Dear Frameworks,
This isn't strictly an experimental film query, but I know many people who
teach read this listerve. My department has delayed for years the decision
about what to do about the transition away from teaching Final Cut Pro 7, and
result has been increasingly chaotic and
I disagree with $4000. A 21 iMac - what a school would likely be running
Final Cut on - starts at $1299. I assume there are bulk discounts for
schools, but they likely already have the computers.
I'm not a teacher, but I graduated four years ago and kept in touch with
teachers at my old school.
As a general rule of thumb, don't listen to anyone's opinion on Final Cut X
unless they've actually taken the time learn and understand it... Same
advice should be used for most things in life ;-)

I still use FCP myself but advised the faculty to move everything to FCPX 2 or
3 years ago. FCP just couldn’t keep up with Apple’s persistent OSX changes
(Lion, Mountain Lion now Maverick) which left video editing way back in the
pre-Raphaelite doldrums. FCPX is a clunker, consumer grade
I am teaching at Dongguk University in Seoul now. I brought over
eight super-8 cameras and all the raw products needed to mix together
BW reversal chemicals, 60 rolls of Tri-X, a few viewers and
splicers. The school switched to digital five years ago, but they
still have a couple of Arriflexes
I would steer clear of iMacs for video editing,
they are underpowered. If you want to render HD
video, it's going to be slow and painful on even
the high end iMacs. The Mac Pro is very fast, but
very expensive. It is only available with small
solid state drives, so you have to buy additional
Dear Franworkers,
I appeal to your expertise on superposition as editing practice. As an artist,
I’m working on an installation project which calls me to set up a taxonomy of
superposition in the field of moving images (film, video, digital moving
images). I would very much appreciate your
On the original topic of editing software, I’d throw my weight behind switching
to Premiere. At the University of Florida, I experimented for a semester with
FCPX, and I found it buggy dumbed down in ways that made it hard to do things
that I’ve come to expect from my editing systems. The
Bruce,
Do you remember who's made a film that consists of a continuous dissolve
from black screen to white or vice versa? I think it is a fluxfilm but I am
not sure.
By the way, I learned today that my 'FFF1' got the Best Experimental Short
Award at IFS--Independent Filmmakers Showcase.
I really don't get this idea that FCP X is dumb? What do people mean by
that? FCP X is obviously not dumb, are you referring to features? Clip
tagging with keywords, for example, is totally innovative and forward
thinking (it seems to me) and allows an editor to navigate through more
footage more
Apple is very direct in their intention to make FCPX more favorable
to the consumer and IMovie user. They recognize that the professional
market is too small for their bottom line. Therefore, yes, they are
dumbing it down. Why, otherwise, is every professional editor I know
either
iMovie isn't dumb either. In 2000-2001 ish there was a major move away from
FCP 3 (at the time) to iMovie, and a lot of professional editors edited
exclusively on iMovie, including Zach Stiglitz and Art Jones, I believe.
So, yeah, the iMovie as derogatory slur doesn't make much sense to me
