telling people to wait until imovie “pro” becomes professional is like telling iphone users to wait for the next release to make calls ….

This is Apple’s way of telling dedicated professional users of FCP to go jump in a lake and they have discussed as a new product launch. They clearly are abandoning the pro editing community. So disappointing.

Well, for me it’s really pretty simple; without the ability to import old projects, I can’t use it. What I find really puzzling and no one seems to be addressing is, if Apple is positioning this as a completely new product and not an upgrade, then why did they stop selling final cut studio? I think they could have waited a few months and announced its EOL.

Dan:

Now that Apple has released Final Cut Pro X, you can read the specs and decide which system is best for your projects.

Larry, you accomplished something rare: You rocked Apple’s world.

I get the feeling they needed to be shaken by somebody with your stature and credibility.

Perhaps Apple wants a wife and a girlfriend. The wife is the pro user. The girlfriend is the kid/amateur user. The problem with having a wife and a girlfriend at the same time is that you usually have a very bad result.

BTW Larry, you are an amazing speaker. I’ve never heard anybody with your ability to be serious and wickedly funny in the same sentence. (I’m not from Boston.) You are quite a pisser. (Yes, I’m from Jersey.) If you had gone into politics you would have never lost an election.

You are very convincing in a paradoxically Big Brother/favorite uncle sort of way.

Anyway, at least if FCPX sucks, we at least have you around to teach and entertain at the same time.

I think Tracy Valleau wrote the most concise and complete answer to installing a new version of any software.

BUT, I don’t think Larry was talking about bugs and the usual adjustments that have to be made. He was talking about the design and features not being quite up-to-snuff for professional use. Everyone was saying that it looked like iMovie. That’s why everyone got nervous, including me. I am REALLY looking forward to the speed of 64-bit and background rendering! But I don’t want to compromise control or customization. I hope they didn’t take any of THAT away.

Can I disclose? No, because I haven’t seen any trace of Bruce recently…

Hmmm…. I will dispatch my most talented Yak-trackers deep into the heart of Apple to see if we can pick up his trail.

Hi Larry,

Thank you for all your work and efforts you make for the community !

Regarding FCP X there is one more thing on my mind. Or should i say a ‘who’ ?

Can you disclose anything about the wellbeing of Bruce the Wonderyak in the new version ? Anything at all ? Please ?

Thank you
