The project libraries were getting above 4Tb in size with 8 and 6K red footage and some proxy prores files, and each time we imported a new file or just opened the project it slowed to a crawl and took nearly an hour to become functional. Adobe tech support told us to cut the libraries down and just work from proxies, but relinking to the original files became nearly impossible. Admittedly, if we just worked from the prores files, premiere was fine and the new bin locking function is really interesting as it will allow us to work as a team on larger projects.
We edit on nearly all programs – avid, premiere, fcpx and resolve – whichever is the best tool for the job and more often than not with an honest evaluation we are using fcpx and resolve more often.

However, once the files are imported into fcpx (sometimes an overnighter) it has been waaaaay faster and snappier than premiere for us – mostly due to the issues that premiere has when working on projects with large libraries of r3d and high resolution material. Importing one jpeg was bringing premiere to a halt – tech support just advised to make the project smaller or cut it into chunks…not very Pro.

I believe there were some previews of the updates to FCPX that were due to be released soon, but all of that was under strict NDA at the apple headquarters….

If you can give us a really good price for this one, we will definitely be getting so much more work done with you in the future.

I thought that too. It’s almost a direct copy – could there be a buyout on the cards and this will be bundled into a new iOS?

Yes, I guess that’s maybe premature, but for the vast majority of video producers, the toolset of pixelmator pro will be more than enough for them when linked with resolve or fcpx.

There’s a massive amount of post for TV in the U.K. completed on older dual boot Mac Pro systems that run fcp7, avid and resolve.

Matte box. Looks exactly like the matte box screws that always fall out whenever we are travelling to a shoot.

Just 1080p prores 422HQ – admittedly it’s a large library, and although each source clip can be up to 40 mins long, the selection in the project window is usually less than 3 minutes per clip.
