[Oliver Peters] “The rating is for year-over-year growth. Yet, if you do a quick search in the US only, the total listings are actually 3X for Premiere Pro over FCPX. Worldwide, it’s 5X for Premiere Pro.”
Erm… you said it yourself, “The rating is for year-over-year growth“, in which case the present state of affairs is irrelevant, since this is pointing to the future.
That being an aside from me personally most certainly not seeing a 5:1(??!) ratio by any stretch either. Definitely not WORLDWIDE either way. So either that’s complete hyperbole or just very poorly researched.

The best thing you can do, is get proper training. In which case the number one place to go would be HERE:
https://www.rippletraining.com/product-category/motion-learning-path/After that, anything Motion related that MacBreak Studio (Ripple) has on Youtube as well.
But it’s really VERY simple. Apply the “Sequence Text” behavior to your text, add the Opacity parameter, and set up as follows:
Then all you have to do is keyframe the Custom Speed parameter as needed. Right-clicking the keyframes in the Keyframe Editor and setting their interpolation to CONSTANT will also be helpful, should a “popping on” of the words be what you’re looking for… which you haven’t said.

[Loren Risker] “but I’ve yet to go a month without needing Photoshop or illustrator.”
Well, those are what I personally have the Affinity apps for and am extremely happy for it. They really show what performance is and at the same time what horribly ancient code Adobe apps obviously run off of… never mind the “ransomware” aspect of it all. But to each his own.

[Loren Risker] “Until there’s truly a workflow that doesn’t involve painfully waiting for an Adobe app to launch”
What does that mean? That in your opinion no workflow can do without the one or other Adobe app?

[Tony West] “I don’t know, I think the argument was more nuance than that.
I think X users liked the idea of paying for third party apps as you use/need them if the tradeoff was getting all the updates for free and not having a subscription model like Pr.”
Exactly.
To seemingly suggest anyone at any point was suggesting that FCP was somehow 200% perfect and no one thought it could ever get better nor did anyone WANT any improvements such as these, is ludicrous.
If anything, most, such as myself, would have told you that it’s certainly lacking here and there (as ANY software on the planet is), but mostly in more specialty areas, which simply aren’t on the list of the vast majority. And for those that have them on their list, there are options and solutions out there. And yes, in the end, for a fraction of the price of what certain ransomware will cost you. ????
IOW if the next version didn’t have these tools built-in, I’d still have them if I needed/wanted for cheap. And for certain things I may even still continue to use those other options, but this way e.g. any project exchange I may have will be far less burdened by potential incompatibilities if I choose not to and the onboard toolset get the job done, which I’m thinking they will 99% of the time.
I for one even recently wrote up a long list of things that I don’t like about the current state of FCP’s CC tools here… and low and behold…

[Mark Suszko] “In Motion 6…”
??!!
Simply use a basic text behavior to have the individual words of your text appear one after the other (if that’s wat you’re looking for… semi karaoke-style) and set keyframes at the appropriate spots to have it only advance as you need it. Done. Nothing convoluted needed.

[Oliver Peters] “… or the know how to deal with roundtrips correctly.”
Hmm. Not sure that exporting an XML on FCP’s side, then exporting the graded footage and an XML on Resolve’s side, then simply double-clicking the last XML to get it back into FCP is that big of a deal. ????
[Oliver Peters] “Then add to that the shows that need some color adjustments to have a decent image during offline editing.”
How could you not already (and still) get that with just the color board and/or even a free LUT plugin as needed?
But I for one will most certainly be going to Resolve MUCH less with these new tools at my disposal. Not matter the type of project. Whether they (by themselves or even with e.g. SliceX or Chromatic for tracking) are enough for EVERY project has yet to be seen. But I’d be fine with 99%. ☺
Whether it really has all that much to do so explicitly with FEATURE work I doubt as well. I think it’s plain and simple a matter of just getting decent, FAST tools to 99% of users that need them. That last 1% (features?) will most likely not change a thing in their workflow to date either way! The same people actually still using nonsense such as EDLs and the likes for exchange first and foremost. ????

[Oliver Peters] “In Apple’s case, if you give the customer good enough color correction, then maybe they’ll opt to stay in X, simply because of the loyalty to X.”
For me, it’s simply a HUGE boon when it comes to collaboration or just simply moving from one seat to another. You have every and all essential tools built in, therefore no more, or at least far less exclamation marks in your timeline on the other end. And I think it’s safe to say, that there will be an update to the XML to reflect all the new parameters, which I’m sure Resolve will in turn update to support, too. So if you DO still need to go there for more specialty work (e.g. tracked power windows etc.), then you won’t lose what you’ve done so far in terms of primaries, if you have. As it has already been.
I’ve had several people come to me for color-corrections, because I had 3rd party plugins (AND because I actually know my way around color), so I could do them within X. Only it was of no use to THEM once they got home, should they just need a quick tweak of sorts. That will finally change! I’m excited.

[Scott Witthaus] “What does the cutting of a feature have to do with enhanced color tools? I see no connection. If that were the case, Avid would have beefed up Symphony all these years.”
Was just thinking the exact same.
Probably owed in part to the fact that an editor is expected to be jack-of-all-trades more and more and more. Which, for me, goes along the same lines of “I can work any and every NLE!“, just that it’s “I can do it ALL… edit, color, sound mix, motion graphics yadda yadda!“. In both cases I can only think “Yeah… master of none.”
Apparently the thinking goes, that just because they can, they think they actually can. ???? Which is why everyone is always screaming to have more and more and more within a single app, since the majority seems to believe that their skills and abilities somehow magically grow parallel to that of their software. Painful to watch sometimes.
I say we petition for colorist and sound-mixer appreciation days. ????
