[Oliver Peters] “and have found it limiting and easy to miss things.”

Strangely enough I’ve found it to be exactly the opposite

[greg janza] “I make stringouts of all of my material to start and then use those stringouts to do all searches. It’s a very efficient system overall and it eliminates the need to organize or tag material.

Using the skimmer in the Browser in FCPX is exactly the same as having a stringout of ALL your material. I rarely tag or organise material in FCPX as it’s so quick to access all of the rushes

Frame them, hang them on the wall and call it art?

[Al LeVine] “FCP7, which is 32 bit, STILL runs on Sierra, and a handful of shows and post houses still use the software. Seems like Apple will stop silently supporting our old (rotting) friend in 2018.

Not a bad run at all, it’s probably a good time to say goodbye

[Tim Wilson] “So, what’s the delta between an 8-core Xeon and an EIGHTEEN core Xeon? (It’s also available as a 10 core).

The base configuration is also only for 8GB VRAM, not 16, and 32GB RAM, not 128. Buying four sticks of 32 ECC RAM from Kingston via Amazon will run you $1322 — surely only a fraction of what Apple will charge.

Then of course a 4TB SSD, up from the base config of 1TB — $1500 plus or minus at Amazon. So cranking up RAM, VRAM, and the drives will mostly double the $5000 starting price. I’m going to guess $8999? That’s a SKU I could sell with a straight face.

Heck, in a world with a $1000 iPhone, what’s a $9999 iMac? Nuthin’. Bring it.

Oh, and most important of all: you know it’s a pro machine because it has a 3.5mm headphone jac”

Don’t care – want one 🙂

HomePod is such an unimaginative name

[greg janza] “but then another app purchase needs to be made. Kind of a slippery slope if you want to think of FCPX as a bargain app.
“

Because Compressor is sooooo expensive 🙂

[andy patterson] “At $49.99 a month we are paying more and getting less. “

How are you getting less?

[Bill Davis] “[Andrew Kimery] “Making content is easier than ever. Distributing content is easier than ever. Garnering an audience and/or monetizing your content is whole other ball of wax.”

Lot of very reasonable observations in this post.
“

It’s a giant, house-crushing ball of wax!

Me too!
