The vagabond who's rapping at your door

Strike another match, go start anew

RE: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP X... Discuss...

 

I've been on a TV show in a cave in the middle of nowhere since last
Wednesday. I'm finally just checking my e-mails.

Holy shit!, 83 posts on FCP X? This is the Avid-L isn't it? If I gave a
rat's ass about FCP-X, which I don't, I'd subscribe to the FCP list. Did
Avid have anything new or did Apple use mind control on everybody at NAB?
Next there will be 250 posts about how great Red is. ;-o Sheesh...

How was 3D progressing at NAB? Any significant OLED monitor announcements?

Search capabilities and criteria based collections are always good to have. There's no downside there. But it seems not good if Apple decides that FCP X is like a basket that only holds so much, and in order to add something sexy like range keywording, they something less sexy but also useful, like subclips. Why can't an NLE do both?

"Keywording is not only searchable, but automatically organizes all "clips" into
keyword based bins. (I suspect old-style fixed bins are gone, but keywords
would do the job as well)."

Will I have options and choices on how I want to store and organize things, or does FCP X know best from now on? I definitely like the idea of being able to search across bins on the basis of keyword, but why does bin organization have to go away? Maybe I just want to create a location, put something in it, then retrieve it without having to perform a search operation. What if I forget what keywords I associated with the clip? Bins show me what I have whether I remember clip names or not, and sometimes when I go looking for the thing I want, I find the thing I really need right next to it.

I can see the advantages of keywords, certainly; but for Apple to decide that this is the only way to work (if that's the case), sounds rather patronizing to me. Patronizing in the same way that deciding I don't need a source window anymore is patronizing.

Keywording is not only searchable, but automatically organizes all "clips" into
keyword based bins. (I suspect old-style fixed bins are gone, but keywords
would do the job as well).

But you can't have 10 markers that overlap. You can have 10 or any number of
range based keywords that overlap, or not. "smart collections automatically
created for keywords" (Ubillos) and "The collection is based on Queries"
(Steinaur). (Which also leads me to believe I am wrong that the project format
is XML based, but that's another blog post).

[Avid-L2] Re: SR/SR-lite AMA plug in Released? Now Installed ama plugins console command

 

So would uninstalling Avid 5.0 uninstall the legacy ama plug ins? Is there an ama plugin uninstaller or is this a manual process. I haven't found a folder akin to the avx plug in folder to remove these. Where would these be located. Since I just installed them all I assume I"m current but down the line when there are updates I would like to know the proper preceedure.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP X... Discuss...

 


I think keywording is in fact searchable. I've argued for a long time that I want all the bin functionality, including all the different sifts and sorts, and range selection, included in the locators window in MC. If they did this, I'm not sure keywording would have any more to offer. Until they do, it probably does.

Absolutely. In fact I'd be surprised if there was anything like the old subclip
because this is much more flexible. One clip can have keywords across the whole
clip (and all the clip/file metadata is in that category) plus range-based
keywording that can overlap fulfilling the role of Subclips.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP X... Discuss...

 

Apple probably did this because subclips were always broken in FCP. Rather than fix them, they did this. It may be better in some ways, worse in others. Sometimes I like seeing subclip head frames in a bin.

In FCP X, it appears you can select a section of a clip and add keywords. That

Basically it allows you to subclip, in a way. The trimming model is interesting.
Some of the ways to deal with clips and transitions and even audio in the
"sequence" are very interesting. There are definitely a lot of obstacles to
using iMovie for professional work, but seeing some of the UI solutions that
iMovie uses in editing definitely show potential. It's THESE things that I think
Apple is considering using in FCP X.

You could look into the Smart Collection and put the "bin" into filmstrip mode and see a filmstrip view of all the clips in that bin, strung out to skim through. So yes.

Flexible compound searching as it's all based on Queries anyway.

Probably. :) Would be nice if anyone (including me) had answers that were more than inference and guesses though. But having the high resolution screen shots Apple sent me, there does not appear to be anything but Smart collections based on the keywords.

In fact dragging a clip to a smart collection adds the keyword of that collection to that clip, "adding it to the bin".

You will learn. Or you'll go to Media composer :) There doesn't seem to be any other way to do it.

Randy Ubillos also said this...

"To get around this you had to do things like subclipping and a whole range of other things. With range based keywording you can..."

When subclips are described as a workaround, you can pretty much guarantee they're now obsolete.
