so, can I soften the edges on a crop in FCPX yet? 😉

I did the update on my MB_Air and it went very well. FCPX runs nicely. There was an update for iMovie that I did as well and it is very impressive. Projects seem to export over to X perfectly. Nice way to get folks used to the X-like interface for free before stepping up to the “pro” software.

[Robin S. Kurz] “Well spotted.

(there’s something to be said about trying to troll with the most tired and worn meme and still blowing it. :-)))))
“

HA! I just saw that. Very funny….

[Keith Hamm] “I wouldn’t hang my hat on any Apple products. They don’t have a poor track record of maintaining “professional” products.”

Maybe so, but might as well run with this one while we can. Oh, and ask Avid DS users how their “professional product” was supported, promoted and maintained….

Hey John –

Did you do a clean install or run the update?

[Andy Field] “If X gave us tracks…”

Why in the hell would they do that?

I can see that David, but the overall efficiencies in X over Resolve still make it a better platform for me, IMHO. I just can’t get R11 to run right on a new, tricked out MBP. I think that might be a settings error on my part somewhere.

That said, I am focusing on X and Resolve going forward over Avid or Premiere…

[Eric Santiago] “It always baffles me when not even a day in, the students are already cutting in FCPX at a decent pace.”

I see the exact same thing (we switched from FCP7 to X). In fact, I brought another professor down to watch the students work, and he was as amazed as I was to see how natural X is to them. Way way better than Legacy, as far as rate of learning is concerned.

Most of my students who were on Premiere coming in have now switched over to X. After Effects and Photoshop still rule, of course, but X is working far better than I could have ever expected. MHO, of course.

I had the pleasure today of editing on both X and Premier today. For me, the speed, tools and theory of X is way better. Just my “subjective” opinion. 😉
