@editblog1 It isn't an Avid-exclusive feature, Lightworks has had realtime dynamic trimming since the beginning. I'd argue Lightworks provided the most elegant NLE trimming design ever.
Great show as always guys. It was interesting seeing MC and FCPX side by side and having not looked at it since 2003, a couple of things struck me:
1. Even with the fashionable dark grey look, MC's UI looks very dated. Non-antialiased fonts!
2. It feels like a 'frankenstein app' with no design coherence behind it. New features seem to be shoehorned in just by adding another menu and a floating window. Witness the number of audio related windows that Steve brought up.
@natyuotube Yes, but after you press it, the playhead continues down the timeline, no longer looping. that is is the big difference - you can't just keep tweaking your edit while the playhead loops.
Continuing .... lin2log please name another app that allows that type of realtime dynamic trimming? You can't because it doesn't exist. There's + and - to all these apps. FCPX can't do realtime dynamic trimming and you say it in your post mentioning different keys and buttons as dynamic trimming doesn't require buttons other than basic playback controls. Sorry but you just don't exactly what your talking about here.
And at the end of the day, when I see Avids general interface and by far worst of all it's TITLER, there's NO WAY I'll ever find back to that BUTT FUGLY software, whether that's relevant to it's actual feature-set or not, as far as I'm concerned, optics make a HUGE difference for me. Constantly throwing up in my own mouth doesn't speed up my work. Avid is so stuck in the 80's (as are their users, so one is most likely feeding the other perfectly) it's pathetic. I give them 24 months TOPS.
@lin2log I don't think AVID is going to go under anytime soon. It doesn't matter how terrible their interface design and unintuitive their software, people like things the way they are.
This is such a SUPERB example of classic Avid uninformed snootiness and solipsism for him to sit there and act as if "realtime-trimming" was some sort of AVID ONLY feature... out of mere arrogant ignorance to FCP X's actual functionality. He wouldn't have lasted 2 secs in his demo before I yelled " Huh?? So? FCP X can do the exact same 'realtime-trimming', just with different keys/buttons! Where is that an AVID feature??"
And this guy claims to *TRAIN* FCP X??! I sure hope for FREE.
Very interesting guys, it was great. Got to say though, I was going to move away from FCPX but I might hang out a bit more until they get it right. I don't want to have to learn a whole new editing system, even if it is similar, it would slow me down I think. Not a fan of that modal business either. That causes head scratching. Learned some things on FCPX from this and will probably stay with it. Thanks again.
