[Bill Davis] “Yeah, I should start posting over in the Premiere Forums about my edits and how much wickedly faster so many database driven operations and auditions and Roles exports makes repetitive work in X.

I’m sure it will be received in the spirit of open discussion and the free flow of ideas to help everyone improve.

And certainly not seen as any sort of crass X promotion.
“

Sadly Bill, I think you may be the ONLY person left on here who imagines it’s an FCPX only forum. There actually IS an FCPX only forum on here which I can’t help noticing that you hardly ever post on?

Perhaps some of your excellent insight on FCPX would be warmly received there as well?

And if we’re talking about crass promotion, I can’t help noticing that every post of yours has a short ad for your product on your sig?

[Simon Ubsdell] “Another great article from Oliver that takes us behind the scenes of his preferred custom layouts for Premiere Pro:

https://digitalfilms.wordpress.com/2017/08/17/customize-premiere-pro-with-w...

“There are certainly plenty of other ways you can configure a workspace to suit your style. Some Premiere Pro editors like to use the secondary screen to display the timeline panel fullscreen. Or maybe use it to spread out their audio track mixer. Hence the beauty of Adobe’s design – you can make it as minimal or complex as you like. There is no right or wrong approach – simply whatever works to improve your editing efficiency.”
“

Well to be fair PPro’s endlessly tabbed, twirldowned and tiny interface really NEEDS the ability to customise it 😉

“I’m just one voice articulating that working WITHOUT that external stuff can sometimes be AS EFFICIENT as working with it.

It’s just another idea to consider.”

Obviously depending on the work you do and most people here who argue against your “a laptop is all I need” postings are possibly doing very different work to you.

[Herb Sevush] “Cherry picking instances where one NLE is slightly faster than another is pointless. If you need to be in the optimum efficient NLE for every single aspect of your work then I suggest you get comfortable using 8-10 different NLEs on every project. The question is can you efficiently get all of your work done in the ecosystem of a given NLE – if the answer is yes, then it doesn’t matter if that ecosystem uses plug-ins or dynamic links or any other way to connect the various tools you need to complete your work.”

Unless, of course, you want to be pedantic about it 🙂

[andy patterson] “I am hip but as far as I know you don’t have the drawing tools and inner and out strokes as well as beveled edges. If FCPX can do all that could you please to a demonstration video? I would appreciate it.
“

Please don’t – we’ve done this one already.

Also, for some PPro doesn’t seem to playback 4K very well on anything but the fastest Mac Pros, well not in my experience anyway. However I’ve found the same Macs will playback 4K very smoothly in FCPX even with CC applied.

Might be easier to get a PC

[andy patterson] ” I am saying FCPX should have a decent titling system of it’s own.”

It does, it only seems to be you criticising it on here

[Steve Connor]

[andy patterson] “With Premiere Pro I can make my own titles, mask and mattes real easy.”

I was replying to your comment about the STOCK titles in FCPX.

With Motion I can make my own Titles, masks and mattes real easy too and easily use them in FCPX

[Steve Connor]

[andy patterson] “and 80% of the canned titles included in FCPX are a tad bit cheesy to say the least.
“

As they are in the new Titler in Premiere Pro

[Steve Connor]

I assume many of us here use FCPX every day and are very happy with it as well. Doesn’t make very interesting reading though.

Although I’m sure you’ll get at least one post pointing out you could do the same thing in Premiere Pro too 🙂
