This doesn’t seem to work for me as a professional, but as a home video user, events are great! Very excited to edit avchd and h264s of my son! This is great! But then for work, it doesn’t work.

So a FCP7 sequence is loosely equal to a FCPX project. As far as I can tell, the traditional FCP7 project has gone away.

So for one show that I’m working on:

– I see all the events from all of my other clients or shows
– There likely would be different FCPX projects open for this one show
– I should only use one event for the show and organize media by folders, metadata, ranges and keyword.

Honestly, I’m struggling with the idea that the media/sequences for one show aren’t organized by project, but seem to be grouped in with everything that I have on my system. This might be cool for a home video library, but I don’t want to see all the events for all of our shows that we keep on our san in every project I open. If I want to share footage (which we rarely do) I’ll just copy it over to the other project media folder, but I don’t need or want access to all media from all projects all the time.

And organizing sequences by compound clips in a project doesn’t seem realistic either. So if I have a feature film, I would have one project with a ton to compound clips in it? Some compound clips would be scenes. Some would be outtakes. Some would be different versions. Some would be titles or different languages. This would get confusing fast.

Right on.

I think I’d like to be able to switch between Select and Position mode while I’m dragging a clip, just like how you can turn snapping off and on while dragging a clip.

Thanks,

Playing with the files in Finder seems like a big no-no.

I’ll try to check it tomorrow. But really it looks like I bought the exact same program that I already had!

I was wrong. You were right. This sucks.

That is the iTunes Usage Rules. Here is the Usage Rules that would cover FCP-X:

MAC APP STORE PRODUCT USAGE RULES

Except as otherwise set forth herein,

(i) You may download and use an application from the Mac App Store (“Mac App Store Product”) for personal, non-commercial use on any Apple-branded products running Mac OS X (“Mac Computer”) that you own or control.

(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on each of the Mac Computer(s) used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Computer that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Computer and laptop Mac Computer, or multiple students may serially use a Mac App Store Product on a single Mac Computer located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each Mac Computer used serially by multiple users requires a separate license.

(iii) Use may require sign-in with the Apple ID used to download the Mac App Store Product from the Mac App Store. Mac App Store Products can be updated through the Mac App Store only.

That is a very good list. But while ther are creatures from Color and Soundtrack in FCPX, there is no evidence currently that they won’t exist on their own.

Way too early to tell if this is really a pro app, but 64-bit with multi-core support and hardly any rendering looks very, very pro to me. The nesting support looks great! Really great. The keyframing is much better. Color in app is awesome. Speed changes are very cool. Magnetic timeline will be cool, as long as I can turn it off when I don’t want it.

This is different. I know some people will hate having to figure out how to change their workflow. For me, still questions to be answered, but I think this will be significantly more pro than ANY of the previous versions.

Different, but definitely more pro.

I think the key to all of this is that it is was a “Sneak Peak” and not a full product announcement. There are a million other questions to be answered. Even though there were things that I wondered If I would use, in general, it looks really cool. There will be quite a few editors who will really hate the change.
