Thanx Bill for the interesting elaboration, but somehow I still like the idea that I can chose.
If I have a roundtrip with DaVinci, and I export an XML of the final edit, so I can work on it n resolve,
I don’t want that it points to the original files, but to the highest possible editing codec, like ProRes 444.
I’m happy with a lot of things in X, but I think, choosing your transcoding codec, exporting AAF and OMF, opening former FCP legacy docs are features that still have to come natively into the app.
I happen to agree with Mr. W. Murch, that it’s stuff, that just has to be part of a pro app.
And I’m very optimistic, that hose things still will come.
Maybe in FCPX 11?
