Re: Motion TRACKS versus FCP X Trackless (now OT: organization in FCPX vs FCP7)

Ok, Michael. I'll bite. Explain it to me.
How is the Fairlight approach superior? How would you reflect those ideas as not just an audio editing system, but one to handle visual content of all types - video as time streams, stills, titles, et.

It seems to me that sound based systems always deal in streams unfurling over time. But in video targeted systems, we have to deal with all sorts of content that must persist over ranges of time. Titles, stills, bugs, etc. etc.

What is there in Fairlight that those engineers were able to give you that escaped the designers of all four primary video editing approaches?

When Apple's engineering staff looked for inspiration and ideas to use in X, as they must have with access to plenty of audio folk with a Logic, and Soundtrack Pro teams in house, why do you think they decided to craft X like they did rather than more like a DAW?

I'd honestly like to know your thinking.
