[Bill Davis] “I’d parse that argument as essentially this…
THIS (insert topic) is what I currently have developed expertise about.
If you devalue my EXPERTISE, you devalue me. Whatever else you do – don’t devalue my expertise, because that means that going forward, I have to complete not on what I have already learned – but what I have to learn anew, and how fast I can learn it.
THAT, IMO is what actually pissed (and is still pissing people off) about the 2011 X introduction today.
And as I have long argued, conserving knowledge about what has worked well in the past is always valid, UNLESS there there turns out to be significant new advantages to be gained by adapting to a new way of thinking.”
I’m pretty sure that’s NOT it.

Doesn’t fix it I’m afraid. I’m editing the piece again, but thanks for trying
-
It did appear fixed, but for some reason the pitch is off! I’m replacing music tracks on the footage and the pitch and timing of the “reconverted” clip is different than the original.

Interesting – a 20 second multicam clip from the 23.98 sequence is 19.07 secs in the 25P sequence

[Jeremy Garchow] “My experience with these kinds of frame rate mishaps in FCPX is nothing short of a cluster bomb.
I think it would be best to start over, especially if you need to XML out to anything else.
“
I have already thanks Jeremy, I’m pretty sure the rate conform is ‘baked in” and can’t be undone. I’d love to be proved wrong though because if you can’t change it then it’s pretty stupid ‘feature”
At least you could choose to “conform” in previous versions
-
Doesn’t work I’m afraid, the clip from the 23.98 sequence still has the rate conform on it
-
So FCPX won’t let me switch “off” the rate conform after I’ve cut and pasted into the 25P sequence, even it’s just a single non-multicam clip?
I’m going to start re-edting my two days of work and hope someone can provide a “fix” I suspect, however it’s not possible

[Oliver Peters] “I don’t think the technology is cloud-dependent.
“Most of the machine learning tech I’ve seen so far is based in the cloud and not local

[Oliver Peters] “There’s actually a lot of work being done in computing circles on this sort of stuff under the banner of machine learning. This could be a hybrid of human and NLE sorting. For example, a human does the initial sort. The software analyzes what’s been done and “learns” the patterns. As you get deeper into it more becomes automatic or at least “pre-filtered” by the NLE. The software understands that you want more of X and therefore does it for you.”
I would be very wary of my NLE using the Cloud to “learn” patterns and take data from my footage and sorting, client confidentiality is an increasingly large issue.

[Simon Ubsdell] “And yes, I completely agree about the value of serendipity to the editing process – Serendipity is a truly genius editor and we do well to trust him/her.
In my experience, editing serendipity comes to your aid more effectively when you haven’t over-compartmentalised your material and/or your workflow. I have watched too many editors organise their material to death and lose all the random benefits of a looser organisational structure.
In a sense, my argument for better search is also an argument for more relaxed, less heavy-handed organisation.
