Re: @Real World Editing: From Avid to FCP and Back Again

so you're telling me that i can't make a criticism of someone because of who they are...he could be the king of england and that shouldn't matter a bit about what i said. i am only expressing my feelings for the way in which the story was handled. i stay by my view. it all sounds like a big pat on the back for avid and a bigger slap in the face for everyone else. i could care if he was the worlds biggest producer of every show in the world. i never meant for this to be an attack on his character or him personally, just an observation that this love affair with avid was all a bit out of sorts. thanks for letting me know that he is a sweet and wonderful guy and very intelligent but as someone mentioned earlier he came out all swinging for how great fcpx was then changed his tune. i merely commented that by changing his tune maybe he wasn't all that much informed (okay i said flaky, but where's the problem). previously he was telling us all that fcpx was the way forward and his company was looking at going in that direction. then he changed his mind. i think anyone would call that flaky! a lot of so called industry leaders also had their praises for fcpx then turned the other cheek when it got too hot. we all know that as soon as it looked like apple dropped the ball with fcpx, avid and adobe were standing there offering huge discounts to make people switch. the corpse wasn't even cold and they were all tempting people to switch. very tacky i would say and some might even say desperate attempt to get our cash! i saw that whole thing as being in very poor taste. and now for you guys ate cow. you have a lot of influence over what will become the next big thing. i read these forums all the time for information and try to stay on top of what is current. it is a great source of information and i myself have made the switch from color to davinci resolve because of what i was able to gather from other peoples experiences. i even had a few chats with peter from bmd about features i thought would make resolve a better product. with every version they make it more like color and that can only be a good thing. i am not saying we shouldn't change our ways of working or adapt to new technologies, but i believe in giving everyone a equal voice on these forums. everyones opinion is valid, we just don't have to agree all the time.
