Re: On Luddites and the Use of Machines: Apropos of FCPX

[Herb Sevush] "[Bill Davis] "If that's true Herb, then we should have seen all the traffic here migrate to the Premier and Vegas, and AVID boards. "
Go check out the PPro board and you'll find a bunch of the names that used to pop up here last spring.

And, the Octo-mom gets more attention then most other mothers. Can you infer from that, that she has a superior method for raising children?

[Herb Sevush] "[Bill Davis] "Legacy EOL has been a fact for the best part of a year. Plenty of time for people to have left it for another program. "
Actually, it's not. I want to change, but I'm still committed to Legacy for now. I was hoping to be able to switch before June, when we start our next season, but that's dependent on what happens in April. It's possible, though I am loath to admit it, that I will still be on Legacy for another year. I don't think I'm that rare a case.

Not at all. I'm in a similar boat with much of my work. And, that has to do with several factors beyond my immediate control. Many people I know are in the same place, as well.


[Herb Sevush] "[Bill Davis] "I'd argue that the health of this board is ABSOLUTE proof of the "intrinsic" merit of X. It's sparked and generated the largest on-going on-line debate of NLE design, structure and use that any of us have ever seen."
You'd argue and I'd disagree. I'd argue that if this product was released by Boris or Grass Valley you'd never have heard of it, much less used it. I'd further argue that if Apple had released this product concurrent with ongoing support of Legacy this "debate" forum would be unnecessary. This forum is testament to the power of Apple and the dominance of FCP. The Techniques forum is proof of the merit of X, and that forum is quite busy indeed."

Again, Octo-mom. Is she the mother of all moms, or what?
