[TImothy Auld] “All of the business world that is wary of forced upgrades, sudden EOL’s and a general problem with Apple’s not giving a damn about any consequence the same might cause.”

Do we know this for fact? Where is this information? I see a sh**-ton of iPads out there in the business world too…

[Oliver Peters] “For those of you complaining about the PPro interface, you do know that you can open and close any of the tabs and save custom workspace layouts (not possible in X), right? So you can make it as cluttered or uncluttered as you like.”

Can I change the looks of the icons so it’s not like trying to read some ancient language off a stone tablet?

The Prelude route sounds very clunky but thanks for the heads up. As far as the media browser it seems whenever there is a folder, Pr wants to make a bin. Feature request: “Ignore folders on import”, if that doesn’t exist already.

Interesting. I have the 30 year badge too. I find the simple elegance of X wonderful.

I am doing a Premiere Cc job now and I have come to loathe the interface. Crowded, dim and seemingly forced to look “techy”. Don’t get me started on the title tool (I am making a list for a later post). Or media import. Or going back to tracks. But that’s for later and I want to give PP a fairer shake.

Give me the clean simple interface combined with the power of X any day, cartoonish or not.

[Steve Connor] “Have you had a chance to play with version 12 then?”

Not yet. Low on the list right now. Is it at least a little better than R11?

[Charlie Austin] “It’s really just a nicer version of every other NLE out there.”

Agreed. And not quite ready, either.

[Charlie Austin] “Either way, I’m looking forward to messing around with it. “

Yup, me too.

For example in FCPX, I can tell it to not to make keyword collections (bins) from folders. The software indexes the folders, tosses out the XML files and just brings in the footage. Very efficient. Hoping that can be done in PrCC

Yes, but it still imports all the sub folders.

[Steve Connor] “Exactly – Resolve offers Editing, finishing and what looks like some nice audio tools all in one package.”

Actually I was thinking the other way around. Why leave X? Either way, R11 is a looong way from being a heavy lifting editor. Color and titles? Maybe. But as an editor? Color me skeptical.

[Bret Williams] “Now, if CF could add a trackable draw mask to any of it’s layers, wow. It’d be like a little Resolve plugin.”

yup. And eliminate a “trip” out of the software. Very nice.
