If it just registers as a BT keyboard it should be android ready.

Also, it's not technically ALL stills. There's one shot of the girl in bed that is actual moving film. There's a very specific thematic reason why Marker did that. The use of still frames vs. moving film and the pacing of those frames tells us how the main character is experiencing time - Somewhere between rewind and…

The whole point of the still frames is that in the film time is a series of moments, and each still frame, especially when he's with the girl, are still moments of time, waves of time flashing over him. That's what makes it such a brilliant movie. The form is part of the theme.

Thumb Keyboard, a keyboard on Android, does this as well, but you can see the extra buttons. It's not like this is unique to Apple.

If you have to throw down OMF's for post sound outside of FCP then it is definitely not for you. In my line of work (I teach filmmaking to middle schoolers for a nonprofit) we do everything in FCP, from importing to editing to titles to sound. And we export out to a single video file that goes up to Youtube. As an…

Exactly what I was thinking. Including the quote.

Pretty much. I also have a bunch of movie files on my hard drive that I copied to my phone's SD card, then plugged my phone back into my comp, DB sensed them and is uploading them now to give me more space.

Thanks. The gizmodo review by the dude who makes surfing videos is a good reference as well. I think it'll be interesting to see how many people end up adopting FCPX as filmmaking continues to democratize and going through Hollywood becomes increasingly unnecessary. Making your own pro-level videos is getting easier…

If you're working more or less by yourself and exporting from FCPX to a final HD video file for uploading somewhere, then yes, totally, get FCPX. Not only is the render time ridiculously faster, but the new interface really makes it easier and faster to edit. The whole philosophy of the interface is changed in such a…

They said the same thing about digital projection, 35 mm film cameras and analog mixing consoles at various points. What I think Apple is doing is projecting way ahead into the future, when tapeless workflows are the norm, when data storage is ubiquitous and when the definition of a "pro" is a lot murkier and not…

It's not necessarily a "consumer toy," there are plenty of pro-level filmmakers and editors out there who aren't working in a Hollywood ecosystem who could make use of it. Not everyone needs to work with tape, not everyone needs to drive a console or sync timecode with a million other devices.

I don't think it ever sucked that badly. I used to be a pro sound editor before I left LA, and I could see the problems with FCPX being unable to export to an OMF for Pro Tools. As a truly pro solution it was not tenable. I'm not sure if that's still the case now, but it really was impossible to use in a real pro…

I love how their casting people can literally get anyone at this point. It makes sense, considering it really only takes about 20 minutes or so to record a few lines for a cameo. It reminds me of this amazing story about ultra-recluse Thomas Pynchon being on the show: [techland.time.com]

Just don't get one. You can buy a car without one - not a new car, but who wants one of those, the way they lose value? Far better to save 5K and buy a decent car than finance a 20K thing that will saddle you with payments. Homes are more complicated but again, good saving and a large down payment will do most of the…

"You're not supposed to give your password out to anyone as adult so teaching that its ok as a teen will make its seem ok in the future."

"Of course, if you do that and honestly think "Dad will never check up on me," you're probably only 11 years old..."

But if you're modeling the behavior that a password is a sacred thing (which it ought to be), by using something like the piggy bank device you can access the password if need arises while still communicating that no, you do not have unfettered access to your FB, nor should you have it. I love the solution mentioned…

No one is questioning that parents ultimately have the right to do these things (maybe the teens in this thread are, but yeah). What I'm saying is that even if you have the right, it's not the best way to handle the situation. It just tells kids that submitting to a Big Brother is okay, that authority shouldn't be…

I agree that self-worth is about making sure they know you care about them. To me, letting my kids have their online privacy to themselves is a FANTASTIC way of showing I care about them, that I care about them enough to respect their individuality, their privacy, that their secrets and decisions belong to them, not…

Word. It also shows children a model by example. I protect myself as much as you protect yourself.
