[Lance Bachelder] “My guess is that day is coming… eventually.”

And the day Avid disappears is coming too. And the day Adobe cranks up it’s subscription price is coming. And the day BMD realizes it’s stretched WAY to thin and kills the free Resolve because it eats into the potential sales of it’s paid version…

I got work to do tomorrow….down in the easy chair…

Interesting. And you made the Proxies after import inside of FCPX, correct? I just did a 75minute 3 camera multicam pretty much the same way, except I created the proxies on import. I

And when you say yellow triangles, you are saying that media is actually missing on the timeline, correct?

[Oliver Peters] “What happens if it disrupts your workflow in a significant way?
“

Then I sadly go to Premiere!

You can do “what ifs” all day long. I have work to do today. That’s whats’ important. I can’t worry about “what if”. That is a paralyzing thought process.

[Oliver Peters] “We are now several months past Apple’s preview of the next FCP X. The update itself is long overdue.”

I say make it right before you release. Perhaps Apple actually learned from the CF that was the first release of X (yes Bill, it was a CF) and is making sure it works. Pure speculation as well.

[Oliver Peters] “ongoing development on the Adobe and Avid side”

I upgraded to MC8.6 and opened it, then closed it. Nothing to see for my workflow there. Avid has it’s niche and is justifiably playing to that niche. Premiere is, well, Premiere. Enough said, in my humble opinion only.

I am not sure what everyone is “waiting for” in terms of the next “big” release. I am crunching along almost every day on X and not really missing that “one big thing” that maybe the next release might have. It works great for my workflow today. When I hit a wall where it doesn’t, then I will start gnashing my teeth and pulling my hair for the next “big” release. As usual, my humble opine only.

[Misha Aranyshev] “Technology didn’t kill Kodak. Kodak was one of the leaders in digital imaging. (Mis)management killed Kodak.”

Let”s just hope we are not saying the same thing in the future, just swapping the word Avid in for the word Kodak.
