Walter good information.
question, i notice that many of these plug-ins say they work in X, Motion and After Effects.
Can they also work in PPr’s timeline, or do you have to go to AE to use them only?
I do like the ability to use them right in the X timeline. I find that convenient

[craig slattery] “I predict that this argument will be obsolete in two years, because all the systems will have adopted their own version of the magnetic timeline.”
This was my prediction also when I first started using X
I thought others would have a track version and then a copy cat X version to try to capture both markets.
I must admit I underestimated people’s willingness to continue to use a 32 bit program.
I thought more people would jump to SOMETHING 64 bit, be it ppr, X or newer version of Avid, but it seems many people have stood still. They are using their same 7 or their same Avid.
Hey, it’s working for them and they feel at home with it. I thought more people hated that render bar as much as I did.Many people have moved, just not as many as I thought would. I think many feel trapped. They want 64 but they have heard or just don’t like X and some don’t want to learn a new program so they have just not moved.
My other prediction was that X would be helped by the bandwagon effect from third party plugin companies.
FxFactory and others have been all over X, as well they should. They just care about selling their products and they see that huge X market. ( like if you are going to sell phone apps you are looking at the iPhone kind of thing)
Third party apps are making X stronger and stronger and even funner to work with.
They also seem to be leading with X all the time. Their demos start off with “i’m in FCP X, but these also work in After Effects instead of the other way around.

Many of today’s young film goers just don’t appreciate great films like we did when I was coming up.
My parents would say “this is a great film” and we watched it because we respected their view, and it would be a great film.
I can’t tell you how many 20 somethings have told me they won’t watch black and white.
Think about that for a minute……………some of the greatest films ever made (a few on that list) are b/w
THAT’S one of the reasons you have so much crap out there, because too many people are happy to see crap.

Well said, that’s why I show up to the schools and talk to kids about a career in TV or them following their dreams.
If I reach one child it’s worth it : )

Hey there Jeremy, good to hear from you.
I saw that story and I thought…………dang, dude is 4 years from 60 and still breaking into houses.
You see young folks lost trying to find their way, then someone like this who has wasted a lifetime. Sad
LL, no security needed.

[Bret Williams] “Now, I just adjust the volume of the clip right in the track while it’s playing. I can even MOVE a clip while it’s playing. I can even ADD KEYFRAMES while it’s playing. I can add a RANGE and lower the volume of that area while it’s playing, eithe by hand, or by keyboard shortcuts. I can see the waveforms of each track adjust as I make changes. So, no, I don’t have a little window with audio sliders and all the pretty meters going. What I have instead is direct, in the timeline live manipulation of volume and filters “
I could have written this myself Bret

These folks don’t have shame so you can’t shame them John : )
What you might want to do is go buy the outside spray that you hook up to a hose. The kind that covers their smell and also has a smell they don’t like.
Once a dog marks their spot they keep coming back so the spray is good.
You won’t have to do the whole yard (you may have your own dog) just the part near the sidewalk.
People are not for the most park going to walk their dog all the way into the middle of your yard.
Spray it, and be done with it.
Good luck.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “ie vast archival resources that are on tape.”
This makes sense. There is a ton of old footage still on beta and other tape formats.
Wescam offers Red and HD files also so I’m thinking much of their new stuff they shoot would be file.
What will folks do with all their tape when they stop making those beta machines at some point.
Shouldn’t people start digitizing their stuff for the long run?

[alban egger] “The Hobbit, shot on two REDs in a 3D rig.”
This is an excellent post Alban.
I have pondered this front the beginning. When I think of big time Hollywood projects, Who is shooting that stuff on tape?
We don’t even use tape in my smaller market anymore.
When X first came out I thought the knock from Hollywood would be weather or not this product could handle 5k footage well, and if it couldn’t they would say it’s not ready.
I didn’t imagine people saying it’s not ready because it’s looking past the old technology of tape.
(that’s not to imply that’s all folks are saying about it not being ready, I’m just talking about the tape thing)When I think of tape, I think of someone stuck with old equipment because they don’t have the budget to keep up. I don’t think of top end.
