Apple looking to fix UI in FCPX?

[Steve Connor]

If nothing else it shows that Apple are serious about future development of FCPX.

interesting that they say bring it to “Final Cut Pro Studio” not FCPX which is no longer a “studio” — could final cut pro 8 be on the way?!?!?! 🙂

Could be the boiler-plate wording — maybe others are better at reading the chicken guts than me, but a lot of people voted with their feet and other body parts.

More than likely HR just copy/paste an old job description.

You’ll notice it says Final Cut Studio, NOT Final Cut PRO studio. Don’t know about studio, but everything internally calls FCP X “Final Cut” not final cut pro. Preferences, event folders, project folders etc. So I’d say the omission of the word PRO actually gives some legitimacy that it’s for the current iteration. By studio, they probably just mean the suite of apps – X, Motion, and Compressor. Which are pretty integrated. Except for the lack of “send to motion” which they dearly need to compete. In fact, a little more autodesk like integration with motion or a version of the app called FCP extreme 🙂 with motion stuff built in would be interesting.

What I find disconcerting about these ads is that the people they’re looking for are most likely an employee at autodesk or adobe or avid or somewhere pretty obvious. I would think searches for people like this would be a bit more private and behind the scenes.

It was always called Final Cut Studio. There was never a Final Cut Pro Studio.

My software:
Pro Maintenance Tools – Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise
Pro Media Tools – Edit QuickTime chapters and metdata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more
More tools…

Final Cut Studio? Wonder what Apple has in their pile of cards, perhaps an ace high with four kings.

I agree that “Final Cut Studio” is probably an internal Apple phrase for the suite of stuff they make, and perhaps are developing, to work with FCPX. Selling the pieces a la carte will likely remain the model. One of the reasons for bundling in legacy was a way to justify the $999 price. With the new apps going for the price of plug-ins, what is the point of selling an expensive bundle and scaring off the hard-won “editing for everyone else” market?

Ah true. Guess I was just reacting to that others had said Final Cut Pro Studio in the posts. So there goes another theory out the window.
