[John Davidson] ” I don’t think the world really gets what this application is capable of…”
I didn’t really either for the first couple of versions… and I owned it! 😀
[John Davidson] “… but I think the next few updates are going to blow minds.”
The last update most certainly gave it a HUGE boost for me, especially after a gut feeling that not too much might even happen anymore, since it seemed to go under and no one was taking much notice. But even at this point I still feel that a bunch of coders with only very basic knowledge and understanding of what and how X does things (i.e. is used in production) put it together (my tag vs. keyword thing as case in point), which need to be addressed. But it’s still essentially a v1 and the last update has made me very hopeful as I said, and I’m very excited to see what happens next. I’m also trying to do my best to be active about those changes via email with them. We’ll see… !
Still waiting for that clip of the demo btw! ;-))

You forget, Bill. You can’t have an opinion OR ask questions (especially the uncomfortable ones) before running it past Steve! 😉 Do it, or feel the righteous wrath!

Ah! Thanks for the heads up on Telestream. I’ll definitely have to bookmark that! Hadn’t noticed the other thread yet, but having skimmed through it, It think I now know what I need on the subject. Cheers.

I’d just be very curious as to which speech-to-text technology they’re using, since I can’t imagine they could or would come up with their own, right? This is I’m assuming that’s not exactly a trivial task. That alone would say a lot about what can be expected in terms of accuracy, no?
I’ve also often wondered (here, too) why Apple doesn’t in fact just connect the dots between their already existing technologies? Have a “Transcript” button in FCP X that sends the audio to OS X’s built-in dictation, which in turn sends back the text in some way shape or form. In the notes field? As named favorites? Simple RTF? Whatever. Because I use the dictation a lot, even for several languages, and whilst it might be far from perfect (but still much better than what I ever got out of e.g. PPro back in the day), I’m still amazed at how well it does and how fast it’s become.

Simply crossfade to a segment of the same audio with e.g. the “Telefon” filter applied?

[John Davidson] “They’re going to add the ability to FCPX Keyword tag a file without In/out needed.”
Yaaaay!
[John Davidson] “These won’t show up on files at the finder level.”
No, since that’s what of course tags are for, if needed.
[John Davidson] “I have requested they also give FCPX keyword options in Smart Media boxes.”
Good idea.
Now if only I could send my existing edit (i.e. FCPXML) directly to FCP 7/PPro CC… Seeing that it’s already capable of generating the needed XMLs from scratch, why not also translate? They’re already half way there…
[John Davidson] “FWIW looking around at NAB there are so many media management applications – and this is the only one on the mac app store and probably the cheapest. Very interesting.”
If they actually went Windows as well and/or figured out a browser version to access it, I’d say they’d tear the market wide open on the low to mid range! I got a quote for various MAMs as I was looking into options and e.g. CANTEMO wanted a mere $20,000… mind you, just for the server side of things. With that I didn’t even yet have the “plugins” for each needed NLE. By the time you’re actually up and running, with installation, training, hardware (obviously is of no use to you without fibre-channel) etc. etc…. $200K (near $100K even without the hardware). Others were not a whole lot different. Mind blowing. Whilst KFP probably isn’t exactly direct competition, they sure opened up the option of some serious media management for “the rest of us”.
Have you given the demo yet? Good luck if not… 🙂

[Tony West] “Can you send it back to X the same way?”
Sure. If you can figure out a way to output XML from Motion. 😉
As Oliver’s blog post states, either via render or as a published generator.

[Dom Silverio] “his over the top statements (“very unique”) is a little hard to swallow”
Which is imho an ironic statement, seeing that that exact fact, the fact that FCP X follows a very (i.e. too) “unique” paradigm that so many are unwilling to adapt to, apparently makes FCP X as a whole “too hard to swallow”. So how can his overall claims be so for out? (feel free to be specific) I for one completely agree. They used various tools that are 100% UNIQUE to FCP X or rather only have any real use in the context of X. E.g. Lumberjack et al for example. And I’d love to see how you do even half the stuff he describes they did in terms of metadata and organization (e.g. with audio) with any other NLE. So again, unique, and very much so, yes.
And I’d have to question if you yourself have even ever used FCP X for any extended period of time, let alone in actual production? Because if not, then how exactly do you figure you can even be the judge of whether what he is saying is so totally over the top or “disingenuous” or not? There’s no way you could, since 80% of what he describes couldn’t possibly have made much sense to you. That would be like me judging someone’s surgical techniques, without ever having studied even one semester of medicine.
It’s like Michael says himself: “You have to understand the context of how to USE the tool, in order to open up doors that you’ve never had access before.” And that BECAUSE he is in fact “very well versed in the technical things of our industry”, yes.
But then I don’t even get how his video could be misconstrued as a “sales pitch” seeing that he doesn’t sell FCP X. And the Light Iron hard and software is completely NLE independent. So that strikes me as a rather odd (and typical) strawman.
