Re: FCPX metadata--how significant is it? And why?

OK. It's not a "persuader" for you. For the reasons you state. (perfectly good ones in my opinion) Fair on all sides.

I'll put you down for "to my thinking, I expect resolution independence from ALL editing software as a baseline value." FCP-X gets the "resolution independent" checkmark, as does PPro, Vegas, and AVID.

No significant winners or losers in that area.

I just appreciate that you're a clear example of someone who's keeping an open mind about the program.

You keep acknowledging time and time again that you're not actively looking to recycle "talking points' to either promote it or diminish it - but looking for the reality under the surface.

Something I believe is valuable to everyone here.

So I'll try my best to avoid future thinking that some people here might see file resolution capabilities as a pro/amateur differentiator - and not understand that it's actually more of a "given" today.

Thanks for helping me be better aware of that.
