If this forum became what it did with a name like Apple Final Cut Pro X Debates, which as many of you have said has little to do with either Apple or FCPX for that matter, why do you think a much more catch-all name will be that much more off-putting and will hamstring the forum’s chances of continuance? I really do not see the reason for all the push-back.

[John Rofrano] “I vote for NLE Debates which I believe is more in line with what we do here.”

NLE Debates works but I think adding Apple vs PC NLE Debates will generate more traffic.

But if you guys see something that works better, we are all ears — well, except for arms, legs, and other appendages.

[Oliver Peters] “Maybe there should actually be two forums: AppleTalk and NLE Debates, each with a different focus, precisely as John described above.”

There will just be ONE forum. As I said, I do not care what the name is. I hope you guys come up with one that you can live with and that you feel highlights what happens here.

I would offer one suggestion: we would like it to remain positionally where it has stood in the past — in the As, Apple in particular. Why? Because in the Ns it will draw far less attention.

So, how about something like “Apple vs PC NLE Debates“? That way it will remain in the As and will draw more attention.

[Andrew Kimery] “”Apple Talk” will change the direction of the forum (especially as new people join the discussion). Bill, among a few others, have been saying for years that this is an Apple-centric forum (it’s not IMO ) so discussions of Avid, Adobe, Resolve, etc., shouldn’t be allowed. “Apple Talk” heavily implies that that’s true and so only discussions about Apple goods belong here. “Apple Talk” also has no connection to NLEs or post/production.”

So, you are saying that a forum born about Apple’s changes and that has historically but not exclusively debated things from that viewpoint is now not a largely though not exclusively Apple forum?

THAT is the problem as we see it. People log into this forum and think it actually DOES have something to do with Apple Final Cut Pro X and because of that mislabelling and misunderstanding, it generates a LOT of ill-will and as I said it gets the second-most amount of email of the negative kind.

I personally do not care what this forum is called, you guys decide. I just threw out Apple Talk because it just seemed to work for me but if it doesn’t work for you guys, you give it some thought and come up with something you can live with but in any case, it will be changing with the new system. What that change is to be, I leave to those here, but if nothing is forthcoming, it likely will bear the name Apple Talk — even if people occasionally talk about other things.

Who said we were changing the focus of the forum? I do not remember saying any such thing. Perhaps a reread of what I actually said is in order?

Hello Kalleheikki,

My apologies for the late reply but I have been digging back through some things that didn’t get a reply and just found your question. The answer is in the attached image, which shows that when you click on your name, it takes you to your basic user page and on it there is a files link.

I hope that helps.
