[Jeremy Garchow] "He's doing to best he can with the tools he has chosen for himself.
There's no question that fcpx is a viable NLE for broadcast. Not for everyone, but if you can start and finish in fcpx, it's capable, and according to him, his clients have never been more pleased.
So, he might not know what the technical truth is, but he knows exactly what he's doing. There's a difference and it's an important one."
Yes.
Like the labs rats that know which button to click to get food instead of an electro shock.
Mechanics doesn't need only to know WHICH screws they need to tight and HOW, but also WHY.
Jeremy, is nothing about FCPX but about understanding what is video.
He is able to undertake processes that he doesn't fully understand. He did that on his previous NLE and will do it with the next one. Good for him.
Nothing to criticise about, just that he should keep editing broadcast shows instead of writing blogs and talking on color.
I think FCPX is great for this kind of stuff where, more than editing, what you do is assembling the pieces of a program (the editing is done before even shooting).
[Jeremy Garchow] "I can't see how 1080i and blue only is viable."
That's really easy.
I've done that years ago with FCP when I wanted to calibrate my old SONY trinitron that has no "blue only'.
Put some bars on the time-line and drop the ""Channel Mixer" filter.
Set "Red Output" and "Green Output" = 0.
Done.
