The big still missing item for me is some sort of mixer. I’d even take just a mixer that showed all the roles – treat roles like busses so I could add say a compressor to each buss and control the level of everything with the same role. The other solution and one one I’m probably gonna try soon is just using Logic and finishing all my mixes there. I don’t own Logic yet but not happy with Audition so…

This is ridiculous! Now it’s a separate install? I have to re-intall ALL my plug-ins and half aren’t updated so they don’t work even after re-install!?! The program is more sluggish than ever and updating a project to new version is makes the project slow as molasses! And don’t get me started on the Windows version!
Oh wait… that was Adobe CC 2014 not FCPX, false alarm 🙂

Before you add any compression, I would get your levels close using each clips volume and a combination of Normalize. You really need to watch the meter and try to get all your dialog within a certain range, say -12 to -6db – don’t rely on your ears – watch the meter! You’ll drive yourself crazy without the meters 🙂

Sorry not buying it. Prime example was the Swiss today goal at min 69 that was waved off for offside – not only a useless rule but also a bad rule as the ball clearly ricocheted off the defender. This was also the perfect place for instant replay which would have clearly show the blown call. I agree more refs are needed, at least 2 on the field (pitch whatever). But even if the ball hadn’t touched the defender, in that situation with a ton of guys in front of the goal c’mon.
I’m also not buying the youth soccer “test”. I doubt the paid pro’s would be sitting back waiting to cherry pick a shot – but we’ll never know if it would be better or not until it’s tested at the highest level. And it’s not just about scoring more goals – North American’s are fine with low scores, even 1-0 scores as you’ll find in baseball and hockey, but most are not okay with 0-0 ties – no matter how good the goalies are that’s just lame.

You can kind of think of Smart Objects like pre-comps in AE. They can contain any number of layers etc and remain “live” and editable until rasterized. I use them a lot in graphic design – for instance when I do a credit block on a movie poster or DVD sleeve I normally create them as a Smart Object so I can re-size or change them without rasterizing and they appear as one layer in my project.

Yeah just like Australian Rules FOOTBALL – you know where you run with the “football” in your HANDS and pass and kick it similar to Rugby and American Football 🙂
I fully “get” Futbol – and I really like it – but I still hate some of the rules and I know the offside rule controversy will rage on all over the globe forever – it’s not just Americans who don’t like it.

You adjust answered why us ignorant folk will never fully get into soccer – tradition. Everyone’s afraid of a 12 to 9 score but for us lowly American’s this would be great.
Thankfully every other major sport played in the US gets looked at by committee and changes happen over time to make them better for the fans and participants. No one here wants to see a 0-0 game, even hockey fixed that. It’s about wins and losses – not points.
As far as the 150+ year old excuse about strikers hanging out by the goal – just keep them out of the penalty box – voila!

I agree that American sports are more willing to change and evolve over time to make things more exciting for the viewer – the 3 point line and 24 sec. clock in the NBA are prime examples. The NFL has changed radically over the decades and the days of leather helmets, laterals and sweeps.
I think for American’s, we’re used to seeing breakout plays where such as interceptions run back for touchdowns, stolen balls leading to slam dunks etc. None of this exists in soccer due to the ancient offside rule. I know, it’s tradition, but it’s really dumb. Could you imagine every time Blake Griffin was running a fast break he’d have to wait for a defender to get back before he could catch the ball and dunk it? The silly thing is there’s a full-time goalie! How can you penalize me on a breakaway when I know there’s always a goalie waiting to try and stop me?
The other insanely lame soccer rule is substitutions. Why can’t players come and go as needed like every other sport? Limiting the amount of subs makes no sense.
I’m thinking of running for world leader… I promise, if you vote for me, I’ll fix soccer and make sure all NLE’s have tracks and audio mixers!

NOT? Just reporting the facts. It shows up fine in FCPX as Pro Res – no optimization needed. Sorry you can’t believe that.
