This was an interesting phenomenon.
Before I even heard from Adobe about this release, a plugin manufacturer emailed me first warning me not to remove the old version, since there was a bug in the new release that disabled certain plugins Adobe had acknowledged it and was working on it. Haven’t seen that before…
Also, is it true that “remove all previous versions” is the default and that you have to go search for that setting so you can uncheck it before you install in order to avoid disappointment? If so, that’s lame…

Did they mention if they were using pirated copies?

[Bill Davis] “Mitch, had the exact same thing happen to me about 8 months ago. (Likely in X 10.1 back then?)
After that one occurance, it just went away. Haven’t seen it since.”Thanks Bill, at least I’m not losing my mind. It’s not a killer… just annoying. My real beef is how the audio waveforms frequently don’t redraw unless to zoom in or zoom out to force them to redraw. I’d really like that fixed…

[Noah Kadner] “I’ve been cutting tons of audio in 10.2.1 and haven’t seen that. “
Audio that’s separate from the audio that’s associated with the video clip?
[Noah Kadner] “Have you trashed prefs, redownloaded the app and cleared renders? That sort of stuff is generally cruft that is system cache specific.”
Unfortunately, I’m seeing it on another machine. I think it’s something Apple will have to address…

[Daniel McClintock] “Do you think the Mac Pro is finished, or do you see better times ahead for editing 5K and 8K video on the Mac Pro with this new system?”
I never had a computer that was too fast, so no…

[Jeremy Garchow] “It is quite obvious, Tom, that this software is not made for professional use.”
Sarcasm noted. It’s a good update, but as usual some issues.
1) Waveform update is a bit inconsistent. I often find I have to either zoom in or zoom out to force it to redraw.
2) Had the rare occasion of having to drop a whole series of JPEGs onto the timeline, as some of the GoPro footage was mistakingly shot as jpeg’s rather than MOV. This gave 10.2 quite a problem. On several occasions trying to bring in 1000 or so would result in FCP going into Not Responding mode. This is on a fully loaded 8-core nMP with 64GB of ram and a very fast disk array.
That’s a first for me, I’ve never been able to get X to hang. It’s completely repeatable. The good news is that I don’t plan on doing this other than this one time…

[Andrew Kimery] “Seeing this video made me think of Bill (and others, but mostly Bill) talking about how moving to X can be a struggle for experienced editors but at some point it just clicks and it’s smooth sailing from then on. Until, of course, you have to go back to another NLE and you struggle to reconnect those neural pathways again. “
Thought intriguing thread. One thing Bill was right about, is that people who have never used an NLE, pick up X pretty easily. People who have used other NLE’s tend to need more time. The theory is that us experienced NLE users somehow just don’t get it. I never bought into that, but I have been amazed that anytime we bring up a shortcoming of X, we’re the problem… we just don’t get it. Actually, we do. We have experience from other NLE’s so we know what else is possible. People who only ever used FCP and then FCP X have a more limited view of what could be possible IMO. That’s not a judgement, just an observation.
[Andrew Kimery] “One thing I wonder, and he doesn’t address it in the video, is if he alternated riding a normal bike and a backwards bike on a regular basis would he always go through a ‘re-learning’ stage or could riding both bikes become second nature?”
Good question. I just spent 10 days driving in Scotland on the other side of the road. Can I do it… yes. Am I as good at it as I am driving on the right side of the road… I’d say no. However, if you’ve watched British Top Gear, these three guys move back and forth seamlessly, since they do it on at least a monthly basis. In the case of an NLE, it may be more complicated, since there’s an entire philosophy or mindset involved, but if you only moved back and forth between two, I’d think in time that you could get comfortable…

[Steve Connor] “Although I think the numbers on the Touch aren’t so great either, it hasn’t been updated for a few years. Perhaps the launch of “Apple Beats” might see a new version of it.”
If it’s got more than 128GB, I shudder to think what it’ll cost…

[Steve Connor] “They weren’t selling, Apple stopped making them, every consumer goods Company in the world does this.”
There’s a couple of problems with your theory Steve. The first is that when Tim was asked that question, he said the opposite. The second one is that when some people, who apparently found out about the EOL, snapped up the 160GB models and started selling them on eBay and Amazon at quite a premium. Used ones were selling for more than they cost new. That doesn’t happen with product that “nobody wants”.
I think if you could have a beer with Tim, he’d tell you that they blew it. That they should have had a larger iPod touch ready before they gave up the Classic. If he was really honest, he’d tell you that an iPod Touch with that much storage would probably be too damn expensive, and that they flat should have kept the 160GB Classic…

Yep, you nailed it Herb. I bought a Classic, right before they pulled the plug. No, I’m not clairvoyant… I actually had no clue that they were killing it. It was simply my only choice at the time.
Like you my iTunes library is too big to fit on anything else Apple makes. Even the new (wasn’t around at the time) 128GB iPhone won’t hold it. I’m at 140GB and growing, so only a 160GB iPod Classic will hold it.
Nice move Apple. I’ve heard the rationalizations about HD’s being unavailable. Am I supposed to believe that a company that buys up entire runs of components for several years in advance, screwed up on this? BS!
Apple decided they didn’t care about the Classic. They did the Apple standard “like it or lump it approach”. We’re Apple and you’ll just accept whatever gruel we dish out. Besides, we want to force you to the cloud anyway.
Screw the cloud. It’s another solution in search of a problem. I’m traveling all over Scotland at the moment where internet is spotty as hell. If I depended on Spotify (no slight intended to them specifically) or anything else, I’d be screwed. Thank god I got a Classic before Tim Cook killed it.
To all those technology worshippers out there, I’ll just make a couple of comments. The USA spent $13 million developing a pen that would write in a zero gravity environment in space. It failed in some cases. The Russians gave their Cosmonauts pencils that worked 100% of the time. Sometimes a plain old fashioned hammer is faster than a pneumatic nailer. It’s just the nature of life. Technology isn’t the solution to everything… and neither is the cloud or Apple… especially under Tim Cook.
