Re: One year later...

[Chris Kenny] "I've seen zero interest thus far in Premere among real-world contacts, "

Our mileage differs. I hope your opinions are based on observation rather than wishful thinking. Personally I am NLE agnostic so I am only interested in reporting what other tell me. My decisions are purely based on serving the most popular systems.

"We seem to keep hearing that FCP X's feature set is still considered insufficient, but I can't help but notice that unlike a year ago there aren't many specific features being mentioned."

Again wishful thinking and observational bias. Just today on this forum issues like keyframing, auto saves, opening multiple sequence, copying file attributes were mentioned. For me I add lack of machine control, the fact that the output via SDI is still not video and audio synced. Yes I can work around these things but why should I?

The only reason why specifics are not being mentioned is because many here have just grown tired of reminding the forum of what is still missing. Great that our list is getting smaller.

Once the list is gone we can then just look at the NLE in direct comparison to systems that already offer the 'must have features' that define our workflows. Until then do not misconstrue our lack of constant lists of complaints as compliance or acceptance that we will do without, not now that Autodesk, Avid and Adobe are making serious strides in the right direction. Rather take it as a sign that we are giving up on Apple in the short term and moving to those viable options. By all means Chris, stay and argue the cause. Just don't be surprised if we remain unconvinced.
