Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
Quote:
Why? Here's an example. You have 3 clips of overlay sitting on top of an interview. This form of editing is the style you've used across your whole timeline. With your interviews in the main storyline and your overlay (b-roll) on top. Lets say you want to perform a single roller trim on the second of your three clips. If you do this you know that ALL the clips on that video layer will be moved along. Creating a second storyline make those three shots independent and you can do what ever you like to them without worrying about destroying sync. Even better if you decide to move the interview further down the timeline just drag it down and the second storyline will go with it. FCP X has a little way to go before it's ready for professional use, but the way it EDITs right now is far superior to anything I've used in the past. It's going to be huge. |

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
For cuts only editing and split edits, X is a breeze. Much better than FCP7. I am having problems with transitions not landing at the cut points correctly or the transition changes the cut points. Perhaps I am doing something wrong. Perhaps it's another version 1 issue.

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
have you changed your settings in the editing preferences for transitions from full overlap to available media?

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
Just did but I haven't has a chance to work with it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Is there a way to apply transitions to overlay graphics which seem to resist preset transitions unless in the main video track?

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
Turn them into a compound clip.
Command -W I think. Then you can add transitions.

Perhaps FCPX's built-in fast/slowmo is already as good, if not even better than Twixtor, and that's why Apple is now sitting on the fence..? -- peer

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
Don't make a compound clip, make a secondary storyline cmd G.

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
That's interesting. I tried using the optical flow slowmo for a clip, and found it to be the worst of the two options. It had all sorts of crazy motion artifacts like you typically see from bad twiddle clips. But when i slowed down to the same speeds with the other two options, they both looked better, which was confusing to me. Are there certain situations where optical flow doesn't work as well as the others?

The best is Kronos, a plug-in from The Foundry which utilizes the GPU to accelerate it.

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
That works fine. However it seems that the program defaults to "full overlap" at every boot. A nuisance but workable.

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
I would suggest trashing your preferences and see what that gets you. I'm about to try Preferences Manager, a free app from Digital Rebellion to use for saving mine.

Re: Tell me what is GOOD about FCP X
Have you done a comparison between Optical Flow and Twixtor?
