I was just curios about this and being so dependent on the net with the edit.
For example, it’s post season baseball and you are set up in the TV compound and on the truck wifi but so are most folks on the crew. They are all taxing the truck wifi jumping on it at the same time with their phones or what ever.
Its one thing to cut in your work place where you have full control, but out in the field….. just seems like that could be a problem.

Steve, what happens if internet connection is slow?
Does it slow down the edit?

Yeah, this is the part that matter to me
[Walter Soyka] “It was bad at animated stills “

[Franz Bieberkopf] ”
I’m not convinced the implementation of stills in FCP 7 is necessarily a result of 32 bit limits. I think it’s just a poor implementation. I’d be interested if you know otherwise (speculation aside).”I’m not sure either Franz, I’m just glad to not have to deal with it anymore.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “It’s important to remember too that speed isn’t a priority in all work. Some will have other priorities.”
Indeed,
I thought you were asking for specific tasks that would make working with a 64 bit program faster than that of a non 64 bit program.
I thought I was answering that with the example of a still because in a doc (as you also discussed) folks use a great deal of pics. Having to look at that red bar slows things down.
I’m not really trying to convince you.
At the end of the day I’m gonna use what I want to use and so will others. I was just trying to answer your question.

[Richard Herd] “On small projects, there is no need for keywording because there is nothing to keep track of. The larger the project gets the better X is at doing what it does best. Strike that, what it is designed to do. I see the confusion is that “best” can be construed as “better than PP” or “better than Avid.” But I’m talking about the best feature of X is its keywording.”
I agree here Richard.
For me, I don’t see a better use for X than a documentary.
1. Skimmer lets you fly throughout tons of footage.
2. tagging helps you find surf quickly
3. In many doc you are constantly making moves on pics and that KB set up is fast
4. In a doc it’s not scripted so you may get whole section complete and then find another interview and have to make room for it. That timeline lets you pic up whole sections in a simple drag and just drop it in.People always talk about building. For me it’s the corrections that really fly. When you have to go back into the edit to make changes. That timeline is made for that.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “First, the review (still needed in 2014) of the benefits of 64bit:”
For me, it’s pretty simple. In Legacy, if you were cutting, say a doc and just grab a photo and drug it into the timeline you would have to wait and render that.
I don’t in X I just keep working.
If I were a producer and I was paying by the hour and handed somebody a bunch of photos and sat there waiting for the render, I would walk out of the edit : )
In X you can hover over an effect to show the client what something is going to look like before you add it.
Those are just the simple things

It kind of seems like the market place would determine speed, at some point.
If a client is paying by the hour, and they are paying more because a editor is using a program that is not 64 bit, seems like they would complain. Or just go someplace else.
I can see if they don’t have anything to compare it to, but at this point there are plenty of houses with choices.

Thanks for the review Herb.
I saw that and wondered about it.

Very cool, but how about a shout out to the videographer : )
It starts with great footage.
They handled the exposure well also from inside to outside.
