And the first major Hollywood feature to be edited in FCPX and released is…

[TImothy Auld] “Need I go through the list of software that Apple has purchased and then killed?”

Nope. Color. Shake. And some hardware. FCS still works just fine, though for how long who knows. By the time it’s dead I expect X/Motion/Logic to cover most of, if not all and more, of the functionality that FCS had. Unless you want to burn DVD’s, then you’re SOL. I wish they hadn’t killed iWeb, it was a great program. The code it wrote was a godawful mess though. I don’t blame Apple for killing it. 🙂

[Charlie Austin] “I’m sure Apple will put this on their In Action page at some point.”

I am not as sure as you. But if it does happen, be sure to let me know.

And, just speaking of DVD’s for a moment – wasn’t the last iteration on FCPX quite proud about its ability to create Blu-Ray? A format that Apple had all but abjured before that?

I dunno if I’d use “proud”. 🙂 But it’s a feature, yes. No DVD’s though….

Need I go through the list from Adobe and Avid, so as to put yours to shame?

Yes, seriously? Have you still not yet caught that utterly tired memes and logical fallacies such as those disqualify you from any discussion above troll-level?

[TImothy Auld] “wasn’t the last iteration on FCPX quite proud about its ability to create Blu-Ray?”

That only painfully underlines your apparent ignorance of any and everything FCP imho.

While certainly a bit off topic, I’d like to see the list you have with regards to video centric products from Adobe.

[Chris Harlan]

And MobileMe. I found that really useful, despite the silly name. At least they killed it with some notice, and I’d probably prefer dropbox these days, anyway.

Yeah, I kinda think you do.

lol. Avid hasn’t killed anything in 20 years, some might say *that* is the problem. 😉 Actually, they killed AudioVision which I loved. The move to PT kinda sucked.

And, until fairly recently, I don’t think anyone would have noticed if Adobe had killed any of their video apps.

[Chris Harlan] “And MobileMe.”

And FWIW, iCloud had included betas of Pages/Numbers/Keynote, which could be accessed on-line via a Mac or Windows browser. These have now been changed to only work if you upgrade iDrive, which requires Yosemite or iOS8 or later. Otherwise you are locked out of your on-line documents. Apple giveth and Apple taketh away. 😉

FWIW – last week I had to media management a film project to send off for grading. It was cut in FCP 7 and that’s where I did the clean up. FCP 7’s source/record layout, ganging and timecode overlay functions are still vastly superior to how this works in X. The latter may be more fun and faster to cut in, but for absolute, timecode accuracy, it really lacks when compared to FCP 7, PProCC or MC.
