[Bill Davis] “he development of tremendous numbers of content streams outside broadcast that are succeeding in building their own niche audiences – combined with a robust business model (YouTube, et al) that allows them to find and mine that audience for revenue IS pretty new.”

Bill, what do you mean by “new”? Many of my clients have had their own YouTube channel for years, even the White House has had one since 2009.

[Bill Davis] “Since my point seemed to escape some – I didn’t post this as a “look at how brilliant these ideas are” deal. I posted it because I’m interested in, and trying to track a bit about what video is “becoming” on the web.”

Video on the internet isn’t becoming anything. The internet has always been a repository for everything good, bad, indifferent or illegal. All content is there from skateboarding dogs and the latest Hollywood movies to dwarf pole-dancers and annoying, self-gratifying commentators like the one you posted.

[Daniel McClintock] “A result of this may be a population implosion.”

The reverse will be true. It’s the professional classes that don’t have kids and if you haven’t got a job, what are you going to do all day?

I gave up and started using Adobe Media Encoder. Then last month, I changed my system hard drive and reloaded all of the software including the operating system and bingo, it was back up and running.

[Mark Dobson] “If you say F**k it writes Flock.”

I said that quite a lot last time I tried FCPX.

LOL. I see that the newest Mad Max vehicle is coming out next year, though its been de-Gibsoned. Bane is now Mad Max.
“

Yes, I saw that too. I guess if Mel Gibson was still involved they’d have to rename it Drunk, Angry and Mad Max.

Do you, by any chance, mean George Miller? “

[Will Hodgson] “What we have lost is our collective experience. 13 years of insights and experiments, battle hardened in real world scenarios around the world.”

I started editing film on Steenbecks and Moviolas in 1985. I’ve learnt and forgotten more systems and workflows than Paris Hilton has had boyfriends. It’s just the way things are.

A representative sample of my recent projects out of FCP-X would be…

– Broadcast HD Commercials (with SD down convert for cable) to SoCal NBC, CBS and Cox affiliates.
– Corporate Powerpoint presentations combined with narrated video embeds produced in my studio using X then deployed to the web for access by nationwide sales teams numbering in the hundreds.
– Multiple “re-branding campaign” Internal corporate videos for a huge national health care payments processing company.
– A 16 minute training video on “safe chemical handling” for the country’s largest national pool supplies retail chain.

– Plus, of course, my current personal obsession, the 14-camera “performance video” I self-funded working with a local Jazz education “not-for-profit” – to try to explore the limits of the multi-cam capabilities of FCP-X. (1st rough cut done as of late last night! – yippee!)

I think I’m up to about 50 paid FCP-X projects at this point. In a variety of complexities and different types.

Are you interested in some particular aspect of my work that I can answer questions about?”

Thanks for your reply Bill. I’ve just been trying to gauge what those of you who are using on a FCPX daily basis are actually cutting with it. Nice to see you have a broad range of jobs there.
