Apple has not abandoned you. Good read for the naysayers :)

[Buddy Couch] “Interesting you guys use the term professional a lot. Professionals I know do not switch software packages in the middle of projects. I am not pointing you out in particular, but quite a few on here have obviously done so.
It certainly makes me not take their opinion seriously. As far as not posting, I read mostly. Its where you learn the most you know? Listening and reading. To be honest the only reason I signed up to post here was the simple fact FCP X is completely new. There are no existing forums to use the search function on. I was forced to inquire rather than read existing information.
There you go, now you know why my account was created on release day.”
Fair enough.
Do professionals change software in the middle of a job? Generally no, at least not on their main working system. Most will run it for a while on a second system until a few updates have come out, and it has proven stable.
There are over a million FCP licenses out there. If even a tenth are working professionals of some type, that would be a large population group. Too large not to expect a few of them to be knuckleheads.
I see posts all the time in the FCP forum that make me wonder how the poster is able to get paying gigs. And yet they do…Scott Sheriff

Buddy “I guess its off to Avid for most.”
Wrong. Anyone that uses AE and PS lots is probably heading in the direction of CS5. Great interactivity between apps.
Anyone thats had to put up with Avids stodgy GUI, their cavalier attitude
and general foot dragging regarding innovation, is also heading for CS5.Tom Daigon

I work with AE CS5. I avoid editing like the plague. I treat it like an evil little brother, you don’t like him but you have to play with him every now and again :). Compositing has always been my passion. I bought FCPX and Motion 5 with hopes to migrate completely to my Mac. I have high hopes for Motion, not so much for FCPX. It does what I need it to do, which is more documentary type stuff. Formats aren’t an issue for us as we use HDSLR for footage.
I have yet to figure out how to sync the audio from separate recorder. Its supposed to do this automatically the way I understood it. I am sure some input is required anyway.
I really like Sony Vegas Pro 10 and would have bought it instead of FCP if it was on mac. In my opinion its amazingly powerful for a software that I never really considered ‘pro’. The sound controls are really nice.

In some respects I agree with you.
But you have to remember he said he was primarily a compositor, and not an editor.Scott Sheriff
