[Jeremy Garchow] "[Rafael Amador] "I've been working with DVCpro25, 8 years before FC release (Barcelona'92 Olympics was the big public presentation of the format)."
That was on a laptop over FireWire?"
No on PANASONIC VTRS.
You said "The idea of lightweight native codec editing over firewire and laptop, in Ok (dv), better(dv50), and pretty good qualities (DVCPro HD)." belongs to Apple. Sorry but not.
Apple got it done first (in collaboration with SONY).
All waht you mention has been but FCP implementations.
I agree with you that
the great contribution of Apple to video (beside QT) has been: FCP.
[Jeremy Garchow] "Rafael Amador] "but i doubt very much that you would have been very happy with an application that simply won't allows you to take certain jobs, and I don't mean that you can make the same product. I'm talking that you are tied to a computer and an storage system."
What do you mean?"
I mis explained my self.
I mean that you may be able to do the same product in both apps, but there are jobs and workflows I can't undertake in FCPX for what I explain next.
[Rafael Amador] "Why do I want more efficiency if I've o stay at home?"
Why can't you work on a laptop on FCPX? I don't get it."
In fact I'm running FCPX in a laptop, no problem, but how I'll do to move my projects when the iMac will arrive?
I often work in the provinces and I have to do half of the job there (I make a lot of ITWs to minorities people; I need them translated on location). I work with small eSATA/FW800 drives (laCie LittleBigDisk).
Back home I move the media to a CalDigit and keep working.
I bring to the field the old MBP Core2Duo and finish in the "i7" (prefer to keep the new one at home).
If I'm not wrong I can't work this way with FCPX.
[Jeremy Garchow] "Sequences, Compounds clips, all are the same story with different under-laying technologies.
Compounds clips are basically QT REFERENCES FILES created inside the application."
So FCPX works for you in this regard then?
Compounds are not reference movies. Far different."
Then, I don't catch well the idea of the Compound clip.
I see it as kind of "virtual clip" where you can "compact" many clips (and even other elements) together.
Then you can manage that as a single clip.
