For the most part I’m showing them a completed product. Sound, color, music, everything.
I’m prepared for them to make changes, but I feel I’m being hired for my creative vision so that’s what I’m giving them.
Side note, that’s what made me really like X in the first place. It fits my style of showing completed work because that far into it, if they want changes you are moving a lot more pieces around.

[Oliver Peters] “To my knowledge (and I could be wrong), there is no source source-side correction in X for a browser clip.”
You just select “open clip” and you can correct that source clip. It’s fast and easy.

Awesome work Jeremy.
Powerful and emotional. I was so caught up in the story I almost forgot about the camera hahaha
I love that shot when the coach gives the player five and then you cut to his interview. Just a nice transition.
The Osmo shots fit in well and match the other cameras. I’m sold : )

[Jeremy Garchow] “My projects average between 1 – 4TB of media.”
That’s a lot of media. I can totally see a how a 4TB project could bog down. No wonder I’m not seeing it. I think the highest I have been is maybe 1TB. I’m surprised that X was ever instantly plowing through that size.
I hope they fix it on the next update.
BTW, what are your thoughts on the quality of the Osmo Pro? I seeing more folks with them.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I now leave the machine on overnight after I import. It’s the only way to come back to a normal performing NLE.”
Wow! That sounds like a disaster. I would be ready to through my system out the window.
One thing that I have seen with my own eyes is X acting very different sometimes on the same model computers,
same OS and some footage. So I know it happens.Just trying to narrow it down a bit. (Apples to Apples)
I’m using mostly XDCAM footage at 1080 around 40GB of at a time, X 10.3.4 OS 10.11.06 I leave footage in place on Import.
My computer is 8 years old so I shouldn’t be getting better performance than people with newer Macs. Something is wrong.

[Oliver Peters] “You usually can’t effectively review a clip until the processing is done. For example, in list view, I try to toggle down through the clips and in the upper filmstrip viewer often nothing is visible until it’s ready. At best it’s stuttery. “
I’m not seeing this at all on my system.
If I’m in filmstrip mode I can toggle through the clips and see video just fine. No stutter.
I have the waveforms turned off in the browser but if I turn them on I can tell it’s taking a while to load them in the browser.
The upside is they load immediately in the timeline, which is funny. I’m not sure why they are ready in the timeline instantly but not in the browser.
The timeline is what counts if I’m in a hurry so it hasn’t slowed my work.

[Oliver Peters] ” is there any way to actually speed this process up in FCPX?”
I just go up to the background task and cancel import.
Everything is already in there and I can get right to cutting. I’m not really sure what’s going on with the slow background import. Wasn’t doing that before.
I just loaded in 30GBs of footage and can start cutting and I’m on an older mac pro

I have had others ask me about this and I actually made a little video about it.
What I do is select the transition and the clip that I want to move and turn that into a compound clip. Then it will not effect the clip under it.
It’s a way I use all the time to avoid using keyframes.
If I want to say……….push a picture onto the screen without key framing it.

[Jason Brown] “QT7 was AMAZING.”
You sound like someone getting your money’s worth out of 7 pro like me : )
It’s funny how quickly some forget. I remember how mad folks were when QT X came out and lacked so much of the functions.
Sure, you can use compressor but the point is you didn’t have to take that extra step.
You could basically use that thing like a mini editor.
It still works, I just notice that colors are little off. They are not baked in off, because it looks fine in other programs.
Personally, I think they didn’t want to support that much power for something that cheap. It needed to be gotten rid off : )

I liked all those export options it had.
Oh well.
