Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Likely done with Avid

 

Oliver I guess I'm just getting old and grumpy. I just don't get why functional naming conventions that are universal among NLE's are not used?

When I went from Avid to Premiere to
FCP 7 it was relatively painless.
Why FCP-X didn't maintain the gui conventions like Edius, Avid or PP is beyond me. This is no different than all cockpits in airplanes having a uniform commonality of controls and naming conventions.

Among editors and production folks I've talked too when I bring up FCP X they just roll their eyes, moan and walk off talking to themselves.

Tom,

Have you ever cut anything for any length of time with FCPX? IMHO, to say it's like iMovie is a bit of a knee-jerk comment that doesn't match the facts. X is pretty complex once you get past the initial level. There's a lot of precision and strong database management. If anything, it's optimized for fast cutting.

I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it is quite capable and there are plenty of network broadcast entities around the world that have and are adopting it. And after all, doesn't every NLE developer impose limitations and a design that determines how they want us to work?

FCP X's layout and terminology is so amateurish and deplorable it's a joke. It reminds me of Newscutter another
misfire. Screw Apple and their attitude that's the way we should work. It's iMovie on steroids and that ain't saying much....
