[Andrew Kimery] “After some Googling it looks like it said both things on the same call.

“

Unbelievable!

[Bernard Newnham] “PS – you paid £1000 for a phone?”

Certainly did! quality of the 4K video is so good that I’ve been billing it to clients as a “C” camera and it paid for itself in 4 months.

Different world now Bernard, enjoy your research 🙂

[Bernard Newnham] ” it’s been made selling expensive phones to people who haven’t worked out that they can buy similar products for a third of the price.”

We like the quality of the phones and the security of the iOS ecosystem and you CAN’T get a phone as good as my iPhone X for a third of the price

[Bernard Newnham] “Apple have also made a fortune – just like Amazon and others – by not paying a moral amount of tax in the markets they serve. “We pay all our taxes in every country we sell in” – but we exploit every loophole in the differences in between laws to keep money that should be benefiting those countries”

Do you offer HMRC more money than is legally due to them for moral reasons?

[Bernard Newnham] “I’m sure FCPX is a perfectly good editing system (though not for me) but there are lots of others, and they don’t lock you in to being a vassal of the great vampire squid of computers.”

Some of us don’t see them as that though Bernard, we know the economics of using Macs is actually very good, I used my last Mac Pro for SEVEN YEARS before I changed it, not bad ROI really is it?

[Bernard Newnham] “I can’t imagine why anyone would want to lock themselves in to one company.”

Consumer choice Bernard – in 25 years of editing I have never had a more reliable edit experience than the time I have spent with FCPX, I am VERY happy with iOS as a system. I never feel locked in because I ALWAYS have a choice.

[Bernard Newnham] “I don’t care who makes it, but I won’t be dictated to by a manufacturer. “

I’ve never been dictated too by Apple because I’ve always had the choice not to use Apple products.

[Bernard Newnham] “an early adopter at one of the world’s greatest broadcasters”

A broadcaster which I believe is actually increasing it’s use of Macs and FCPX?

[Bernard Newnham] “What’s in it for you Bill, and all those other Apple cheerleaders here?
“

Reliable systems, fast NLE, great security, good ROI, excellent phones with very good camera, secure phone OS, AirPods, very useable smartwatches and a well connected ecosystem between them all.

Is that enough?

BTW this IS an FCPX forum, why are you surprised that people like Apple here 🙂

[Steve Connor]

I find Premiere to be very slow with Sony 4K files from their FS cameras, FCPX is much faster on my 2013 MBP with them.

I expected this to be fixed a while ago but from what I’ve heard it hasn’t!

[Joe Marler] “or nagging UI issues like the timeline jumping when applying color correction.”

Currently the most annoying “bug” in FCPX for me.

[Steve Connor]

So does this mean the forthcoming iMac with i9 should perform better as I assume the cooling in an iMac is more efficient?

[Steve Connor]

Brilliant!

[Herb Sevush] “I don’t think it too much to ask that an NLE designer actually know something about the “E” part of that word, something beyond what you could learn in the AV squad at High School. As Oliver pointed out, Randy was hardly unique in his ignorance, I was pointing him out because he was the subject of the interview. “

I’m very glad he was “ignorant” otherwise he might have created just another version of Avid.

[Michael Lescord] “I suddenly like FCPX again, but geez is it touchy.”

I don’t think it’s FCPX’s fault that it didn’t correct your mistake for you!
