Re: [Avid-L2] Re: [FCP-L] Mountain Lion? Really?

While the new UI ideas stems from small, touch screen design, and facilitates such interaction, that does not necessarily mean the converse is true, the the new UI does not somehow diminish keyboard/mouse interaction. Do you see anything in FCP X that suggests that it could, even in theory, be operated by touchscreen?

The idea that anyone could do serious work using a touchscreen interface is patently absurd. I don't think anyone in the UI business, even those who live in the reality distortion field, would suggest otherwise.

As ergonomic as I try to make my setups it still wears in the long haul. I can't imagine how I would have felt if I'd been on a touch screen system. I think they'd have had to wheel me out on a stretcher. Perhaps there are ways a touch screen could augment the typical keyboard and mouse/wacom/control surface but I don't really see it speeding up the process. I can't see what's under my hand/finger. Has anybody grown fond of a touch screen for editing day in and day out?
