Truer words were never posted.”

There’s a button for that now

[Herb Sevush] “OK, so show me the error of my ways. From within FCPX can you select a section of your timeline and send those clips to Motion, with their in and outpoints preserved, for further compositing? that is a requirement for a bi-directional work flow, something that has been available in many NLE’s for over 15 years.
“

Of course you can’t Herb and many of us would rather you could, there is some excellent integration in other ways but sadly it lacks this very basic ability which is odd as the other integration seems to be much more complex

If their path is Film and TV then it’s Avid first without a doubt

[Bill Davis] “Shooting out if state starting in 3 days and too busy to play much – so I’ll let Charlie Austin say it for me… https://fcpxpert.net/2016/02/05/fcp-x-update-reaction-have-some-cheese-with...”

I’d like Apple to CONTINUE the innovation they started when they released FCPX, I want them to go further down the path of redefining what an NLE is, I don’t want them to add “old” features back in, I want new exciting features and if that’s whining then so be it.

[Bill Davis] “I love added features. But right now – with lots of work in the queue – and LOTs of pulls on my time, dependability beats added features.
“

OK it’s dependable now, perhaps they should just stop developing it then Bill? Because if reliability is as it should be then adding features is that’s left to do!

[Oliver Peters] “Either this means a big update is just around the corner or that FCPX has moved into stasis mode. If the latter, then Apple feels it’s largely feature-complete and all the engineers have moved over to making a car OS.
“

I think the next update will tell us a lot. Logic Pro development seems to be continuing at a pace, that certainly hasn’t been put into stasis mode.

[Bret Williams] “Well at least they gave the intern something to do.”

I’m hoping for “Post to Instagram” next

[Steve Connor]

[Jeremy Garchow] “That’s what I do, yep.

If you have newer Macs with the PCIe SSD, go for it.

“

It definitely speeds the timeline up

[Steve Connor]

[Tony West] ” Like, you couldn’t turn the magnetic timeline off.”

Just for fun we could resurrect that argument 🙂

Hopefully there will be a refresh, not a discontinuation. Still with iPhone sales peaked, they might put the focus back on to their computers 🙂
