[Robin S. Kurz] “Just try not to justify your own decision by suggesting everyone else is a clueless doofus because they made a different choice and lack your superior “pro” vision and business sense. That truly does not help your position the least bit.
“Did he say that?
[Robin S. Kurz] “Huh? So how exactly do “continuing improvements” not apply to any and every other NLE on the market… only in most cases WITHOUT the monthly expense?? “
True, but his point is the PPro has had many more features added and enhancements than other NLE’s
To be fair they haven’t added 3D text though, so they are lagging behind in that area

[Jim Wiseman] “Not with monopolies like AE.”
That’s true, is there much discussion about it on the AE COW? I would have thought it would have been a huge issue over there.
I don’t use it much, Motion’s enough for me

[David Lawrence] “Yep, I guess some people are fine with letting a multinational corporation control access to their native project files because for them it’s a’ll about business. They forget this is not true for everyone who uses creative software tools.”
Fortunately for us all the free market gives us options

[Andrew Kimery] ” It obviously can’t add any more image detail than what exists on the DV tape, but it seemingly can help smooth out some of the jaggies in the chroma caused by the compression.
“I agree, I spent a lot of time as an Online Editor in a linear Digibeta suite and we saw this a lot. Perceived difference it may be, but it WAS a difference

Thanks for posting that Lance, I’m sure you’re going to be getting a few questions about it. Glad it went well for you.

[Lance Bachelder] “I also just finished a feature cut in FCPX. While I did most of the color timing in Redline I did all final color in FCPX using Color Finale and a little Color Board. Because the mix came out so bad I also ended up remixing the entire film in 5.1 in FCPX for the Red Carpet premiere in Hollywood.
I cut the entire film in 4K native .r3d’s – no proxies! “
We’re going to need a LOT more detail about this please!

[Bill Davis] “I wanted a question answered that sprung from this discussion. To wit; Someone hands you a legacy tape to include in your DOCUMENTARY – is there a chance that encoding it in a higher level codec, say ProRes 444 – will yield a better preserved signal than simply capturing it to an h-264 file. And the answer appears to be NO. It will NOT make a visible difference.”
Maybe, but in a Broadcast workflow, no visible difference doesn’t necessarily mean it will pass a tech check

[Robin S. Kurz] “Never mind that I never said that I have NO performance issues. So maybe try it again sans the insinuations and re-read. Since it was talk of SPECIFIC issues.”
Sorry, my bad – so what performance issues do you have?
-
[Robin S. Kurz] “No, none. And we’re talking for the most part 5K material, too. Have I had similar issues in the (now far) past? Yes. Just not anytime since probably even before 10.1.”
Could we have a show of hands, apart from Bill and Robin, who has NO performance issues with FCPX?
