I’ve actually used much buggier software from both Avid and Adobe in the past.”

I’m sorry but that was what I’ve got from your earlier statement above.
Aren’t you saying that FCPX is much better than other NLE releases?
And aren’t you advocating the use of this software as it is?”

I am saying that FCPX, as it stands, is less buggy than MANY other releases of Premiere, Avid and even FCP Classic, I am saying that I have been happy to try it out, so have many others but I WOULDN’t recommend it for everyone.

Is that clear enough?

[Christian Schumacher] “OK, very strong argument you have there…

Just because sometime in a decade ago there were buggy NLEs
we’re supposed to embrace all buggyness now and just go for a V1 software ?

Yeah, that’s a sound advice….not!
“

Yes thats just what I’m saying, you’re not missing the point at all.

No I said I wouldn’t recommend EVERYONE try it, I like change and relish a challenge, that doesn’t mean anyone who doesn’t is wrong.

I’ve made a measured decision to use it for paying work. If it lets me down or it throws up any major roadblocks I’ll stop using it, so far it hasn’t. I’ve enjoyed learning it and finding what it is capable of and for me in most respects it’s faster than FCP7

I’ve actually used much buggier software from both Avid and Adobe in the past.

[James Bayliss-Smith] “Okay so HDV is optimized to work with Final Cut Pro Natively? I thought that was a bad idea as the codec does not take well to adding effects. Is this resolved by FCPX rendering portions of ‘projects’ with effects applied to them to ProRes? I don’t really understand thos anyone fancy explaining it in basic terms.
“

Import in HDV codec, work in a ProRes project, all renders will be to Prores as will the master you output. There is NO benefit at all to transcoding to Prores before editing.

[Christian Schumacher] “It seems obvious by now that people using FCPX for paid jobs
are using it as a tool for cutting small DSLR projects onto their laptops.
“

Obvious to you perhaps but not exactly true. I’ve been using it for a number of projects, large event documentaries for DVD release shot on XDCam422, Corporate and Promotional films for blue chip companies like IBM shot on XDCam and Sony F3’s. None of which were cut on a laptop.

and yes it is a beta because it’s a V1 programme, ALL V1 programmes are betas including PPro and Avid, I wouldn’t recommend everyone tried it.

Next month I’m starting a feature on it.

[Jeremy Garchow] I’m sorry if you think I am approaching Godwin and his law, I don’t really know what it has to do with this.

How about refraining from typecasting people who don’t jump at every new little thing immediately out of the gate?

And maybe others could refrain from ridiculing people who put ideas up for discussion?

After a lengthy set of extremely funny sushi analogies which I’ve enjoyed immensely, I’ve spent some time roundtripping from FCPX to Resolve today and it works extremely well.

For us small band of FCPX users this is BIG, for me it takes some of the sting of not having a broadcast monitor out, because Resolve does, so I now have it when I really need it.

(Sorry couldn’t think of any fish related humour to make this point!)

The horse isn’t dead, in fact it’s just a Pony, some of us think it’s worth the time and effort to help it become a racehorse. 🙂
