Sadly there’s just no way I’m going to get there on Monday (maybe not at all.) I’ll be sorry to miss it. Have fun and please solve all our problems. Thanks.

There is no logic there to run a circuit. There are only observations. If there is coverage in the trades other than puff pieces (and, yes I read your links) I have not seen it. And if Apple had the slightest interest in high end post markets then they would be, in my opinion, making the most of the marketing opportunities in advance of the biggest production/post production show in the world. Don’t you think?
And if you do see a logic in my posts that you deem to be circular then I have to say that yours seems to me to be flat out byzantine.Tim

Craig, really. Apple has nothing to do with NAB so there’s nothing to report? Yes, Apple has nothing to do with NAB any longer. They don”t have anything to do with NAB because they do not want to have anything to do with NAB. It is Apple’s choice, not NAB’s. Just as it is Apple’s choice not to publicly ally itself with any broadcast or film workflow. If they chose to do so then that would be big news. What third parties do in the vacuum that is FCPX is of no consequence. As I said they are, in my opinion, out of this business. Nothing but direct action from Apple would convince me otherwise. So let’s talk again in a the next couple of weeks. That should tell everyone a lot.

Admittedly I do not read UK journals. Perhaps I should. The class citation is anecdotal at best. Show me something in TV Technology. Or any other publication reporting on what’s happening at NAB. Anyway, like Woodward, Bernstein and Bradlee, I stand by my story.

Sad though it may be I think you’re right, Chris. They just don’t seem to be in the mainstream of this business any longer. They do have a past reputation for coming out of nowhere and blowing other companies out of the water but I am really not feeling that this year. None of the broadcast/film publications that I read even mention FCPX (or Apple for that matter) even in passing. I think they are being foolish as a company with regard to this small but influential market. But, as my colleagues often point out, this is not the first time they have not listened to me. On the other hand they have amassed hundreds of billions of dollars in cash while not listening to me. From a business standpoint that is hard to argue with.

That’s a perfect place, and if I’m going to be there it’s going to be early in the week. I’ll let you know for sure. And thanks Bill for volunteering to be the advance guard.

I am still in the process of scheduling an upcoming job and trying to figure out if I can actually go to the show. But if I’m able to get there then I’d very much enjoy the opportunity to meet and discuss the state of things.

I doubt seriously that Apple or FCPX are being actively excluded from the Supermeet, if that’s what you’re saying. And they couldn’t very well just have something on their own without Apple’s blessing and permission.

I just read this and I am still laughing. How very precise.

At its present price point I would love for it to work. Who wouldn’t? But the reality is that for the vast majority of my work – just from a delivery standpoint and setting aside any other pecadillos – it just wouldn’t work for me. In this one narrow circumstance I thought it might. And it did, for the most part, nicely.
