FCPX still doesn’t get basic editing right so it shouldn’t be included in this discussion at all but yes, you cannot work without the mouse in any current NLE. And that’s a shame.

How do you navigate your bins with keyboard shortcuts?

Because it still doesn’t know how to use your screen real estate efficiently? The thing is ugly and it’s ugliness actually gets in your way. When you clean it up to look halfway decent it stops working because “Avid is keyboard–centered NLE” is outright lie. You can’t work without desperately clinging onto your mouse all the time.

My point was it is a war of attrition and it isn’t immediately clear who can sustain it better, old farts or iPhone kids.

There is usually an additional crop in a theater – a piece of steel in the projector optical path with a keystone-shaped hole in it. Its shape is different for every theater and depends on the actual placement of the projector. So you should observe safe are for theatrical release as much as for broadcast.
By the way Flat is 1.85:1. It was there long before 16:9 which is 1.78:1 so DCI favoring flat over 16:9 is no surprise.

It seems to work now.

[Michael Gissing] “The big thing is can Resolve 12 handle outputting meaningful audio for post.”
There is Export to ProTools menu item in R12. We’ll see how well it works.

I didn’t want to argue with your main point. It’s the details that sounded wrong to me. FCP could work with any hardware using QuickTime IO. If it didn’t work, then the problem was with the drivers, not FCP most of the times. If the list was short that’s because the list of IO cards for Mac was short. Still, Targa, Igniter and Digital Voodoo cards were there.

I’m sorry, Tim. FCP never was a FireWire only NLE. FCP was hardware agnostic from the beginning. It was even possible to use Media100 hardware with FCP. As for FCP with TargaCiné — it was a complete disaster until FCP v.4.5. Pinnacle kept screwing up the drivers royally and blaming it on Apple. FCP v.4 being buggy didn’t help too. You should remember that the first thing Blackmagic Design did was offering all hardware manufacturers to write drivers for their iron because those manufacturers proved they cannot do it themselves. Grant made a lot of friends with that announcment.
