BECAUSE YOU CANNOT EVOLVE – schtick and it is nonsense dear Billiam. To be honest mate I could ditch FCP7 and pick up Pinnacle Studio and I will still succeed. Why? Because I can frame a shot, I am good with people and I can cut a story. I won’t use Pinnacle Studio because currently FCP7 is much better. And I will move to PP CS6 soon enough. I doubt I will ever use FC10 because everything I have read about it suggests to me what you may gain in some areas is completely outweighed by what you lose in others. Plus it doesn’t have tracks.
And guess what, dear Billiam, my business will not suffer a jot because of my choice, laid out above. So you don’t even need to help me. Something which, I may add, pleases me no end.
If you STOPPED with your nonsense about FC10 HATERS BEING UNABLE TO EVOLVE AND GRASP THE SHIFTING PARADIGM OF THE INDUSTRY b*ll*cks, you may actually start feeling a little warmth towards your admittedly somewhat blinkered fundamentalist view of FC10. people may actually go, ‘well that bill fella he has found a use for it so maybe it isn’t as shite as we think. But no mate, you have no sense of anything other than your own navel fluff, and that is why you are so irritating to so many.

So let me get this. I can mark an in point on a clip and drag it to the timeline to see if it works and then I can quickly click on another clip and mark an in point and drag that to the timeline and decide I liked the first one did click back on the first clip because I preferred that and the marked in point I made ten seconds ago is still there for me to drag it to the timeline?
Well that’s great because I thought I would have to create a favourite of that first in point which would then get stored in a favourites section despite it not really being a favourite because I didn’t even know if I liked it when I created it and needed to make it a favourite and then when I wanted to use it instead of just going back to the clip I Had just clicked on I would have to find the favourite I wanted amongst the other favourites that had been collated over the entirety of a long edit with many decisions and choices being tried and mulled over, which would just be stupid compared to the in point simply being still there after I clicked one other clip to have a look.
And who exactly were you making that point crystal clear to? I have posted enough times I stopped trying 10 when the auto save failed to do anything of the sort. Still, doesn’t stop my opinions on it, its paradigm and you being valid mate. Last time I checked I – DID – NOT – KNOW – HOW – TO – BUILD – AN- ATOMIC – BOMB and yet I still think they are stupid, disgusting and those that even consider using one are the lowest form of pond life despite them once being a new paradigm of warfare.
That point not valid Bill?

[Jules bowman] “You can patronise us all you want about wearing flares”
Stop spinning.
I’m “patronizing” nobody with a thick enough skin to be called an adult.
I’m espousing a point of view. I give reasons for my thinking here all the time. You’re free to disagree all you like. But you’re not free to determine my tone when you can’t seem to “hear” it accurately.
If I was the lone voice then you may have a point but for a year you’ve been doing so and for a year many have asked you to stop it and for a year you haven’t even the self awareness to realise you are doing it it seems? Why do you think I troll your posts? You think I have nothing to do in my life? Or maybe it is because you have consistently been an arrogant patronising condascending pompous man with your perceptions of and comments about FC10 and those that have made disparaging remarks about it? You still bang on about those left behind by the advancement often editing paradigm and how those are struggling with this evolution, among many other comments. Do you not see the insult and pompousness of that comment alone? If you don’t Bill, then I would move on from forum posting and perhaps embark in some self awareness programme.
At no point have you called us adults bill. You have called us many other things though mate. And the irony of you starting the post with stop spinning will not be lost on the majority.
Stop it Bill, you are making a fool of yourself even if you are incapable of seeing it, and no, I will not be the only person to think this.

“You do realize that there are some of us who are using it daily that firmly believe that FCP-X is the absolutely best thing to happen to video editing in decades, right?”
The empreror is naked. You can patronise us all you want about wearing flares, but at least they area made of material. Plus the you can put a pound in the pocket and it is still there when you go back for it.

Is the answer to your question not in the name of the forum?
