From the release of Premiere?

[Herb Sevush] “So according to one of it’s better known proponents it’s taken 5 years for X to be suitable for long form work. Well, I guess that is progress.”

Took Premiere a lot longer, though.

[Dave LaRonde] “Oh, now Adobe wouldn’t do that to its beloved renters, would it?”

Oh never (as I repeatedly hit the tilde key to try and get the source side monitor to reduce back to where it belongs!)!

[Oliver Peters] “[Scott Witthaus] “Logic seemingly sit in the background”

Logic just received a big update.”

I was talking more about marketing. Logic is a ProTools competitor (on some levels) and Motion is an AE competitor (on some levels). Why not make them work together better and market the hell out of them?

Good luck. That’s a lot of bug fixes, and I hope the beta process is better in the future. Oh wait, maybe we are the beta process.

Another way to look at it is that if you are out of sync, you purposely split audio and video elements. Well, you just made your own bed and now you have to sleep in it! ???? (insert cranky old voice here): ‘back in my day, your eyes were the best sync indicator! Mouth moves without sound, well then you’re out if sync, sonny!’

With the momentum FCPX seemingly has, I just wonder why Apple let’s Motion and Logic seemingly sit in the background. Get all three in the spotlight and get them working seamlessly together and you have a helluva package to sell.

[andy patterson] “Sometimes the speculations become a reality but more often than not the future is unpredictable. “

I wanted to watch this video in it’s entirety, but the VO kept causing me to fall asleep. Don’t you all think we will see an “iMac” Pro” with a hinge-able base to let it lie flat or slightly angled and touch capabilities in the future? Seems like a logical next step to match the surface. As an editor and not an artist or designer, I am trying to figure out what a Surface-like device would give me over my iMac or Mac Book Pro right now?

[Oliver Peters] ” you gotta wonder whether the post teams for such shows would be “encouraged” to use Apple hardware and specifically FCPX.”

If the check is big enough, the production company will make that happen.

“It’s become clear that FCPX was for editors who didn’t have any perceived notions on how to piece together a project and ultimately, editors who have been in the game for a long time this was too much of a jump.”

I have been saying this from the beginning…because Apple can. Thanks for sharing, Herb.

[Oliver Peters] “FCPX gains interest because of the liberal App Store policy and because it is the anti-subscription NLE.”

You forgot to add that some folks see it as the best NLE for their workflow on the market today. 😉
