As opposed to IDKWTFISGON syndrome. To spell it out this is “I don’t know what the f*** is going on” syndrome. I deal with this every day of my life these days. Jeez – talk about not wanting to learn.

Not only Craig’s List but also “creative editor.” In my experience that is a phrase of which you need to be aware.

If you have the time to spend then trying to figure out why an ant goes left rather than right (or vice versa) becomes a valid question.

Bill,
While I certainly agree with you that X exists for one reason and one reason only I am afraid we differ on the reason. From my perspective X exists to harvest an infinitely larger profit pool. Is that the future? I don’t know. Neither do you. You seem to regard editing as as some sort of dark age secret that has been protected by evil guilds for low these many years. And that X has somehow set editing free. Time will tell. But editing has not been as you say “untethered.” Practically speaking we are tethered to our clients and also tethered to telling a story. And in both those respects X does not work for a great many people at the moment, despite all your (completely speculatory) claims that X is the future.

I also also loved that I could grab anything from the timeline in MC, throw in up in the source monitor and use it as such. Very handy and often a big time saver.

No, you’re not alone. I find it immensely useful and miss it very much when I’m on other systems.

[Bill Davis] “my billings are typically related to the size and scope of the problem I’m addressing. My billings are based on my capabilities, learning, and accumulated experience”
And how, exactly, is that any different from the concept of billing for time? What if the client differs from your valuation of your capabilities, learning, and accumulated experience? And how do you codify that in a bill? How many times do clients ask you “how long will this take?” How may times do you ask yourself that question in trying to schedule your time? I bill my time based on intangibles as well. But I still bill for my time. Even if it’s a flat rate there is an understanding that that flat rate will only take up so much of my time. If it wasn’t that way then jobs could go on indefinitely. To say that time doesn’t fit into the billing equation is incomprehensible to me.

Most people understand subtlety not at all.

No, you could not. But that’s more due to broadcasters than SMPTE. Nonetheless I remove you from the SMPTE enemies list in perpetuity (if we could only find the damned thing.)
