Re: Log and Transfer in FCPX

I for one don't mind at all if apple drops log and capture. If they do i'm 100% sure that 3rd parties will pick up the slack. I'm sure AJA or Blackmagic will create far better untilities then there current ones.

One of the major complaints we had with log and capture is once you start captureing, boom FCP is locked up, you couldn't do anything else. which in why about 2 years ago we invested in a telestream pipline for our SD Tape ingest. This system lets you start ingesting a tape and almost immeditly (like 10 second lag) you can start editing that clip in FCP and as more is captured more shows up in the file. Its super slick.

So if Apple does drop capture i'm sure other compaines will start to add features like this.
