[Mark Raudonis] “Look down the index and see Marco’s review of Fairlight audio mixing suite. This is starting to turn heads and raise eyebrows. I’m just saying. Y’all better start framing the FCP debate as a FOUR WAY horse race: FCP, PPRO, AVID, and now Resolve.
“

Yes but Resolve still has those “turn of the century” tracks, with all the clip collisions and track patching problems that plagued us all for years……apparently

[Steve Connor]

Looking forward to seeing this

[Charlie Austin] “My point in this post was to compare the contents of the new Pr title panel, which I like, to the contents of the FCP X title templates, which I also like. What you’re suggesting really has nothing to do with that. “

I’m impressed your even bothering with this

[Steve Connor]

I think Apple should be linking to this on their FCPX page 🙂

[Jeremy Garchow] “One of the great features of FCPX to select an Event or Events and simply peruse all of the footage.

This has generated more ideas, at least for me, than string outs.
“

On a lot of projects in FCP I do both, I really miss FCPX’s browser when I work in PPro

[Simon Ubsdell] “Sequence-focused editing is an ideas generator.”

Nice!

[Bill Davis] “If the hive mind agree henceforth that a Kid using Premiere to match a 2 camera switch, and a dedicated Baselight artist are all “finishing.” – then we we have no disagreement here.”

Hive mind? just because everyone disagreed with your post?

Everybody here knows that finishing is changing and you can “finish” on pretty much any NLE but you said

“But it’s also true that “finishing” is changing. And worse, becoming less and less relevant in the modern era. ”

It’s the “less and less relevant” bit that everyone disagreed with.

[Claude Lyneis] “My modest goal is to reach a million views on Youtube, 815 k at the moment and I find quality translates to views.”

Sometimes, but one of the Channels I have got nearly 4.5 million views with this simple clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16ti9GwnlVs

[Joe Marler] “I don’t quite understand this. Netflix and Amazon ARE web-based TV, IOW, “new media”. Netflix is spending $6 billion per year just on new content, and in 2016 got 54 Emmy nominations. Amazon’s biggest series is Grand Tour (a new media production), reportedly budgeted at $5.8 million per episode. To me, that is “Web TV” making significant inroads.
“

I should have said YouTube TV 🙂

[Bill Davis] “But it’s also true that “finishing” is changing. And worse, becoming less and less relevant in the modern era.
“

Less relevant for who? Broadcasters? Movie Producers? I’m not sure it’s true in those sectors at all

[Bill Davis] “This tells me that anyone who clings too strongly to the classic production modes of yesterday is making a dangerous decision (in my opinion.) The traditional production process still works just fine today. It creates excellence. It leverages expertise built over long hard work. But if you don’t understand that there are NON traditional production processes nipping at the traditional ones heels – you’re delusional. “

I’ll mention that the next time I’m chatting with the owner of Molinaire in London, a very well known finishing house, I think he might disagree with you

[Bill Davis] “Basically, only a tiny sliver of the MOST highly conditioned professionals can discern the visual and audio differences between that young YouTubers work – and a high dollar professional production companies work.”

I’m pleased to be in that tiny sliver who can spot the difference between good and great

[Bill Davis] “So do NOT get complacent about this stuff.

Do NOT think that what you (or I) know now, is what’s going to be what you need to know tomorrow.
“

Absolutely right, but that’s been true over the last few decades too.

I understand what you are trying to say Bill, Web TV is changing all the models at an astonishing pace but there at the moment it’s all still in ADDITION to traditional Broadcast and Film and it shows no sign of making any significant inroads in this area.

For me the biggest disruptors in the industry are Netflix and Amazon and they have VERY high production quality in their output, which I’m assuming, is still made with “traditional” finishing.
