You could try setting up a new user account on your system and seeing if that makes things work.

Does this still happen if you create a new library?

[Neil Goodman] “or works in such a small niche that he cant fathom why anyone would need something he does not because his needs are so simple. Completely baffling really, and sort of making these debates not fun anymore once he chimes in.”

I think most people on here only post opinions based on their own niches, small or otherwise. It’s up to you to decide the validity and relevance of peoples comments and if you really don’t like someone’s tone or comments then there is always the ‘ignore’ button. People are free to say what they want as long as it abides by COW rules

[Oliver Peters] “[Steve Connor] “So Avid’s NOT the only NLE where it’s users don’t want any change?”

Actually, if you’ve ever been to an Avid user event, you’ll find quite a lot of interest in change and improvement. Usually having to do with solving real-world problems..

It was meant to be a slight dig at the Avid users who start frothing at the mouth
whenever Avid try to change anything on the lovely 1990’s interface

So Avid’s NOT the only NLE where it’s users don’t want any change?

[Bill Davis] “The pace of innovation has screwed up the idea of depreciation so totally today. Spend $1500 on a nice drone today – and in 6 months better capabilities cost $500 – and the old unit is close to obsolete cuz it’s too big, too noisy, doesn’t run long enough, runs on the wrong batteries, and didn’t sell enough to guarantee a parts stream or whatever. Yes, it will still be perfectly useful. Great even. It just will feel “yesterday” to all who watch you operate it. “

That is true to some degree, though if you can’t make a $1500 outlay back in 6 months with profit on top then you shouldn’t make the investment.

Also every man and his dog is now offering drone filming so there’s lots of competition

[Bill Davis] “It’s almost as if they had a narrative that made them feel righteously indignant – and now nothing will move them off those feelings – even in the face of a new situation.

It’s a little weird.”

Yes it is Bill, it really is 🙂

[Tero Ahlfors] “Does this have anything to do with the FCP X debate?
“

Here you go….I find that FCPX plays back the 4K footage from the DJI Mavic Pro better than Premiere Pro on my system.

[James Sullivan] “I still argue it has a long way to go before it will be on top again.”

Not sure what “on top” even means, is it number of seats sold?

[Steve Connor]

[Bill Davis] “It’s at least as serious as most of the nearly useless debate in this thread.”

“Nearly useless” for people who aren’t interested in anything beyond FCPX.
