[Andrew Kimery] “Somewhere along the way though that attitude morphed from ‘having choices is good’ to ‘having choices is good, but if you don’t choose FCP X you’re an idiot’.”

Also funny is how some of the non-X folks have gone from “it’s not pro” to “it’s good to have options”! And it is.

Don’t worry so much about the switch. Once you get into, you will find the power of FCPX that makes it much faster and more effective than FCP7.

Suggestions would be to get Ripple Training and also not try to make your X work like FCP7. I don’t even think in terms of tracks anymore and when I do edit on FCP7, PP or MC, tracks seem to get in the way.

Good luck and have fun!

Interesting thread.

As I think back to the hundreds of jobs I ran through FCP7, I cannot ever remember using the mixer in the system. My jobs were mostly spots and I cut with scratch tracks and temp music tracks. Upon client approval, the spot was sent to an audio house for VO record, music and mix. Back to me (or a finisher) for layback. Or I get a finished audio track to cut to. So to me, an audio mixer is way down on the list and the lack of one is not much of a consequence at all in X. I would rather see tighter integration with Motion and Resolve before an audio mixer. Guess it’s all about ones particular workflow.

Never had it crash on AVCHD so I wouldn’t know. All I felt was that Premiere was struggling and was always on the edge. Like your X problem, it could have been the system I was on (a clients, not mine). To each his/he own.

Ah, yes. Thank you all. Is there any way to jump to the head of each used piece of media?

[Gary Huff] “Yeah, Premiere crashing. That’s a good one.”

Try some Epic 5K with Premiere. Ugly. And you lose stuff.

Thanks, Dennis. Looks like to me you all should merge the two into one product! 😉

uh, no. 😉

While I heard there was a CC release recently and Premiere just got a few, most were to AE. Is this not true?
