Yes, we should change it. FCPX is the best NLE that has ever existed on any planet in any galaxy, so there is no debate.
We can change it to: “Old Farts to Like to Argue”

[Neil Goodman] “Whats crazy is that he had 2 weeks to do such a simple edit,”
Having worked with agency creative teams for over two decades, this does not surprise me one bit. Sometimes it’s like “how slow do I go so you can hit your billable hours…?”

[Andrew Kimery] ” which is that they like the fact that big Hollywood projects are using their chosen NLE because it solidifies (justifies? vindicates?) the decision that they made in choosing that NLE.”
In my humble opinion, I think this is a dumb way to choose an NLE (or market an NLE). You choose it on your workflow and taste, not because some Hollywood director thinks Premiere is cool. What about the movies cut on Avid, Premiere or X that suck? Is that a negative mark on the NLE? Of course not, but it highlight the dumbness of choosing an NLE because some Hollywood cat uses (insert your NLE here). All the “non-editors” I know pick NLE’s that way. 😉

I had to do a quick Premiere gig yesterday and wanted to do a little type treatment on one scene. While I loathe Premiere and it’s interface, the ability to go directly to AE, do a quick lighting effect on type, and have it there in the timeline is sweet. I know it’s been asked for many times, but export to Motion with a dynamic link would be at the top on my list.

So if I hate the movie, do I get to blame Premiere? 😉
Always made me laugh at Avid marketing: “all the award winning films cut on Avid…” What about the one’s that suck? Must be FCPX that those were cut on!

Did you open the video animation on the clip in the timeline to see if there are any “rogue” keyframes that accidentally were added?

[Morten Ranmar] “Being unable to force relink is the reason I abandoned FCPX and fled to PrPro.”
Man, it’s going to take a lot more than that to force me to Premiere!
