I’ve done these easily in FCPX – just using a 5.1 project and making certain all my roles and audio properties are correct – i.e Dialog set to Center Channel etc. and used the Apple TV 1080p Share with 5.1 – works perfect via Airplay to Apple TV!

I imagine close to 100% of the attendee’s of this convention already own and use some version of Photoshop. If they have version prior to CC and haven’t yet upgraded, Adobe has all the revenue they’re ever gonna see from them… ever. But if they get a chance to use CC for free and end up liking it and re-upping once the trial has expired, Adobe once again has revenue from a prior customer.
My first copy of Photoshop 3 for Mac came “free” with my $600 scanner back in the 90’s – I paid for upgrades to that version all the way to CS4. This is all Adobe is trying to do with this “free” trial, keep their customers, especially those who may be hesitant with the new CC subscription model.

Hope it helps – can’t export to Media Encoder…

I completely “get” Roles, but after a couple of years of using FCPX and recently cutting a couple of shows in Premiere Pro CC, I couldn’t believe how nice it was to have a super fast 64 bit FCP Classic style of NLE to work in. Bins, multiple sequences, TRACKS, it really is the best way to do a show.
If you want to round trip shows with FCPX and Logic X, which is what I’d like to do, then Roles will become a temporary “workaround” to get audio into final mix in an orderly fashion. I think that’s extra work and thus “stupid”.
Try sending your show from Premiere CC to Audition CC – you’re show goes to final mix exactly how you had it layed out in the edit. This is the way work should be because if I die or get fired or move to another show the next Editor can just glance at my timeline and see how it’s organized. The Editor doesn’t have to go looking and hope that i used Roles properly…

Well without tracks FCPX will NEVER become a main stream editing program. Look how nice the tracks look in Logic, how could that be a bad thing? Apple was wrong on thinking Roles would work – they’re just plain stupid and actually more work than tracks and busses.

Not sure if you’ve worked with stacked tracks before, they’ve been around a long time in apps like Nuendo, Sony Vegas and Sony Acid. Normally called Container Tracks – I usually create a separate container (stack) for Dialog, FX and Music and route each of them to their own buss. Inside each stack I have multiple tracks for each purpose – sometimes 24 or more for FX.
The purpose is to keep an uncluttered workspace while sound designing etc by collapsing tracks you’re not working at that time. I’m just not sure how Roles would work in this scenario? Sadly all the work to create Roles is going to change when you send the project from FCPX to Logic for finishing. I think once it’s in Logic it will be apparent how wonderful tracks are and how silly Roles are. I’m hoping this is a sign that tracks are coming back to FCP…

Looks very nice. Now if they can just put tracks and stack tracks into FCPX you’d have a killer duo!

Yeah that ship has sailed, maybe GoPro will buy Adobe lol. I know the Cineform guys really enjoy being part of the GoPro family though, seems like a great company to work for.

Popular but not the best… Cineform still FAR better than either Pro Res or DNxHD.
Just played a bit with Edius 7 trial – WOW! Silky smooth playback and scrubbing like it’s hardware driven. Not sure how I feel about it overall but it looks and feels very pro and very capable.

It’s so intermittent I can’t really get out a bug report – it doesn’t crash the app it’s just annoying. Could be user error too…
