[Andrew Kimery] “Did you read the comments? People mention specific problems such as iZotope plugins”

To isotope’s credit, they had sent me an email already explaining how to get around this. They say they are working on a fix…

If that’s all it is, then yes I agree. I can live with that…

[Bret Williams] “The FCP X guys were probably working on El Capitan! “

LOL… I love a good chuckle.

Thanks for the info. I’ll be putting it on a system in a week. I’ll test the Pegasus R2 before and after as well. Since it hasn’t really created any issues with any other programs, I was mostly thinking it would come down to FCP X plugins. The timecode display is curious… not sure how the FCP X guys didn’t notice that, since everyone else seems to have?

[Rich Rubasch] “Might want to read this first….

It’s probably just me, but I didn’t find that article particularly useful. I do appreciate your posting it though. All information is worth considering.

First, he says wait for the next release… well its out already.

Second, he really gave no specifics as to any issues he’s found. I’m guessing it’s because he was a beta tester, under an NDA and doesn’t want to ruin the relationship? I can understand that.

We’re having no issues on any of the regular machines and see plenty of advantages. I haven’t installed it on any of the FCP X machines because they’re all in the middle of projects. One is about finished, which is why I created this post.

It appears that well just have to stop buying new machines and wireless input devices until it seems like FCP X has caught up to it?

[Dennis Radeke] “Give me one compelling reason to upgrade to it? (I know of one possible reason for some people)…
“

Well, for one… the current Apple wireless keyboard and wireless mouse require it.

Second, it’s a much more responsive OS. We have it on some non-FCP X machines and it’s notable.

Third, the cursor enlargement feature is handy for finding your cursor on multiple monitor systems, or very large monitors with darker interfaces like FCP X or Premiere.

Fourth, speed increases on disk arrays, as has been reported here.

Let’s face it, there are some serious under-the-hood changes here, and many companies like Microsoft have been a bit derelict in their duties in terms of taking it seriously. I’m surprised that as the Adobe guy that your team hasn’t embraced it. CC runs much quicker on a nMP with El Capitan. Even a MacBook Air runs better with it.

The surprising part for me is that the FCP X guys weren’t ready for this. I mean you guys are on the same team, right?

Had to recapture a few clips recently on a project. Ended up using FCP 7 which I keep on an older machine. I can’t speak for the companies, but I’m of the opinion that digital cards for capture effectively ended the need for it for most people. I do wonder about the million of tapes still in existence in archives. It’s not like we won’t ever need to bring that footage in with more accuracy than a crash capture…

Priceless Bill. You managed to completely miss my message.

If this video thing doesn’t work out for you, go to work for Apple in the marketing department. I’m sure they’ll appreciate your approach of chasing people to other products…

[Shane Ross] “THIS article and workflow is making me start to look at FCX. “

I’m not sorry I moved over… I just retain my right to be vocal about what’s still missing and what still needs fixed. Od course, every program is the same…
