Justin –

That is a great question. I am hoping Resolve becomes a true start to finish edit system.

Are you saying you get the same stuttering playback with ProRes? That is troubling.

[Herb Sevush] “The idea of changing the name of this forum comes up about once a month, and it gets shot down once a month.”

Who shoots it down? Tim?

[Jeremy Garchow] “If you make this a Pr forum, or an Avid forum (of which there are multiple here on the COW) then what does that do as an FCPX user who wants to participate in the debate?”

Um, the FCPX user simply posts, like Avid and Premiere folks to here. What’s the difference?

We will have to agree to disagree. There is no debate anymore. Whatever debate there was is over.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Perhaps a brand new forum is in order? “

To do what, debate? Debate what?

Or just change the title of this forum.

[Dennis Radeke] “I’m sorry you find disdain for having various Adobe folks at Creative Cow as a whole including this forum offering to help out and join the conversation.”

Dennis –

No disrespect intended. I find it interesting and enlightening. But just another good reason to make this more inclusive than an “X DEBATE” forum.

[Walter Soyka] “but when’s the last time we had a discussion that hinged on the differences between, say, Pr/Ae and Smoke?”

Well, perhaps if you dropped the X moniker, Smoke and Premiere/Ae would feel more welcome to join “the debate” (insert evil laughing sound effects here). It just seems a bit silly, IMHO, three years on we are talking about “The Debate” (more evil laughing)….

Tim – what do you think? “The NLE Open Debate Forum”? There for those folks who like to ‘kvetch’.

[Steve Connor] “Considering the amount of people still using FCP Legacy, I would say the debate is far from over.”

The fact that some (including me) have to use, or choose to use, an EOL’ed software has nothing to do with some “debate”. The debate, if there ever was one, is long over.

[Jeremy Garchow] “X can do amazing things, but I don’t think it is safe to say the debate is over. Do you?”

Yes, it is. X is part of the professional conversation. Many of use it everyday and bill the same rate we did on Avid, Premiere or Legacy (actually a bit more in some cases). Legacy is dead and there are other options for those who don’t want to switch. There is no debate, except within one’s own mind on what product to use for what job.

Or perhaps we should have a couple other forums:

Avid Media Composer: Pay How Much a Year for THAT? – The Debate

or

Premiere Pro: You Call That an Interface? – The Debate

Just as relevant, no? Or perhaps this should become The Debate forum and drop X from the title.

So Jeremy, explain to me what the “debate” is and how it relates to X?

[Joseph Owens] “Resolve handles media very differently than a plain-vanilla NLE, so assuming that Premiere or Media Composer are a good benchmark for codec agility is not a good barometer.”

I was hoping it could handle the codec as least as well as FCPX can. Thanks for your advice and I will check through the hardware config. Thanks again.

[Jeremy Garchow] “It’s not broken, no reason to fix it, and the debate still continues.”

What’s the debate? It’s not about X specifically anymore. Change it to better reflect spirit of what the forum has become.
