Re: Why does Panic and Paranoia Rule some "Pros"?

[Steven Gonzales] "If a feature means a long form piece, yeah someone will do it.

A feature means originating on film (still predominant) and finishing sound elsewhere, and conforming a DI or cutting a negative, is some future unknown time.

Film Logic worked with FCP1 because it took an EDL, and FCP gave an EDL. Sound worked because tracks were assignable and could be exported to ProTools.

Sure, this could happen some day. I just wouldn't plan on it for at least a year."

Again (I'm going to keep repeating this until people quit making statements that don't take it into account), XML export is coming in "a few weeks". Someone will figure out how to get sequences into Resolve, etc. via that route (processing FCP X XML into FCP 7 XML or EDL files) fairly quickly once that's available. I'll do it myself, if nobody else does is quickly enough for my liking.

Tagging audio clips to assign them to tracks on export is coming "this summer".

This is right out of Apple's FAQ. I really don't understand why people keep throwing around time frames like "a year or two". Multicam might take a year. These workflow features won't.
