I know this is an old thread, but you helped me figure something out on my EX1R, I was looking for how to do squeeze and crop, your answer was perfect for me.

Cheers!

Millions of folks saw Rebecca Black’s Friday video too. People love train wrecks.

Anyway, he has his audience, good on him. Final Cut Pro X was made for him and his friends 😉

Lucas,
I should clarify that I do not believe that FCPX is suddenly an asset management solution. Final Cut Pro X has added the iLife Event Library philosophy to the core of it’s media management, and while I’m not a fan of this for shared workspace shops and Enterprises where it should be living on a SAN rather than managed locally, it has robust keywording and sorting capability, and adds some neat image processing, such as breaking down shots through the “find people” analysis tool. Too bad this is marred by the puzzling form this release has taken, and I feel Apple is taking deserved criticism.

The fact that Rolf and the folks at Squarebox are monitoring this, and talking to Apple is encouraging. I would love to see, as Final Cut Pro X matures (frankly to what it should have been out of the door) with methods to plug in and exchange information with the true MAMs like CatDV is something I look forward to.

I’m not worried in the near term, because we have our CatDV investment, we have our stable Avid and FCP7 NLE’s that work well for us, and we’ll be ready when all the next gen tools are ready as well.

Good to hear, guys. I had wondered, with Final Cut Pro X’s MAM tools built in to the system what the game plan was with CatDV.

That’s great, the fourth wall has broken and collapsed in on itself 😉
