[Bill Davis] “Maybe we’ll get Siri tags someday. And some wag will set things up so a sneeze during X editing will trigger a “possible delay ahead, I’m getting sick” email sent to the client? “
Hey Bill, did you know that the videos on your website don’t work with El Capitan? The latest version has removed the old Quicktime plugin.
Just in case you hadn’t spotted it already!

[Joe Marler] “Premiere CC likewise does not instantly complete all import tasks for those media types — its “conforming” phase can take a little while. Very roughly I’d say it’s overall about equal to FCPX, although there is some variation from case to case.”
I find this as well, although importing 4K XAVC material into FCPX can be VERY slow. It’s worth it however as 4K XAVC in FCPX is much more responsive than in PPro

[Simon Ubsdell] “Not really worth responding to this, Bill, sorry. Have a great weekend.”
Nicely done, bet you end up responding to it though 🙂

Wow, that’s all I can say!

[Jeremy Garchow] “Plus skimming is not to be underrated here. Even when I’m not watching footage in real time, I am always watching the footage when skimming. I know there are other versions of this in other NLEs, but having two playheads (skimmer and playback) on the timeline in X is really really useful for me.”
For me the skimmer is the reason I keep coming back to FCPX, “hover scrub” in premiere is no match for it

[Bill Davis] “When Tom Carter put the audio tracks UP in the Honda Ad, – it freaked me out. I’d never seen that before. But he’s young. He didn’t know he shouldn’t – so he did it naturally – and won every award in sight because his editing thinking was FAR less constipated than mine. “
So are you saying FCPX can enable people to make better edits?
Should we move the discussion from speed to quality?

[Tim Wilson] “Because they’re RIGHT. Apple DIDN’T design X for them. Apple designed X for somebody else.”
Yes they did, they designed it for Bill

[Joe Marler] “How broad — functionally — is the scope of the performance comparison, and how does it vary based on project size and complexity?
“I think this is an argument that begs to be quantified, but is in fact broadly unquantifiable.

[Scott Witthaus] “I am working on Premiere today and I surprised myself in finding some things I really like over X.”
Tilde key expanding the currently focussed panel to full screen is awesome, great to be able to get a full screen timeline immediately. I’ve already sent that as a feature request to Apple

I’m really hoping that the next PPro release will have better XAVC handling.
