But don’t you miss the exercise?

Walk across the room to switch tapes in the decks.

Walk over to the still store.

Walk over to the character generator

Walk over to the copy cam stand.

Oh, one of these decks is not working. Pull it out of the rack and carry in another one and cable it up.
Remember holding that deck while trying to line up those rack rails. You didn’t need the gym.

I guess I will have to get my workout on my mountain bike these days

: )

[Bill Davis] “Have we revealed a schism in the church of pro editing?

It sounds like some editors here are “Preparationists” who spend significant time working with their source material before they hit the timeline.”

It’s a good point Bill.

This has been a good thread. Really shows how different everybody works. I think it’s also a credit to X
and it’s improvements because this thread is mostly about taste and style.

Many of these NLE’s have similar features but they are not exactly the same. There are differences in how they handle the same task.

It’s those little differences that folks make their choice on sometime.

[Tony West]

Thanks Phil, I did the same it so far so good.

Thanks for getting back.

[Tony West]

I like it Brett, thanks for putting it up.

[Tony West]

I have had this exact problem myself Phil. First time I found anyone who had had it.

[Mark Dobson] “I too have found the new behaviour really frustrating. I would really like there to be an on-off switch for the new persistent ranges feature. Whilst I’m happy for the developers to improve the functionality of the software it really annoys me that one has to unlearn previous workflows that one has developed to work within the previous confines.”

[Mark Dobson] “am still struggling to get back up to speed.”

I could have wrote this myself Mark.

I get why folks wanted it this way, but I had it down and could fly once I adapted to it.
I’m not alone : )

[Aindreas Gallagher] “They need to persuade broad groups that it is viable and advantageous.”

Agreed.

I had a couple of documentary directors over the other day to lay down some VO

I’m showed them some things on X before we got started.

One said to me “I’ve heard nothing but bad things about it but I’ve never laid eyes on it until now”

They both were pretty impressed with the tagging and what not. They both can cut a little but not like you.

I could see them starting a doc in X and then trying to take it to somebody like you are some of these other talented folks on here.

[Tony West]

That footage and cut looks beautiful brother.

It’s kind of ironic though, it’s much like the theme of the first video Apple did to intro X

Alexa, and crane car shots.

I like yours better, but to tell you the truth, if I didn’t know I would have no idea what that was cut on,
unless you told me.

[Tony West]

Thanks for the link Rafael!

I watched both parts of it.

I have had my eye on the F3 for a while now. Was looking to make the move in the spring until this stupid hockey lockout came along : (

That GH3 really made me take notice though.

The F3 reminds me of what I love about my ex1r, just better.

It’s a lot of money to put down though : /

If I ended up getting the F3, the GH3 would make a great second camera.

[Tony West]

Jim that footage looks great.

Can you see that camera having you sit a 5d on the shelf?

It’s amazing the cameras that keep hitting the market and the prices of them.

I work with the 370 from time to time but the images of this little camera look cleaner to me, and the 370 cost almost 10 times the money

What are your thoughts on the VF? Is there a peaking option?
