Getting closer, but not quite there yet
This app is a great step in the right direction of building a platform between iOS devices and a creative app such as FCP X. Installing and set up was easy and worked the first time. Using the app to navigate around an already completed session was straightforward. There was less than a second latency for scrubbing or playback. The audio "button noises" were a bit annoying but offered some vague sense of tactile feedback. Moving around the different windows in FCP X from the iPad felt cumbersome, the app is laid out in a way that makes sense in an organizational sense, but not really in an editing sense. (assignable buttons?) and the selecting the exposure or saturation buttons under color correction did not do anything.
I think its great that the makers of this app put it out for free for a few hours and Im thankful Ive had a chance to try it at no cost. I hope those who paid for it before that point were compensated something.
This app has the potential to bring forward some great interaction, but I think a strong revamp of the layout to how the hand rests on an iOS device would be helpful in making it more user friendly. (Think ShuttlePro) I hope they continue improving it as eventuallyI think they could have something effective and unique.
