[Bill Davis] “The traditional media sure.

But you and I have probably “consumed” as much single source creative content as we have collaborative – if you accept that every email, tweet, snapchat and vine consumed was created largely by a single brain.

It’s easier to make the collaborative rule stick if you start out being able to define and restrict “entertainment” in the narrow way you’ve been traditionally conditioned.

Heck, I just racked up another few seconds of you and a lot of others spending time consuming MY “creative content” right here.”

Quite some distance from your original point I think

[Steve Connor]

[Bill Davis] “No doubt some things benefit from many collaborative minds. So if that’s your space, embrace it!
“

“Some things” = Almost all of the Visual Entertainment Industry

[Steve Connor]

[Bill Davis] “ope. And neither has 95% of the working editors on the planet. I thought everyone was quite aware of my crusade not to let the conversation here in “or not” focus exclusively on the needs of the top sliver of the industry. When a tool like Legacy or X or Premiere Pro works for a movie OR a YouTube video great. But when it developes ONLY by listening to the editors working as a part of 30 person teams – that kinda sucks too. “

Adobe listening to the needs of teams hasn’t been to the detriment of Premiere Pro, it actually improves it for everyone – including the “95%” of Editors who don’t work in teams.

[Bill Davis] “Oh that’s just silly, Andrew. I can attach my ASUS USB second screen – tell X to display the event browser on it, and bingo – 3 or 4 stakeholders can collaborate just fine. Need more? A pico projector can put it on the wall for the whole room. And unlike cards tacked to a wall – it SAVES every arrangement in memory with instant undo. I’m all for tactile, but we moved from manual typewriters to word processors for a reason. Efficiency. I like dabbling in retro tech as much as the next guy – and typically carry a Moleskien reporter notebook into interviews in case the tech fails – but cards on the wall is just way too inefficient after years where an auto save history has saved my butt so many times. Something pinned cards just don’t feature.

Oh wait, Maybe someone can be assigned to snap cel phone photos of the cards tacked to the wall with every change?

You clearly haven’t worked on large collaborative projects – you know it is possible that FCPX may not be the future for EVERY type of workflow scenario

[Steve Connor]

You can’t run it from “The Cloud” – the program files need to be on your machine

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “I rest my case.”

So we’ll let the Jury decide then?

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “No. But certainly a LOT that clearly shows that Apple is listing to their users just as much as others”

Just for the sake of argument can you give us list of a LOT of things Apple have added in the last couple of years that us users have been asking for

[Steve Connor]

[David Mathis] “Given some of the direction that Apple is going”

What direction is this?

[David Mathis] “Disappointed a bit with QuickTime in El Capitan at the moment. I have been noticing others have had trouble rendering a QT file out of Fusion, experiencing the same results that I have been.”

This is simply because El Capitan isn’t ready for Pro Video use just yet, First releases of Apple software rarely are, it will be fixed shortly, you simply upgraded too early

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “Just because they haven’t put in something that you want?”

We were ALL desperate for 3D Text, probably one of their most requested features.

Seriously, FCPX development has been very steady but in terms of adding features it’s not in the same league as PPro

[Steve Connor]

Wow, didn’t know that, thanks for posting Oliver
