[Herb Sevush] “Tutorial 3 – Oh wow you can keep cutting as the timeline is moving
“I think you missed the fact that you can do this in PPro CC 2015 as well

[Tom Sefton] “I just haven’t seen anything but impressive performance from it. For instance – we shoot a lot of Red Epic Dragon footage. The nMP is encoding 4k r3d files to prores in realtime and editing in FCPX is smooth with raw files. It even works with 6K full frame files and encodes 10mins of 6K footage in less than 16mins.
“Very impressive, what spec is your machine?

What OS is it running?

[Craig Seeman] “Alas all I’d need would be “someone” to respond to, “I like noir science fictions from eastern Europe” and get an “Ah, you mean titles like these…””
Isn’t there a COW forum for this sort of thing?

[Bill Davis] “And it’s kinda hard to see how choosing what is in the subscription package would have earned me one extra dime toward the difference in the same period. YMMV.”
That’s obvious, if you don’t actually NEED then it could be seen as a waste of money. I get thrown AE or PPro projects to work on so I do NEED it, but then it’s billed for and it recoups the cost.

[John Rofrano] “For me, that makes FCP X way more economical than CC will ever be and I didn’t have to sacrifice continuous improvements to get it.
“I don’t think anyone has argued that PPro CC is better value as an NLE than FCPX and no-one is saying that FCPX is not being developed, it’s the pace of development that is under discussion at the moment.
We could move it on a bit by talking about how FCPX has a fantastic amount of third party plugins available that could be viewed as a type of “feature enhancements” and even if you pay for these, the cost is still less than PPro?

[Robin S. Kurz] “or even by what the most belligerent ones screaming the loudest say is THE thing to use”
Ha!

[Robin S. Kurz] “I’m pretty sure everyone actually using X on a daily basis has found a plethora of them on their own. Certainly countless amounts along the magnitude of “Added back button”. “
Robin, I use X on a daily basis and have been since launch, I’ve edited hundreds of projects on it including corporates, documentary, event, short films and even a feature on it so I’m just intrigued by your claim of these undocumented features.
-
[Robin S. Kurz] “And again, not nearly all new features etc. are listed. Not even close.
“Care to enlighten us then Robin? Would love to know if Apple have added more features that aren’t on that list, just in case I’m not using them.
