[Stephen Bakopanos] “If Larry Jordan intends on talking about or showing off FCP X, Apple are either making an exception to his NDA or they’re going to release it in the next 48 hours…”
This is what is known as a non-sequitur.
Larry has been talking (or at least flapping his lips) about FCP X for months while still remaining under the terms of the Apple NDA. Why should one more show from Larry suddenly be “the” meaningful piece of the puzzle that points to the release date?

“We’ve been told that FCP X will be released in June. Apple tend to release products on a Tuesday (and there’s only two left in June). And Apple’s last major announcement on FCP X was made at the Supergroup meeting in Vegas. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they released their product to coincide with the next Supergroup meeting where it can be demoed and detailed.
Given the dearth of information coming from Cupertino, all we can really do is look at the stars and check to see if they’re aligning.

[Stephen Bakopanos] “A show like this, perhaps: https://supermeet.com/ ??”
That would constitute a ‘quiet’ release tomorrow. I still think it will be a real dog and pony show with Apple core folks demo-ing the software, making claims about its performance and revolutionary nature, answering all the unanswered questions, and the obligatory high profile editors lending their experience with the beta and/or anticipatory salivations about using the software.
Of course if they just do an announcemnt and presser they can count on their legion of users in the media to push the news out well past the frontiers of the NLE community. But that would surprise me because low key is not their style…unless they’re truly worried about backlash because smoke and mirrors can only distract so much.
The long and the short is we’ll see soon enough.

Apple also tends to push back release dates without any real mention.

“Does FCP X overwrite FCP 7 ?
Can they both run on the same machine?
Will FCP 7 projects open in FCP X?

[David Battistella] “Does FCP X overwrite FCP 7 ?”
Who knows? Who cares? That’s the beauty of a multi-boot, multi-partition setup.
[David Battistella] “Can they both run on the same machine?”
Definitely on the same “virtual machine” with multiple boot partitions. Whether the different versions can actually reside side by side on a single partition is anyone’s guess right now. I frankly wouldn’t do it that way.
[David Battistella] “Will FCP 7 projects open in FCP X?”
Nobody knows except those who can’t say…

Personally, Im interested in running FCP X on the same drive as my other apps (AE, Photoshop, Mocha, DVDSP, Compressor, Syntheyes, etc) so I can test it in my standard work flow. Since “nobody know nuttin'” at this point, thats my plan and Im sticking to it until further information is revealed 😉
