[Neil Goodman] “Sometimes I have a really hard time believing your a teacher. If you approach your job, the same way yo approach this forum…SMH.. poor kids.”

Ah yes. The good old logical fallacy of tu quoque! The appeal to hypocrisy… always a favorite! Brilliantly executed, too.

Oh, and actually, if I teach them anything, then it’s at minimum the difference between “your” and “you’re”… and english isn’t even their (or my) first language. Weird, I know.

Sooooo, to summarize… you therefore have no answer of any actual substance to offer up either? Just the usual diversionary polemic and sadly ad hominem* attacks for lack of any real arguments? Okay. Then maybe just leave those up to Herb, just to keep things simple? ? Thanks.

Yeah. I’m most definitely the jerk here. No question about it! ?

_____
* that’s apparently considered a bad word here (??!) and is rejected, therefore the (initial) hyphens. ? What the…

[Robin S. kurz]

Dude. Chill. It was what’s called a joke.

[Robin S. kurz]

Gee, bummers. Must have been the little typo. Ah well. I expected no less, so no worries! ?

[Simon Ubsdell] “If you really are doing ripple moves all the time, then maybe you need to be doing more thinking about what you’re doing and less random moving of stuff around?”

Brilliant. Best one yet. ?

Yeah. I also couldn’t be more bummed that Apple had the gall to removed those visually powerful reminder-gaps, so I can reminisce over every bygone edit throughout the day… *sigh*… that just made SO much more sense and made for amazing movies.

[Michael Hancock] “To say that no one needs or it’s unnecessary shows a complete lack of understanding or imagination in regards to other people’s workflows or methods of working.”

Right. That is if you completely disregard the fact that it was brought up specifically in the context of “noobs“ needing it. So I guess you’re agreeing that that is the case? Or are we talking out of context now? In which case I might refer to my post further up where I clearly said that that isn’t what I was implying, since that obviously would be nonsense, yes. But thanks for the valuable assertion.

And never mind the emoji at the end that you chose to exclude from the quote. That couldn’t have provided any further clarity, I know.

[Robin S. Kurz] “If anything, then it’s relevant upon OUTPUT. Period.”

BTW, yet another one of those “Why the **** do I have to constantly think about this — i.e. take it into consideration — with my every move while I’m editing??”-things in track-based NLEs that don’t come into play with X.

Cue the word SPEED and, oh yeah… PATCHING. You know, that synonym for “connected clips”? ?

And no, not the “arbitrary” but the “objective” and reproducible type of speed. No matter the project. No matter the person.

[Steve Connor] “I don’t need the visual references that Herb needs”

Nor do I.

Ever.

Or anyone (using X) I know.
(I guess including you now… lol)

If anything, then it’s relevant upon OUTPUT. Period. Since why should I (in the context of X) give a flying rats back-end where anything is in the timeline (i.e. what role it’s assigned to) before then? Completely and utterly irrelevant… unless of course you’re working track-based. In which case… yeah. I get it. I feel for you. ?

But hey… it’s there anyway, right? ?

[Bret Williams] “I find myself using the position tool for moving VO or music from a connected clip to the primary.”

I’m trying to understand why you would want to do that if the VO/music is your “primary” reference to begin with. Wouldn’t it then already be in the primary (where you can just as well edit subframe) in that case?

[Bret Williams] “The interface really wouldn’t be all that different if the P tool was the default for me as I don’t move stuff around in the primary, and the rough edit tools already reflect overwrite, insert, connect, etc.”

Judging by that description, it wouldn’t in fact change anything, no. ? The Position tool would be (is) functionally completely pointless as a whole for you by the sound of it. Which kinda was my point. Whether it’s “hidden” or not, no one really needs it in the end anyway. ?

Unlike ripple functionality.

Possibly the display option?

If you know about ROLES and know how to use AND display them… yeah, you actually can.
