[Charlie Austin] “FWIW, this release is very stable. I updated while waiting for a client to call back. All good. :-)”
Hmmm…tempting, but I am in the middle of two large commercial projects. A younger me would jump, but now I’ll wait a bit…

[Aindreas Gallagher] “That FCPX reveal stands as a historical software bombsite crater for the ages. Invested partners and production companies the world over were left picking out bits of apple shrapnel for years”
Classic.

[David Cherniack] “But like doing same with cutaways what you’re talking about is within the provenance of integrity not of tools.”
You are correct here. Morph cuts makes it simpler to deceive in some hands. At least with a cutaway, a semi-knowledgeable person could deduce that “something” might have happened underneath that cover.
[David Cherniack] “Anyway, try it and be amazed.”
Problem is that it’s in Premiere…

Morph Cut? Seriously? “Solving the problem of jump cuts in talking head interviews”.
How about getting the right cutaways or cover? Let’s make it possible for news producers or political spots to completely eliminate context as a pesky barrier. Make them say whatever works best for you. Ugh.
I can’t speak for the AE improvements, but what I see from the Premiere stuff (the color corrector is the nicest thing, IMHO) in no way makes me want to jump up and subscribe.

[Oliver Peters] “only draws interrupted sections of the waveform in a track.”
I’ve seen this in FCPX too.

[Jari Innanen] “Reference waveform is always drawn, whether there is actual signal or not.”
Indeed. There was no audio on my clips, thank you audio guy, but FCPX drew a “phantom waveform” just to let me know where it would be HAD there been audio. I would love to see that eliminated. Wasted precious time trying to chase down something that was never there in the first place.

Maybe we need an FCPX Plug-In Manager so you can pick what third party needs to be loaded when.

I usually work with the very basic clip view. I wish the clip size could be altered, but it seems to make things work a bit smoother.

[Oliver Peters] “FCP X has to import these into the Library – “leave in place” is disabled. Why?”
Don’t you think we should always have the option of “leave in place”? I do.

This works fine, thank you. I had Leave in Place and Create Proxy Media checked prefs and everything is happening as it should.
Now, of course, comes the task of syncing with no reference audio as, whoops, the audio guy didn’t send any audio camera to either camera….and TOD code does not match. And the cameras stopped but audio guy just kept rolling…and the guy has a Cajun accent. Thank god he recorded audio-only on a separate recorder. Joy. It’s billable.
