Good to hear – though I think their pro version is way too expensive for me.

I also went to the FCPWORKS demo at the Wynn – it was a pretty expensive suite for sure but cheaper than the show floor I suppose. Their demo’s were impressive if you have time to set up a metadata centric workflow – I wish them the best – it’s a gutsy move to create a FCPX only company right now in LA.
They were also showing Resolve and I could see that becoming a big part of their business should the new editing features pan out…
I concur with Oliver – NAB is not just for broadcasters at all – anyone involved in any area of media production will find NAB useful and a great time.

My own week at NAB, including a couple of super busy days in the AJA booth, confirm Bob’s observation. While the occasional 1-person-shop Editor may have been using FCPX, not a single facility person I talked with was using or interested in FCPX – it was 90% Adobe CC with Avid and FCP7 making up the difference. And the FCPX7 folks were all talking about the switch to CC.
The only other “NLE” getting any buzz at all was Resolve 11, which I can’t wait to try out…

OpenFX is multi-platform, FXPlug is Mac only – Resolve is multi-platform and its performance is based on the power of your hardware and not the OS.
At NAB BMD had GenArts Sapphire running inside Resolve. OpenFX has a much higher-end base than FXPlug – Assimilate, Autodesk, Digieffects, FilmLight, Sony, The Foundry, Genarts and RE:Vision FX all use OpenFX…

Totally disagree – Media Composer has been going pretty strong now for 25 years and most of the Avid veterans still cut with it – many exclusively. FCP as a brand has been going for 15 years now, Premiere even longer, same with Vegas. Apps change or evolve, and either get better or fade away. Kids cutting today on X or whatever will most likely continue to use whatever they started with and grow with it, especially because it’s from Apple.
Resolve is different than any other NLE launch, it already has a serious pedigree as the color tool of choice on some of the biggest movies of all time. So tell a kid he can use the same tool they used on their favorite blockbuster, FOR FREE, and now not only learn to edit but learn to color and finish their work at a high level and that becomes very compelling. None of this matters if editing in Resolve totally sucks, but based on what I’ve seen it may actually be the NLE many of us have dreamed about…

We’ll have to see how fast and stable it is in the real world but I was blown away getting a demo at NAB – true no multi-cam for ow but that doesn’t effect me – I really loved everything about it. It does have an audio mixer and audio key framing so decent audio tools. Obviously BMD isn’t gonna release this and rest, they have a lot planned for the app…

You cannot compare Resolve 10 with 11. 11 is definitely a FULL-FEATURED NLE – asymmetrical trimming and an audio mixer? Where are those in FCPX? From my demo at NAB it has everything just about anyone could need to edit most types of shows – no multi cam yet but BMD obviously has future plans. Hope it’s stable when released…

After seeing the new editing functions in DaVinci 11 and if it is not chock full o’ bugs, there may be need for a Resolve DaVinci or Not: The Debate forum very soon. It’s by far the most impressive NLE debut ever. It’s what most of us wished FCPX was…

Lol… you said it, not me!
By the way, it was a pleasure meeting you at the AJA booth Oliver.
