I'm sure Ram & CPU maxed out also contribute greatly (also optimal set-up, external drive, etc), but this guy thinks the card plays a huge part. What say you?

I listened to a couple of trax. Sounded reminiscent of 80's disco, a kind of retro feel. Not unpleasant. Definitely suitable for a film soundtrack, depending on the movie.

Also the track that includes an interview with Georgio Moroder was interesting.

thanks

Weinstein calls this martial arts movie "visually arresting," I'd agree...

If you hold the Command key while dragging the keyframe a little box will open with choices (curves, linear, etc)

Here's a diagram...

This is genius. A music video made entirely from Stock Footage!
But check how he puts himself in every scene, it's hilarious (eating popcorn.. hehe).

That worked perfectly, Charlie, thank you.

Hmm.. light-leaks are a bit of a contentious issue round here. Some think they are overused, perhaps rightly so, but I still think they can add value depending on the situation. Of course they should match the scene, emphasizing some lights that are native to the scene. For instance on a wedding video where we have a soft dream-like fantasy light & color treatment, usually when we see the bride preparing or stepping out into the sun, or as we pan by her in front of a window. In this instance the color of the light should be warm & matching sunlight. Other scenes like candlelight, night clubs, traffic, etc, all can be candidates for this effect. As long as it's not overdone & it matches color-wise.

That being said, your picture is more of a lens flare, which is another effect some think can make lights more interesting, while others protest their overuse (by JJ Abrams, for instance). My philosophy is that all these little additions can be very effective for increasing interest & thus value, however, all things in moderation. Subtlety reigns. Most importantly, content is king, so we start with a great story, deployed expertly, hopefully shoot it well, then the master brushstrokes can be added in post to things like light, sound, color, etc.

Think you're done? Next comes the art of marketing it...

Ok, Peter, I'll take your word for it. But you gotta admit, it sure doesn't look like anything that works in FCPX, at least nothing I've seen before.

Hoping someone enlightens me...

Also, to really get the screaming fast performance, don't forget that 2 drives changes everything. Your system drive with your OS & FCPX, then your external drive (FireWire or ThunderBolt) with all your media & project files, that's the drive FCPX reads & writes to.

Only then can you really enjoy FCPX for all it has to offer...

If the problem is with rendering the titles, what are they? Part of the packaged titles that came with FCPX 10.0.8 or some aftermarket titles? Just curious...

So let me get this straight... we're actually training people to have ADHD...

Thanks Charlie, you're kind.

Although your pic looks a bit intimidating like Terminator with that light, or is it GoogleGlass peering into my soul?

Thanks for the clarification.

If I might make one minor suggestion. It appears that neither your download dmg nor the actual installer have version numbers. Since you are issuing updates, it might be helpful for your followers to be able to differentiate between the releases. This can remove any confusion from people going to their Downloads folder & finding 2 copies of your product, then mistakenly writing something negative about an issue that you've already addressed.

thank you
