[Bill Davis] “Okay, here you go.
Over the last 5 years, I’ve seen dozens and dozens of editors like you make the same journey you’re making right now.
I’d describe them as very experienced editors who come to X with long, hard won experience in the industry.
They generally all make exactly the same observations you’re making – at the point you’ve reached in your progression.
And to a one, after more time – they all generally STOP doing what you’re doing – which is wasting their time trying to make X meet the conditions of their prior expectations, rather than to learn to work the way X was designed to work.
When they do that – everything changes. They stop fighting it and learn that suddenly what X is RIGHT NOW is making their editing faster and more enjoyably than they’ve ever experienced before. . Sure, they still have wants and preferences that X is not fully meeting. But almost to a one – they are TOTALLY unwilling to give up what they have – to regain what they used to think was the most important things about how their prior workflows operated.
You have ever right to complain and push back and fight how X works (or doesn’t work) and how that fits with how you currently think. But it doesn’t change the fact that I’ve seen guys just like you get frustrated after six months – go back to their other preferred NLEs for even MONTHS – and then after long projects, finally give in and come running back to X.
Because it’s an exceptional, modern super-efficient editing system after you actually stop fighting it and learn enough about how it actually works.
Yes, you WILL eventually come around to it. Or you won’t. But the difference isn’t actually the program. It’s the users attitude.
Just what you were looking for in a response, right? ; )
There you go.”
Told ya!
