That annoys me… why should I be punished for being a long time, loyal user?

because some people in your position will shell the extra cash and buy the full retail version cause they want to be first.

[Johnny White] “That annoys me… why should I be punished for being a long time, loyal user?
grrrrrr…”Who cares when you receive a product? It will get to you at some point if you placed an order. I really don’t understand why everybody is so worked up about “when will I get it?”
Personally I have three copies on order. We will install it first on our third edit system and run it for a week there before we even THINK about installing it on our main two systems. Don’t want to introduce anything into our very stable workflow right now.
So relax, you’ll get it when you get it and it’ll be your choice whether to throw it right into production or ease it into your workflow.

Because they are excited about the new product and it’s new features. There may be a lull in work and they will have the time to play. All due respect Walter, we all don’t think like you and your post won’t change anyone’s enthusiasm for FCS 2. You don’t really have to respond to every post.

I wouldn’t touch studio 2 with a ten foot pole for at least a month. let other’s watch their systems burn into the ground 🙂
honestly, FCP 6 doesn’t do anything spectacularly more than FCP 5. So fine by me.

Besides a working version of Color, 3D FX in Motion, using the ProRes codec on projects that don’t need uncompressed, etc.
(I see where you’re coming from though. I’m still going to do some testing before I dive in completely. But I’m not going to wait for three months before I do.)

(I’ll let you know if I have any problems)

I still like you’re posts Walter, even if you’re not as excited to install potential project ruining software on your system as I am:)

[Russell Lasson] “Final Cut Studio 2 Retail : 3-5 business days
FCS2 Upgrades: 2-3 weeks.”This is actually really smart of them. It means that “new users” will be the guinea pigs. They’ll have a few weeks to sort out any major bugs before “upgrade users” start installing it over a working copy of FCP5.

Just in case you are not aware the manuals are available for download from apples website.
