Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Bill Davis] "But if you don't understand the qualitative difference between X and Legacy as a mobile editing platform, then you're NEVER going to get this point.
"

And, maybe there is no point there. No, wait. Not maybe. There is no point there.


[Bill Davis] "Legacy on a laptop, cut off from the "home base" assets of network and storage was an exercise in diminished capacity. X on a laptop is EXACTLY the same as X on a desktop. It's a seamless experience.
"

Mumbo jumbo. I can carry around four TBs or more and often do. 2 TBs easily accommodates a full season of an American TV drama. The home base easily comes with you if you want it. There is nothing about mobility that X has over FCS. Nothing. Nada. If FCS experiences any diminished capacity on a laptop, it is only diminished to the level of X.


[Bill Davis] "If you haven't used X enough to experience that, then please don't keep coming back to the "mobile editing was "possible" in Legacy."
"

Stop hiding behind "If you haven't been there... ...you just can't understand." The same argument can be made about Heroin. Give me something concrete. I bet you can't find it.


[Bill Davis] "It's also possible to drag race with a Volkswagen. But few do that seriously."

I so agree. Which is why I'm impressed with your tenacity in continuing to try it.

[Bill Davis] "It's a very, poor tool for that purpose, while X is an absolutely superb tool for mobile editing - perhaps the finest out there from what I've both experienced and heard.
"

That is ridiculous. I've been comfortably editing ProResHQ @1080 on a Macbook Pro for years now. It isn't sloggy. It isn't slow. To say that it is a "very poor tool" is an assertion that I can personally and very vehemently deny. So give me a couple of real life examples of why one is a poor tool and the other is superb.
