[Andrew Kimery] ” I’ve heard people say film is a director’s medium, tv is a writer’s medium and documentary is an editor’s medium and I’d agree with that.”
Agree 100%. Cutting a doc now and this statement couldn’t be more true.

[Andrew Kimery] “If they are anything like the YouTubers I’ve worked with they wouldn’t call themselves editors even though they might edit their own videos.”
Funny thing is, many of these “YouTubers” videos have better production quality than some of the reality TV crap out there. But they are called “YouTubers” and “hobbyists” while the reality TV is on the high-pedestal of “broadcast editor”!
and so it goes….

[Oliver Peters] “If you look at why people are interested in using Resolve, color correction is a key factor, because you eliminate the roundtrip. That’s what a number of the interviewees are saying in these customer stories. A lot of features end up going through Resolve at the end. In Apple’s case, if you give the customer good enough color correction, then maybe they’ll opt to stay in X, simply because of the loyalty to X.
“But tell me how this connects to cutting a feature? And wouldn’t you say most features of decent budget go out of the NLE to a colorist for finish?

[Oliver Peters] “I get the feeling that there’s more interest in using Resolve to cut a feature than there is to use FCPX. Maybe that’s one of the reasons Apple is enhancing the color tools inside of FCPX.”
What does the cutting of a feature have to do with enhanced color tools? I see no connection. If that were the case, Avid would have beefed up Symphony all these years.

[Bill Davis] “Reference clips buried within reference clips is a sign to me that an editor doesn’t really understand X very well – and are maybe trying to re-capture “nesting” behaviors they relied on in other software approaches.”
Exactly. That’s when you go and kick the editor in the shin and tell them to get their sh** together before coming to finish.

[Oliver Peters] “I think this is really only intended for camera footage shot on an iPhone or iPad with Apple’s software and NOT using third party camera apps.
“Or a Red camera in the future? Seriously though, it will be interesting to test.

[John Young] “They are consistently adding the things that we find useful.”
Like the social media panel and, yes, the VR/AR integration? Would these be better as plugin options from Adobe?

[Andrew Kimery] “you can bring import an iMovie iOS project into 10.4”
Digging this idea. Would love to be able to rough a few things out on an iPad and bring them up to 10.4.
Funny thing is that I was doing a Premiere gig last week and was enjoying the Lumetri color panel. Now it looks like FCPX will have similar, in the software I vastly prefer to work with. Good times.

So when you have the project timeline active (command-2), you can’t use the W key to insert a clip? Might want to restart X and trash prefs on launch (hold option-command keys down while launching FCPX).

[Oliver Peters] “Let’s see if Apple steps up to the plate with something that enables better collaborative workflows”
I would rather see Apple integrate Motion/Logic into the workflow like Adobe is doing with PS and AE. Again, collaborative workflow is probably not needed for most visual storytellers.
Finished a Pr job recently and I really enjoyed bouncing to AE for simple little things when needed. Of course, the next day one of the linked files from AE would not show up in Pr….oh well.
