[Steve Connor] “Interesting opinion, many of us will disagree with you.”
Yes, and many will agree with me.
There’s still much I do like about X and I’ll continue to use it for quick, simple edits. I’d like to know how some of you cope with the disappearing in and out marks? That drives me mad…

[Bill Davis] “So I’n truly curious. What doesn’t X do that you MUST do?”
It’s not necessarily what X doesn’t do, it’s what X doesn’t do well.
The timeline isn’t designed with complex editing in mind. The file structure and media management aren’t designed with a busy editor or facility in mind. And the trackless timeline, with its roles/stems, connected clips and storylines… …well, that’s all simply mindless…
Among other things, I find “Events” and “Projects” ill-conceived, and whilst I know there are workarounds, I’m not convinced FCPX is designed with editing in mind. I’m sure FCPX looked good on Randy’s powerpoint presentation though.

[alban egger] “So far the updates of FCPX were not at all tryingto patch a broken product but they simply brought new features. The RE-LINK wash´t broken, it wasn´t even there. Broadcast monitoring was missing
“
The point is, those features should have been there from the start. Apple said it was a PRO tool, it wasn’t. We were told our jaws would drop, they didn’t.A year later Apple are busy playing catch-up; adding features to FCPX that were basic functions of FCP. Though, it will take a whole lot more to rebuild the trust with their professional users they so catastrophically lost when they EOL’d FCP and replaced it with a pro/am product.
That said, I’ve always quite liked FCPX and keep checking it out with each new release in the vein hope they will sort out the glaring errors in its design.

[Bob Zelin] “I just saw the FS700. For someone that has forgotten all about Sony, and didn’t even go to the Sony both at NAB – WOW, this is an amazing camera – and if you compare it to products like the C300 – you start to say “why would I spend all that extra money”. the FS700 is a winner. “
By the time you factor in your vastly increased lighting budget for all that slow motion footage, the C300 with it’s superior colorimetry and dynamic range will seem like a snap.

[Robert Bracken] “I didn’t know that there were presets in the Color Correction window. I learn something new everyday.”
I can recommend both Lynda.com and Ripple training. Takes the pain out of learning new software.
As for the colour presets – they’re cute, but fairly basic.

Wrong tool for the job. You’re better off with the FS100 for that type of application.

You won’t get new Mac Pros until Intel’s new Ivy Bridge processors are released – pos last week of April.

[Brian Mulligan] “we enable you to tell your stories together with your friends. “
I’ve always held dear the principle that a camel is a horse designed by committee. Anyway, none of my friends can edit…

It looks fantastic. I hope they saved some of the awesome juice for new PP.

If nothing else, I do admire the customer focus
[Dennis Radeke] “We are working as hard as possible to make both a reality – time will tell if you are satisfied.
Best,
Dennis – Adobe guy
“One thing no one can fault is Adobe attitude, particular when communicating with its customers.
I’m looking forward to CS6 more than any product this year.
