    [Michael Gissing] “I always wonder why film makers don’t get a doco camera person to film so called reality scenes.”

    I suspect that was by design in order to make the difference between the two realities that much more striking.

    [Michael Gissing] “Also modern telecines don’t have that much weave.”

    Hmm… I didn’t see any more weave in the 16mm than I’ve seen in order 16mm material. That was scanned by Co3 in NYC after first being scanned with the wrong color profile in London. The photo of the DP shows him holding an Aaton, but I don’t know if that was specifically from this shoot or just a generic image.

    Remember that when you add captions, you aren’t simply adding text to the timeline that is then converted into captioning upon output. Closed captioning is a separate data track in the file (or as a separate file). When you import one format or another, it retains the attributes and limitations of that format inside of FCPX or any other NLE. This affects embedding, too.

    [Ken Bennett] “Should I try again using the .CSS file?”

    I would recommend that you convert the SRT into SCC. There is App Store software which can do this. Or there are some other resources. I use Closed Caption Converter. Then import that into FCPX. This has the additional advantage that it enables more of the FCPX caption formatting options.

    [Ken Bennett] “There is no embed SRT into the MOV video file. What am I missing here?”

    You can embed captions on export. You may have to convert the SRT into SCC before importing into FCPX. I presume you are trying to build the captions into an FCPX timeline. Staring by importing an existing caption file. Correct?

    [David Lawrence] “I just wrapped two big 360 VR projects that were shot in 7K stereo.”

    Cool. David, what app(s) were you using to edit and composite these?

    Frame IO is ramping up their marketing blitz on this with a series of informational tutorials. I’m not sure this applies much to the way many of us currently work; however, it’s definitely something to be aware of. His described workflow is more applicable to film studio productions. But, these and other scenarios will get increasingly bigger pushes in the foreseeable future in our business.

    Here are the first two videos in a series. Intro and Ep 1.

    [greg janza] “For those that collaborate with colorists, motion graphics artists and others on projects, it’s possible to use up 250 gigs very quickly.”

    None of these services is currently at a place where the workplace or price makes any sense if you want to move a large amount of native, full-res media through them. They are R&A sites that can also function to move proxy files. Or a short ProRes, DNx master, submaster, etc. That’s the biggest stumbling block right now. Someone still has to go into the office and it’s easier/faster/cheaper to ship drives.

    [Tim Wilson] “And we’re still not at the point where very many people are universally recommending it. That wasn’t the case with Mojave, or really any recent release I can recall.”

    I completely agree there. My only quibble was with an OS’s speed, independent of how one app interacts better or worse with it. I’m just not sure how one defines that.

    [Tim Wilson] “I’d like to ask the class, what would you like to see Apple do to better enable remote workflows?”

    Right now, the simplest answer is multi-editor/multi-seat collaboration within FCPX. Even Pages has a silly little “Collaborate” tab at the top. ☺ But not via iCloud for goodness sake!

    However, in the context of this specific conversation, the current need, and the comparison to HP… It would be great if within the OS – without any special app – I could directly operate a remote Mac as if I would running a machine right next to me. And with little or no latency. In an ideal world, I *should* be able to run a full-blown Mac Pro across the country, simply by using an iPad Pro.
