Yeah, I have to admit it looks a lot more powerful than any of the old CC tools. Damned mean of Apple, toying with us by showing FCP but nothing more, makes me feel like a I am 8 and I think I know what I am getting for Christmas but it’s still days away.

I only watched the vids, but form what I could see of the colour correction it’s not in any way a replacement for Color, it matches both PPro and Avid’s in-App. CC’ing but that isn’t really anything more than FCP already offer, ok it is a bit it’s not a finishing program, unless they accept that Resolve will fully take that over in the same way that Nuke surpassed Shakes usefulness. Perhaps that is not a bad move, if it means that FCPX, XI, XII etc. will be supported more enthusiastically. I was told that BM have said they are hoping to release a roundtrip with FCP and Resolve so perhaps they knew something a while ago.

I don’t think Apple have re-invented how we edit but if the moving timeline thing with tracks hopping out of the way works and doesn’t have any nasty caveats it will be a marvelous step forwards and they look to have sorted grouping out in a clever and clean fashion. It does look more than just catch-up and having used Premiere for a couple of jobs, which it did ok, it still just edits in the same way everything else does, it’s benefit was using any daft format you can think of, which Avid quickly did as has FCP, weather we think it is sensible or not is another thing. I think it looks more Pro than it has in all previous versions and I don’t really care if it costs more to buy all the apps separately.
Anyone at NAB managed to drag any info about Color out of the Apple people who must be just standing around waiting to answer our burning questions? Is it going to be released new at the same time as FCPX? I presume it has been upgraded of course!!!! (that would not be a good thought!)

Hi
This looks amazing, it is a whole new looking app. and it looks to work in a whole new way, wonderful, I like learning new things if the reward is good. It looks to have taken some of the good bits from other apps. like SoundtrackPro and if that app has died because of that then personally I am happy, I used STP because audio in FCP was really rather naff and STP did manage “send & return” most of the time but this is great. Now, if they have made a roundtrip to Logic work well then things will get interesting.
The original write ups of the demo said that Color looked to have gone but that demo merely shows that Apple have made colour correction a different and much better beast from within FCP. I now have good hopes for Color and if they have unified the GUI to the same look then they have made the best choice, might even make Motion feel more usable.
I also reckon that the $299 is just for FCPX and the other Apps will be priced separately.
Hope that all the other Apps. have had the same upgrade. When’s the next demo? I want to know what they look like now!

I’ve got one of the Panasonics, ex broadcast company. Its great, good clarity, all the bits you need but it is only 17″ but is big always beautiful? It goes a few frames out if I view at 1080 but at 720 it fine, got mine for £ 700 on an auction. it was the best I could get without spending a small fortune which I didn’t have.

Hi Bryson,
I was just at the show in London and chatted with your chaps on the stand. I am about to buy the pro standalone version but just read in this post that there is another version if you are using XDCAM, from what I read it sounds like I can’t just drag the footage into catdv for cataloging from the cards, is that right?
Regards
Roland

The front USB on my original G5 was only a 12mb one or whatever the slow speed usb is. The rear ones are the faster ones. That may explain slower speeds on transfer.
