[Oliver Peters] “Of course, it’s kind of irrelevant in this forum”
Now THAT made me laugh!!
SIGGRAPH was a very cool show. Immersive experiences are getting more and more amazing, and some of the emerging tech made my head spin. Unity displayed some amazing pre-vis technology as well. BMD was there demoing the new eGPU’s and even had a Resolve demo, which (to be expected at a show like this) was sparsely attended which made it much better for all who DID attend.
Definitely will be back next year.

Yes, pretty amazing stuff with really really smart people. I certainly will be back next year.
Ran into a BMD rep in the cab line at the airport. Evidently this person was suddenly sent to SIGGRAPH to demo the egpu unit. They are quite proud.

[Oliver Peters] “You’re going to trigger this crowd when they see the complex Avid UI on his screens”
Funny you mention that, in a thread where “design” was mentioned. I (now) see the design of Premiere (and Avid I guess) UI as lacking good design. Maybe in the past but not now (for me). I have a Premiere job tomorrow that I am really not looking forward to because how it is laid out and how you work in it. Same rate, so that does not enter into the equation. I see FCPX as a simple elegant design that makes my work more pleasurable without sacrificing capabilities (and adding some). I feel I do better work on X. I felt the same way with DS, which was still a track-based NLE. Somehow to me, it was just better and I enjoyed working on it much more than MC. Now, this is just me and only my opinion, but how a user or customer sees design can definitely affect their decisions. It “feels” better to them. And obviously there are other people who see the design of X as simplistic and “unprofessional” (there’s that word again). It’s no wonder Design Thinking is such a hot topic these days.
Have at it, folks! 😉

Easy there Bill. I teach as well and take no offense. I do like the line from that movie. It is funny, however, when I started teaching in addition to my editorial work, so many colleagues came up and said “oh man, I would LOVE to teach”.
Having been in the business (post) for over 30 years I like this line better: “It’s all art and commerce. Art goes on your demo reel and commerce pays the bills”.

And the clip plays back fine on the timeline? Can you send a screenshot of the timeline with the clip on it?

Is there any filler on the timeline? Did you drag and drop or append to the timeline? And you are sure that first video starts at 00:00:00?

Same here. Must be a bug.

Certainly interesting and worth putting in the “suggestion box”.

[Brett Sherman] “Ideally, I want to be able to enter a project name. Have it create a library, have it create a media folder with the same name, and import from the camera cards connected to the computer. Maybe even add Finder tags to the media folder.
“Yes, yes, yes and yes.
