Perhaps we’ll get an idea in a couple of hours? Larry Jordan thinks the “lid is getting blown off” today.

[Douglas K. Dempsey] “Who will it be? Oliver, care to move from Florida to Calif?
“

Hopefully not Robin or Bill, they would hardly change it all!

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “Again, apparently without understanding the alternatives — in my book the far superior ones — that X has to offer for the same tasks.”

I think you’ll find both myself and Oliver understand FCPX very well thank you

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “[Oliver Peters] “How about tabbed timelines”

In which way are tabs functionally any better than what it has now?
“

They might be more reliable than the random way that FCPX currently holds projects with the arrow keys?

[Robin S. Kurz] “[Oliver Peters] “PPro’s “pancake” timeline layout?”

To what advantage exactly? For what? Things like selects or B-roll timelines and the likes?
“

Yes, it’s a useful way to work sometimes

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “Okay, I’ll give you the timeline. So if they added that option… what else? What important interface magic would you perform other than that, that FCP is in such need of IYHO? 🙂 A a tilde key?? “

Just being able to save a custom workspace would be just fantastic 😉

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “But then having that (and various other areas) expand full screen without seeing the viewer seems pretty pointless anyway. “

Lots of use two screen, so you don’t think having a complex timeline full screen on one screen with a viewer full screen on another screen is any use?

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “Maybe savable workspaces. But other than that…
“

That would be a good start, it’s ridiculous that it doesn’t have it already. Premiere has a feature where if you hit the “tilde” key then that panel goes full screen, I use that a lot and it would be great to have in the FCPX timeline, especially as I find myself doing a lot more compositing in it.

[Steve Connor]

[Robin S. Kurz] “Good question. After 20+ responses and not a word from the OP, you really have to question his true motivation. Very trollish.
“

Maybe, but it’s actually been a very useful thread for people who are thinking about FCPX

[Steve Connor]

Why not buy a used nMP from eBay?

The first item at 9.00am says “Not sure when you can make it? Register and arrive when you can.” I assume this is it
