[Marcus Moore] “If you went back 20 years, when all those shows were shot on videotape at 480i- if those people knew that their shows would be technically sidelined in just over a decade, do you think they would have thought harder about shooting on film (since no HD alternative existed)?”
I believe most comedies and dramas were still being shot on film 20 years ago… prime time shows, at least. Shows with decent budgets like ER were never shot in SD… instead, going from film to HD (I think they shot on Red cameras when they went digital).

I guess not… I must be a moron too then. 🙂

[Charlie Austin] “I’m sure it’s nice though… :-)”
It is, I’m just waiting for the port to OSX so I can begin converting everyone here. 😛

[Charlie Austin] “Also, since this feature (expanded audio and fade handles)doesn’t exist in other NLE’s, any comparison is invalid. You can’t do it in Pr even if you want to”
Vegas has had fade handles since v1… and auto fades to avoid clip overwrites. 🙂

[Ronny Courtens] “How many feature films have been cut on Lightworks, and where is that NLE today?”
Quite a few and expanding onto a new platform? 🙂

[Richard Herd] “[Charlie Austin] “[Franz Bieberkopf] “[Charlie Austin] “I was actually referring to editing/mixing the actual music”
Charlie,
So was I.
”Well then, clearly we are both correct. ;-)”
That was fun. So in a DAW, we can set the app to auto crossfade when two clips collide. Can X do that?”
Not sure about FCPX… But that’s been the default behavior in Vegas since the Sonic Foundry days. I think they even have 20 or 30 curves to choose from. 🙂

[Charlie Austin] “[David Lawrence] “[Shawn Miller] “Right-click on the clip, select “audio channels”, change any channels you don’t want to use to “none”.”
Thanks Shawn, that’s one. ;)”
And if I don’t want any of them? Like, I don’t want to see them in the timeline at all, but then I want to 3 weeks later?”
Yes, you can work that way as well. The trick though is that you have to set the channel format of the clip(s) to adaptive in the project panel (or make “adaptive” the default method for handling audio tracks). From there, you can select how many audio channels a clip uses, how many active channels per track etc. After that, you can enable, disable, reassign channels from the timeline all you want… channels will then disappear and re-appear as you change assignments.

[Charlie Austin] “[Shawn Miller] “[Charlie Austin] “…or turn source audio channels on and off in PrCC.”
Actually, you can…
EDIT: Dangit! David beat me to it. 🙂
”I guess I wasn’t clear. If I cut a multichannel AV clip into the timeline, and decide I don’t want channels 2 and 4, I have to disable or delete them in Pr or whatever. If I delete them and then decide 3 days later I do want them, I need to match back to the source and cut them in again, or drag around a bunch of disabled sync audio until I decide to enable it or not. Right?”
Nope, you can turn clip channels on and off at will. I do this quite often when working with P2 footage.
