Yes, that would certainly work… hmm… Well, I have to think about, because going upward is not the issue, going downward is more the issue.
I just hope they hurry upgrading their SAN system Yosemite.

Oh right, well that looks very good.
Now another thing, if you don’t mind. Would that work moving back and forth between 10.1.4 and 10.2.1?
Sounds maybe like a silly question but I’m doing a series where we partly edit in my own editing suite and one at the broadcaster. And we do move back and forth (part of the reason why I can’t just upgrade like that)… Or would I be making it very hard for me that way?

How constructive of you. You’re really the go-to-guy if I want to know how to do stuff in FCPX.

Well, I have to go on what editors tell me here. They said that in 10.1.4 you could make fcpxml’s, but it would just be very basic data. You know, you switch of audio channels in particular clips in the timeline/project (I often get XD-CAM stuff unwrapped to an HD422 Quicktime with all four channels duplicated), I often fade music in, or lower their levels. It just the kind of stuff you do as I work along, sort of premixing for viewings. So it would be helpful if the project in 10.1.4 would look exactly like the one you make in 10.2.1. Because otherwise, you’d have to do all that work again.

Maybe I should use the Tactic of Condescending Attitude like some people have been directing at me… I guess that is the better way to have a conversation. I don’t I have to take any behaviour.
It’s just software that I and you all trying to make a living with. It’s not some damn religion…

Troll tactic… ha!
Some of you have been quite condescending in a thread called “FCPX or Not”. You don’t like the lesser points of FCPX. Everything I address (and have addressed in the past about previous version (like the pre-Library Events and Projects system) is always answered by “get the new version, everything has been resolved”…
Within four weeks after 10.2 was released, there was the first update. FCPX is an NLE in development. I think we can all agree on that. No version is perfect!
-
Oh so it isn’t perfect.
I find it somewhat discouraging you seem to have no understanding of the fact that I work with clients that don’t make the upgrade. You could also say: “yeah, those are issues in 10.1.4. 10.2 has many of them solved.Would be great of you could upgrade”. I mean…come on… 10.2 has only been out for SIX WEEKS…and has already had its first upgrade… You know… even 10.2 had issues that had to be fixed within days.
And personnally I thin the “newest NLE out there” is a weak argument. Apple’s had years and YEARS of experience with an NLE: FCP1-7…. What I find odd that they seem to be reinventing themselves entirely (and slowly but surely they’re putting a lot of the old version back…)

Normally I don’t have to make them. We do the final stuff at the broadcaster who makes the broadcast master (MXF). But working in AVID I can make them in my own editing set. Sometimes it’s just faster that way, just upload them to an ftp server. So it’s not a real issue, I just find it odd. (Because FCP7 could…and can. 😉 )
So tell me, this is something I’d really like to know: you can actually make fcpxml’s in FCPX 10.2.1 that WORK in FCPX 10.1.4? Including all the audio data, audio selection, audio levels, fx etc. in tact? Because if that is the case, I’m going to upgrade this week.
One thing that I am very excited about about the latest update is the fact that it uses GPU power for rendering. Something I have been looking forward to for ages in any NLE. So if it were up to me, I’d upgrade six weeks ago. But I don’t want to do all kinds of tricks and stuff in my spare time to make it downward compatible.
There’s an editing facility house that has three of four versions of FCPX running on their systems, because some of their client runs various older versions. And upgrading from 10.0.9 (yes, some companies still work with that old thing) is apparanly quite hard. But that also causes issues, having the various systems running….
-
You don’t have to respond. But hey…let’s be honest here. 10.2 has only been out for SIX WEEKS!!! It’s not like that’s the one that has always been around.
So I guess 10.2.1, the current version, is the PERFECT NLE… all debates can now be closed. I’ll download it today! Perfection has been achieved. NLE heaven is here. Close down all the rest.

Why are so aggressive about it? Did you give birth to FCPX or something?
Tell me then how to make an MXF broadcast mate from FCPX? I said ‘my country’ because i have no idea how it works in other countries. I think having MXF masters a little outdated.Yet a lot of camera’s work with it, so it’s not a totally alien choice.
And my point remains: why did FCP5/6/7 and why do AVID and Premiereall these export possibilities IN the programme and FCPX not? You still haven’t answered that. Wouldn’t you LIKE to have these sharing possibilities that you can just select codec, size, bit rate etc etc? Would that be such a nasty option to have? It used to be quite natural.
But fine. Since you’re the expert, explain to me the basics of FCPX Mediamanagement? Because I’d really like to learn.
