I’d be very interested to read more about music video workflows in FCPX, I’ve edited quite a few low budget music videos with it. I usually put the music track in the primary and edit picture and spot fx in secondary storylines, for me it’s one case where the magnetic timeline isn’t a major benefit. As Oliver mentioned though, multicam is VERY useful as is auditioning.

[Robin S. Kurz] “So the, until now, mere 3 to max 4 months (with one exception) between updates, i.e. over 20 in just five years weren’t enough for that already? Wow. Okay.
“

No it wasn’t Robin, I was getting to the point where I almost ran out of Kool-Aid, should have asked for some of your plentiful supply of it really.

Has it got to the point where someone posts a COMPLIMENT to the FCPX team and you still have to charge in with a snide comment?

[Robin S. Kurz] “[Steve Connor] “but full screen on the tilde key is something I used a lot so might give it a miss for a bit longer!”

So why not simply open the Command Editor and map it?

I was talking about when I use Premiere Pro not FCPX

[Scott Witthaus] “My favorite new bug is when I use the tilde key to make the source side monitor full screen, it will not go back to it’s normal spot. Rather the video stays centered behind the record monitor. Loads of time wasting fun that was not there in earlier versions.”

Haven’t used it since the recent updates (Because of the FCPX Update ☺) but full screen on the tilde key is something I used a lot so might give it a miss for a bit longer!

[Scott Witthaus] “that’s one of my biggest complaints even today with the interface: cluttered jumble of edit-hieroglyphics.”

To be fair, with a little customisation it is possible to make PPro’s interface look a little cleaner.

[Bill Davis] “Building expertise in packing more and more capability in less and less physical space. That seems kinda fundamentally smart to me.”

But in some ways there’s LESS capability as you have to add external devices to replace the connectivity that’s been lost.

[Oliver Peters] “It’s hard to follow the threading here.
“

Start a new one?

[Bill Davis] “See you all later. G’nite.”

Hope you enjoyed “The Roast of Bill Davis” 🙂

[Bill Davis] “Plenty of evidence in THIS precise thread that just saying anything positive about X still results in a mighty backlash about all its flaws. “

Not really a “mighty backlash” Bill, usually no worse than your backlash when someone points out a missing feature in FCPX.

There’s a lot of very interesting and positive discussion on here about FCPX from people with a whole range of workflows.

[Andrew Kimery] “I used one of the last versions of Premiere (not Pro) and compared to FCP it was crap”

I think you’re being too kind to Premiere in calling it “crap”!
