I think this is a great workflow option for CC customers. CS6 are still not able to slip edit, roll edit, etc subclips. A warning reads, “When subclips are used in a sequence, shifting the subclip Start/End is restricted to prevent frames from being eliminated in the sequence.” I guess you could stack them in an infinite game of track tetris…

It’s a bummer. Same thing with subclipping via Prelude CS6. And I have sent a few requests on line, and mentioned it to Dennis and Kevin, here or there on Cow. We are expecting an update soon.

Actually I feel that it’s an important topic and bit off topic for the X or not debate forum, but … https://www.isr.umich.edu/home/diversity/resources/white-privilege.pdf

[Franz Bieberkopf] “they are perpetuating vagaries in the “3:2 pulldown” language”

Where are the vagaries originating? We can agree it isn’t reality itself, right; it just is. So in some way SMPTE and lurker (one of the QuickTime developers before AVFoundation) had to make decisions. It’s always bothered me that Legacy reports 23.98 when 24M should be 23.976 as AE and PP and X do (don’t know Avid; we broke up in 2003). I don’t know if they are calculating 23.976 and rounding up on the browser display, or if it really is 23.98 having rounded up somewhere else. What say ye?

[Franz Bieberkopf] “I lament the state of the language.”

These are cool website, for programmers making an NLE and not so much for editors, but they are still pretty cool:

I think this gives us a glimpse of what conform means and why programmers use that term. I found “interleaving” to be particularly interesting, where video (YUV) and graphics (RGB) mingle for programmers.

[Bill Davis] “the art director supplies”

What app are you using to turn illustrator art into {whatever you need} & what is that you need, for you X-flow?

Thanks!

[tony west] “I’m constantly dragging clips below the timeline and muting them in case I want to use them later (they don’t move along with it though).”

Good idea! Thanks!

[Bill Davis] “nothing in this scenario requires more than X”

Will you be using a company logo? What format will that be in?

I am now stealing Walter S’s argument that .aep should be an open source format like .psd. (Note, I may have changed the terms by accident.)

I missed the “separated by oceans part.” D’OH. Agree that I think Chomsky’s nativism explains it well.

The new concepts in X (or any domain even if they are retreaded) is that the concepts can only be acquired via ostensible learning because the words describing the user interface/experience are changed, and, therefore, the new user to X does not have a background in the meaning; and hence, the meaning cannot be transferred via concept-to-concept — leaving ostensible concept acquisition only. That’s a fancy way of saying “You gotta use it to get it.”

For example, Charlie (and some others) have spent a lot of time in this thread explaining how to use X in X’s terms. I understand exactly what they mean, but that is because I had previously spent a lot of time using X, reading the manual, and teaching X, so I am familiar (ostensively!) with both the interface experience and the terminology.

I am also not claiming that X is earth shattering so throw away Premiere and Avid. Simply, I’m stating that the new concepts in editing that X presents can only be acquired ostensively. Moreover, this is why young kids new to editing have no problems learning X. They just jump in blind — a de facto Blank Slate* of ostensibility.

*I don’t actually believe in the tabula rosa as I understand (perhaps faulty) the Empiricists’ described it. I use the term as a way to reach back to a potential, almost nirvana, freedom of/from concepts. In reality, I think Vygotsky offers better practical explanations for the teaching of concept acquisition.
