A new forum needed for FCP X?
Why?
1) it’s a completely new product – support for it will require different answers, and that means confusion here (“what version are you using?”)
2) both versions (7&X) are likely to be in use concurrently for a year or more
3) there will continue to be a lot of threads in this forum asking the same questions and new ones as release gets nearer.
Just a thought. Hosts – care to comment? I realise eventually only X will be left, but until then…

https://www.sstdigitalmedia.comI have a system, it has stuff in it, and stuff hooked to it. I have a camera, it can record stuff. I read the manuals, and know how to use this stuff and lots of other stuff too.
You should be suitably impressed… -
We might need an FCP X forum when he actual release is out. There is no point in having a sub forum for a product that doesn’t really exist.

If nothing else, I’d love a room to go to after I watch the presentation for the 50th time and want to gush about how excited I am and how much I love that color correct matching thing without spoilsports crapping all over my dreams.
I think I’m going to self-induce a coma until June.

I think this is a good idea. It will be easier for people using FCP right now to get answers to their questions if their threads don’t get lost in a bunch of FCPX discussion…

I’m with Scott. The drivel being spouted by gushing fanboys and aghast “pros” alike should be quarantined in a separate area.
Okay, maybe thats a bit harsh, but seriously, with all these FCPX threads a fella can’t see the wood for the trees round here anymore. -
I think would be great a “Pre-FCX” forum to keep so much senseless discussion out of the FCP forum.
Once FCX released, should be just the old FCP Forum.
There are enough elements to consider FCX as a new application, but most of FCP still lays inside.

I’m now just ignoring any future FCPX threads, too such shouting, speculation and gnashing of teeth going on, just going to wait for more official news

I have to say that I’m very surprised with the reactions.
Many people sounds like “FC operators”, no like “video editors”.

Well, the problem I can see for the Cow hosts with starting a new forum specifically for FCP X is when do you then bring it all back to the regular FCP forum? At some point, FCP X just becomes FCP.
We still get posts on here for FCP 3 – 6 but we don’t move those off into their own forums called “Old FCP”
This is one of the reasons we always ask for, but rarely get, a full system setup when you post your question. The easiest way to do this is to simply put the system setup in your signature.
So I would not vote for a separate Final Cut Pro forum. It’s the same application, same community, just a new interface and new look.
