Feature film editing is relatively obscure corner of the industry. Few people know what exactly in an NLE is for feature film.

It reads track names in BWF-Poly files and convert them to subroles.

Cool. FCP7 can do change lists.

[Oliver Peters] “Sync-N-Link X isn’t essential, but speeds up syncing of double-system audio jobs, however, only if camera and sound have common TC”
Sync-N-Link X is essential if you wan’t to give your sound department each lav mic on its own track which is something they expect you to do.

I cut a few in FCP. All I needed was Cinema Tools to make cut lists. As for Sync-N-Link X, it is to make FCPX to use track names in BWF–poly as subroles.

I was at LAFCPUG presentation. Having seen that I wouldn’t even think about starting a feature film in FCPX without Sync-n-Link and a bunch of other apps.

[Bill Davis] “All I’m saying is that the problems you fix with any of the above techniques are real and important. But they might not be the MOST important problems you’ll be solving in the future. “
If you reduce editing to which shot comes after which the tools you listed are irrelevant. If editing is still about what happens exactly when those tools are indispensable. That’s why editors keep asking for them. Ranges vs In-Out is in the same spirit. There are dozens of uses for In and Out points in everyday editing work ranges simply can’t be used for. As for Replace on Playhead it is different. There are two or three “Replaces” in FCP X and none is remotely useful in real editing situation. That’s not “this app is designed for different style of editing”. This is “this app is designed by someone who never edited even his vacation video”.

[Charlie Austin] “I really think that if people spent time actually working in X, they’d be just as fast as they are in anything else.”
Did they put Replace on Playhead into one of the updates? If they did I might consider spending time learning it.

The 21:9 ones? How is the ergonomics?

[Tim Wilson] “”Okay, I’ve been using Legend, and X isn’t for me, so I’m going to Media Composer or Premiere,” and who THEN says, “Wow, I thought that that was going to work a lot better than it did. Turns out I didn’t like this other thing much at all, so I’m going to go to X after all.””
This happens to me repeatedly. Except I go back to the Legacy. And I did try FCPX several times.
