6 months in with FCPX… my feature requests (FWIW)…

[Agnes Marsala] “I’m still using 7.5 and after reading this thread I’m more horrified than ever at the thought of moving to X!”

Don’t be, it’s amazing. Seriously. 🙂

[Robin S. Kurz] “[Michael Carter] “Apple should address the fact that 7 will be a dead system before long and a simple app to generate XMLs from 7 files – without needing 7 ”

Yeah. Be sure to hold your breath.
Because hey, if you haven’t managed to translate needed project files in over five years, that is TOTALLY on Apple! :-)))”

I gotta say… and I am way on-board with FCPX… having a tool that could open legacy project files and facilitate translation to X would be high on my list of ‘stuff to buy’. I’ve got hundreds of legacy projects dating back to 2003, most of which have multiple sequences. I get random requests to go back into the wayback machine and pull stuff out – maybe a couple of times per year. There’s no way to know which ones are the ‘important ones’, and there are too many to simply export all of them. Because of this, I keep a cheese grater MacPro on 10.9 with the full legacy Studio installed and stable with all of my legacy plugins fxscripts, etc.

It’s not a thing that keeps me up at night, but it sure would be nice. For me. Among other things… ;^)
