Evan, just wanted to drop in and tell you that I appreciated the segment you did in front of that window that evening : )
Really man, you are a talented brother and at the time I didn’t know of anyone that had your experience (and film credits) saying anything positive about X to the extent you did that night.
I also appreciate your response on here and update on what you have been doing.
It might not have come to you the way you preferred, but the way I see it, it gave you a chance to rise to the occasion and the questions, which I think you did quite well.As did Liz BTW (that’s how I would have handled that. Put a name on it or else how do I know you didn’t just make that up) If you are going to make that type of accusation about somebody man up with your name. She even said they could contact her privately.
Sometimes we can find positives in things that we first see as totally negative.
I was curious myself as to what you were up to. Not so much that I would take the time to call or write you. Thanks to this thread I’m not anymore.
I look forward to you in a window again : )

That looks amazing

[Steve Connor] “plus gas is over $10 a gallon!”
I thought about that also.
I would like to get over there sometime for a visit. It would be cool.

That’s awesome Steve : )

[James Ewart] “Not in the UK.. other way round.”
ha, I wondered where they all went : )
It’s interesting to see the contrast though.
So like if you went into say, a BMW dealership the 5 series models would be mostly sticks?
It’s funny how different we are. You would be hard pressed to find a stick over here on a showroom floor.

[James Ewart] “Another vote for the automatic. Changing gear manually is somewhat tedious.”
hehehe I drove a stick for years and loved it, until I moved on a street that has a gazillion stop signs.
It got old real fast : )
Really though, it’s a good analogy because have you notice………..it’s very hard to find a car with a stick these days. Even a sports car.
Heck, it was getting hard 20 years ago when I got mine.
My dad had us learn to drive a stick so we could drive most any vehicle.
I’m glad I learned on tracks. If I ever need to go back.
I’m sure folks who like tracks don’t want it to go the way of the stick. Hard to find.
Folks who like X don’t want to go back to tracks.
If both groups could be assured somehow they could keep what they wanted there might be a little less tension ; )

[Gary Huff] “I don’t have a problem worrying about overwriting clips already in the timeline.”
now now Gary, you know that’s not what he was saying.
He wasn’t talking about clips already in the timeline.
He was talking about first putting something in the timeline and selecting the track that you put it in.
You don’t do that step in X
There is no track to select. That’s what makes it different than before.
-
[Gary Huff] “No.”
Come on now Gary, you know you have to pick a track at some point.
That’s the whole argument over tracks and connected clips.
If they were exactly the same this forum wouldn’t be here.

[Charlie Austin] “Setting all the other pros and cons of X vs. other NLE’s aside, the biggest advantage of X to me as an editor is that essentially the only decision you have to make before performing an edit, is creative:”
This is one of the best descriptions of the process I have seen Charlie. It’s simple and I believe accurate.
When I’m working with X I’m not even really thinking about the software that much. I’m thinking about the story and how I’m gonna arrange it.
I’m thinking about the creative part, which is the fun part for me.
Even when I have to fix something (sound or look), which I consider the technical part I have not really had any problems doing that.

[Herb Sevush] “Nowadays I wait until my clients force me to change, much to the relief of my accountant.”
I hear you on this line Herb.
I hope to run with my f3 for a couple of years longer : )
Cards are in the post season again (yay) and so far I saw one guy with a Red down there. Didn’t get a chance to ask him who he was shooting for but I’m thinking MLB
It seems to be coming on in sports lately. I heard talk of the Rams going Red and saw an article about CBS looking at 4k to blowup replays for the Super Bowl.
The NFL has money to burn. I think there is at least one other team that is gong with the f5
Teams do their own in-house stuff now and then hand it to FOX and say ‘air this”
I’m thinking they might be happy to see that tube
While ESPN is pretty much done with 3D
