[Craig Seeman] “The “convenience” of having a device on my wrist is outweighed by the tiny screen.”
Exactly.
An email comes in………will people look at it on their tiny screen or phone?
It’s my understanding that you can not make a call from the watch without the phone near by. So you would have to have the phone with you anyway.
I thought it was going to be like, ‘I can leave my phone at home and go for a jog and still take a call”
That would make a little more sense, but if you have to jog with the phone anyway, seems like you will use it.
Just my take on it.

Have you guys that have downloaded noticed this…
Very… snappy. There have been some legitimate past gripes about slow/stuttery UI, memory leakage, slowdowns, and just general sluggishness with certain projects. In some cases even crusty old FCP 7 felt more responsive than X. Well, that is no more. Done.

The Watch looks really nice, but I still think it’s a little odd that Apple is pushing bigger screens for their phones because, I guess folks want bigger screens, and at the same time pushing this tiny screen watch. Why is this little screen on your wrist OK? : )
I think the watch will do well, but part of me feels that people will get tired of looking at the tiny screen and go for their bigger screen that’s in their pocket, or for that matter……..already glued to their hand.

Does it kind of stutter a little?
What I have found is that if the file size of my still that I’m using is too large it won’t be as smooth for me.
I don’t have a new tube so I just chalked it up to that, but I’m not sure.
I have used a ton of pics on my doc and most have been fine.

James, I tend to overlap my clips so that the move is hidden in the dissolve. If that makes sense.
I want the move already in motion under the other clip so that when the transition occurs you miss that kind of rough start.

I try to just make Neat the last thing I do. I might do a couple of clips but then uncheck the box in the inspector until the timeline is as close to locked as possible.

[Bret Williams] “Might be time for a clean reinstall of the OS and X. At least a trashing of your prefs.”
You might be right Bret. I have hesitated to do that until I finish this doc completely. I’m real close.
Let me give you a specific example of what it is doing.
Let’s say I have a photo in the timeline. I decide to resize it. The orange render bar will come up above it. If I wait for about 30 secs X will start to render that photo, even though I have not told it to and I have background rendering turned off. I don’t want it to do that. I don’t want it to render anything until I tell it to.
That’s how it worked before to my knowledge.
I would be interested to know what happens if you try my exact example.
Resize an item and see what it does.

To me, one of the main problems seems to be that after one of those updates, X started to render in the background on it’s own. Even when you have that unchecked in preferences.
From the beginning I had always turned that off and I didn’t notice any problems like this.
They need to fix that.
Other things might be causing issues also, but that is one thing I’m sure is a problem.
I used to go along cutting just fine, and when I wanted to take a break I would tell it to render. I remember it would render even faster then. I have not changed computers from the beginning (cheese grader)
I know that the plugin Neatvideo has issues. It will take forever to render and then after that, if you slide the clip left or right in the timeline you have to rerenader it. They are aware of it but haven’t done anything about it.

[Douglas K. Dempsey] “We have also tried it out on third parties, only to discover they don’t notice of don’t care, one way or the other. As I said, “not better, just different.””
Indeed Douglas. Would love to delve into the collaborative conflicts topic with you if you were n my town.. I have run into this myself, and I agree. Most people don’t even notice the small things you are battling over. They are just watching the show in front of them.

[Shawn Miller] “I think that had more to do with choreography and how Kill Bill was shot than Lucy Liu’s talent.”
I guess it’s hard to know right Shawn, because we didn’t see her talent.
You would think if she had some they would have used it.
That final fight scene in KB was very weak compared to Tiger
If I get some time later I will post both side by side
