    [Florian Gintenreiter] “Honestly: who is using SD cards? Not one professional DSLR or videocamera uses SD cards.”

    I missed that blanket statement before. When you make these kinds of statements, you really need to do your research first.

    https://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/avchd-home.asp

    Panasonic has a whole lineup of pro cameras that use SD cards. We’re going to be using a few in an upcoming television series.

    There are other cameras out there, but these are the ones I’ve tested and they’re awesome for what they are.

    “Not one professional DSLR camera uses SD cards?”.

    Really? Not even the Canon 5D and 7D that everyone seems to be using? Those use SD cards.

    Hate to break it to you, but those both use compact flash cards where the T2i uses SD cards.

    I t was not my intention to start rumors, but rather to hear your opinion on those rumors that make sense to me.
    I have to apologize for the “blanket statement” about SD cards, though. It is true that some semiprofessional and some professional camcorders use SD cards. With an xpress slot and a adapter those can be ingested though, which does not work the other way round for SxS cards on an SD slot for example.

    I never mentioned that I wanted to edit on a 15” notebook. I use it mainly for ingesting, backup and the occasional rough-cut in the field.

    Switching editing-systems ist not a trivial task, as some posters suggested. There is bags of terabytes of media, project-files, tons of money spent on plugins and hardware that makes a switch a bag of hurt no matter in which direction you are migrating.
    That is the reason why I want to put the money on the right horse. It’s also true that an editing system will work, even when it is no longer made by the manufacturer, but no 3rd party development will commence and that 3rd party software is one of the reasons FCP is such a widespread NLE.

    Folks who left were in support, not engineering. Next release will be awesome.

    Yes, this has been discussed in multiple threads already over the past few months.

    Just stumbled across this thread from ’10. I took a beating back then, but boy was I right. I remember Walter Biscardi being very public with his decision to leave FCPX and Apple after the Release of FCPX, here he was one of the Apple defenders. Funny read.
