Time to change the forum name yet?
So much good workflow discussions and conversations about the very nature and future of editing going on here, is it perhaps time to think about the proposed name change to the forum. It’s great that Dennis from Adobe takes part here, but perhaps other companies may feel they can’t take part as it’s primarily named as an FCPX forum.
It would be great to broaden the discussions out further.

But it all starts when someone says, “So I used FCX to finish this iMovie project…”

For me it started when I was using a CMX6000 and I saw Avid as the future and all my boss could say, “those pictures look like cr*p, you can’t do a professional offline with it.”

I wouldn’t change the name right now. It’s a great forum, why dissipate its focus.
Apple FCPX or Not: The Debate has still got wheels and will rejuvenate itself with the release of the first major update to FCPX due imminently.
This is the moment that many people who have switched from FCP7 will reconsider their options and many people who have embraced FCPX will see whether enough fundamental changes have taken place to keep them on board.

Hilarious, this is what I mean, wouldn’t we like more people coming here to read witty and incisive posts like this?

Yet I think madding crowds will steer the conversation into the lack of trust for Apple. They decry that “tracklessness” has not been “fixed.” They will be repelled by magnetism. Epitaphs will be thrown at each facility that moves to it. Evan Schechtman will be a pariah. When the bipeds talk of prehensile thumbs they will postulate that four legs are better than two, that the math shows it to be incontrovertible truth.
If FCPX shows itself to be popular, they will equate populism as proof of pedestrian intent.

. . . and such insight into the direction of the industry!
Media Composer’s popularity has proven such a financial success for Avid.
Premiere has been on the cusp of wide spread acceptance for so long that the EOL of FCS was only the smallest incidental factor. <… the grin continues>This is the current state of the industry. Apple and FCP are only one part of a big post picture in a “tightening” economy that it would seem to be a smaller number of chairs remain in each round for those in and/or servicing the upper echelon of the post industry.

“Craig, dude. You forgot to mention the locust plagues and the inevitable hastening of the apocalypse that is sure to any significant X adoption! Didn’t you get this weeks talking points?

Maybe a change is in order… I know I was firmly in the NOT camp and not happy with Apple at all. But… since the .01 and .02 updates and the ability to add transitions to any clip (what a concept) I’m slowly changing sides and thinking maybe Apple has something here…this is by far the fastest NLE out there and I find it harder and harder to go back to an “old school” NLE like FCP7, MC6 or CS5.5…
Ny guess is that long term Apple wins again.
