7toX not working in PAL projects
I had a quick play with 7toX on release day but couldn’t get it to work so I assumed I was doing something wrong and forgot about it. Tried again today, still no luck but then noticed that there is bug and version 1.0 doesn’t work with PAL material.
Interestingly Philip Hodgetts has posted that they have submitted an update today that fixes the issue, it’s not on the App store yet though.
The interesting point he made was that as a small third party company they were able to react quickly to the problem, had it been an Apple problem we would have waited considerably longer for a fix.
I thought it’s a good illustration of how using 3rd party software can be an advantage in some cases.

There’s a 1.0.1 update that’s been submitted but not yet in the Apple store.
Philip Hodgetts notes the PAL bug.

“Thats exactly how I feel, but some feel the opposite.

Funny thing is that the lags in FCP (whatever version) on the one side created a reasonable business for some smaller developers — especially for workflows.
The other side was that the more developers chimed in, the more Apple got serious feature requests (and bug reports), this finally ‘forced’ Apple to be more ‘open’ over the time, and in many cases to implemented things into the app which formerly was handled by third party stuff.So even though the end user didn’t (doesn’t) realize, that any of the little tools available are helpful for him as a person these tools do change a lot.
With the App Store Apple got a much better control/survey of what is needed and liked. Therefore they will do listen (by numbers) to requests and needs of (selected) developers.
So third party apps may change your life without notice 🙂

P.S. Some of of you know that I know what I’m talking about.
