[Bob Zelin] “one day, everyone will know how to edit, and it will all be over for most of us”
I heard this from linear editors when Avid camp around. And then from Avid editors when FCP-Legacy came around. Now Premiere editors when (that non-professional ) Project Rush comes out (I’m kidding here of course)? And so it goes.
I think for most of us it’s not knowing “how to edit”: anyone can learn a software. Its about knowing how to tell a compelling story in an efficient timeframe. My answer back then and now is always the same: Be better. Be good enough so your clients can’t afford to be looking elsewhere no matter what the cost. If there is a kid out there who is better, then they deserve the work.

Dunno. Is any of it really “new”?

[Morten Ranmar] “Well, if they were so scared, would they not include as many new tools in their package as possible, instead of craving a separate subscription for this?”
I would rather they create an a la carte model: Pick 5 software from the cloud for a fixed price. Or Sling model. Why do I need to have (or pay for the development of) the rest, most of which I will never even open up, no less use.

Certainly will look into it. I use Pond 5 mostly and have just started using it’s app for FCPX. While early in the game, I really like how the App makes things very easy to download into your Library and then purchase.

I think Apple Talk is a poor choice. It solves nothing and muddies the water. I certainly get taking FCPX out of the name as a good thing, but changing to Apple Talk doesn’t make a lot of sense.
I prefer the general direction of “NLE’s and General Discussion” or something that captures the topics on the forum in a better way.

Avid has a forum called “General Discussion and Off-Topic”. Maybe the Cows version could be “General NLE Discussion and Off-Topic”

FCPX can do that, as Steve demonstrated. Another feature…that is.
