Easy to get personal when you’re thousands of miles away via the web. Why don’t you stop wasting so much time bitching here and go take a design class or 2 you hack.

I didn’t even bring up the sync thing – someone else did. Premiere blows chucks – always has, whether it always will doesn’t matter to me – I’ll never know.
How you guys can deduce that I think FCPX is perfect and has all the answers is just insane – apparently there’s a lot stronger stuff than good ‘ole Merlot going ’round.

Yeah totally concur – sometimes I feel the only reason tape delivery still exists is because guys who are still running G5’s refuse to give it up. I’ve delivered my last feature (90min.) via FTP in both HD and SD to various buyers as far away as Finland days quicker than courier. When FTP doesn’t work we send a Pro RES file along with stems and key art on a USB drive – we will not send tape unless the client pays for it – amazing how many will give in and take a drive instead of paying hundreds for an SR.

Hilarious – you just proved my point – the idiotic way you have to noodle around to find sync. I stand by my statement – it’s garbage and has no business being in the same suite as Photoshop and After effects.
Why should anyone have to “dig deep” to find things that are plane as day in Vegas, FCP7 or Avid.? And yes I do miss sync indicators in FCPX and hope they’re added soon. I also assume Premiere will have them soon as it’s hard to call a NLE “pro” without pro features. Sync indicators aside, the list of missing and poorly thought features in Premiere is endless and not worth any more of my time – years of being a beta tester proved to me how inept the Premiere team is – I had hoped 6 would be better but it’s not even close…

I was trying to be nice saying I didn’t understand it fully. I was an Adobe beta tester from 1.5 through CS3 and it was one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve ever had. I’m a 20 year Photoshop and Illustrator pro and have used After Effects and Premiere since 1998. I’m one of the most open minded Editors you’ll ever meet and have used just about every NLE out there from Edius to Vegas to Avid (including myriad of versions of Media Composer and DS), FCP since version 1 and Premiere for payed work that ranges from low budget docs to $60 million Hollywood features. I’ve been editing since 1986 when I started cutting 16mm via flatbed and I’ve been a forum leader here on the Cow for 11 years and though I’m an opinionated bastard I can back it up with decades of pretty decent work.
There isn’t a single thing, not one. that Premiere does as well or better than FCPX 10.07. It’s garbage as far as I’m concerned and I’ll never use it again – to attempt to “master it” would be a colossal waste of time. I will continue to use the rest of the Adobe Suite via the Cloud subscription and highly recommend it to others.
As far as your jazz analogy – I’ve played guitar since I was 10 and love all forms of music – not just jazz – so shut your Phrygian pie hole you elitist prick.

Sounds like you’re in love. So there’s no need for you to be hanging out here anymore. Go sell crazy someplace else.
