[Oliver Peters] “I guess, you’d rather be argumentative just for its own sake”
Not really. But, hey, this is a debate forum!
But just throwing a topic out there as stated is like saying “hey, GM used to make refrigerators and tanks back in the day. Why no ice-makers and 50mm cannon on my Pontiac?”. Kidding of course….
So a better way to state this would be “How do editors see an iOS control surface app working with FCPX? Good idea or not?” Your framing makes it look like Apple is ignoring the “long suffering editor” by not giving them a vital tool.

What features do you want to see in a iOS extension of an NLE? How do you think it might help the X workflow? Perhaps that would be a better way to pose the subject? Adobe has iOS apps. Why no extension into Premiere? Not sure why you are posting this.
How do you expect someone to answer this question?

I don’t see an advantage to another surface in X. How do you see it as beneficial? Do Adobe and Avid offer this as well?

It worked for basic color grades, that is.

[Michael Gissing] “Color correction? No, I would never expect that to come across in any meaningful way via xml or AAF in any system.”
In the 12 version of Resolve, it actually did work. Info here:
Some of these issues may be because Resolve imported the 1.7 fcpxml, but the pop-up warning told me Resolve only likes 1.4 or 1.5

Are you finding the stills issue across NLE’s that you send to Resolve?
Yes, Resolve is wanky on stills import. Interestingly enough I was able to get at least SOME movement across via the Ken Burns effect (internal FCPX feature). Not the correct movements, scale or rotation, but at least something.
I then re-imported with using key frame animation from the Transform tab in X and no movement at all came across.
No color correction in either test came over. I had thought that even back at R12, the software would import color corrections done in X.
Another interesting thing is that when I import an FCPXML 1.8 file, I get a warning that R15 only supports 1.4 and 1.5. But, if I drop back to a 1.7 xml, it certainly imports but with the problems noted above. It is still in beta I guess. I will test with an older version of X that still might export a 1.5 xml.

[David Mathis] “I hope Simon will stay as well. I may not agree completely with his opinions in his original post in this thead but I respect both his opinions and him. A healthy debate is always good.”
Agreed. In a healthy debate, thick skin is needed. If one leaves because of criticism, the maybe the skin is not thick enough.

[James Culbertson] “.just when I think threads can’t get any more silly, they do”
Exactly!
Did you hear that FCPX is the main cause of global warming?

Interesting because I don’t see how much better Premiere is on this subject. Maybe I don’t use key frames enough. So if it’s so “shite”, do tell. Just putting that out there has no meaning. Tell us why.
