Re: Editing scenario

[Jules bowman] "and the basic premise of trackless events limits it's use unless you're willing to do the splits whilst juggling 7 hand grenades and whistling your national anthem through a porcelain recorder."

Which is how I feel when I use Avid, but then again I don't know how to use Avid anymore


[Jules bowman] "That's great if you only need to do editing which fits in their perception of what editing is, but from day 1 this didn't enable me to do things how I do them, and nope, not changing because Apple say jump, and as time has passed mo and more people have thrown up examples of its limitations."

You're right, using FCPX requires you to change the way you think, if you don't want to then that's cool, Adobe will be happy to take your money

[Jules bowman] "Love it Steve, please do. And anyone else, love it, find apple cool and funky, stand where the puck is being hit, really, do. But this was not designed within the myriad of diverse needs of the professional editing world. And by professional editing world I do mean the established post houses who make most TV and film. I mean traditional. I mean the sector that kids wanting to edit generally aim towards working in. I mean the pro's. The ones who get asked stuff by companies and little folk like me and you."

I don't use it because I find Apple "cool and funky" neither I expect to the other people on here who use it. We use it because we like it.

So apart from having to re-learn some aspect of editing, what do you think FCPX is lacking that makes it "Consumer" and not "Pro"?
