I do not have explicit knowledge of FCP8. Wasn’t saying I did. Wasn’t implying I did.

Just repeating rumors I had heard multiple times. I had been told many times that there were efforts to bring 64 bit to the type of interface used in FCP7.

I am not breaking any news here…
Comment is misunderstood and taken out of context.

All I was trying to say to folks is move on from FCP 7. Apple has clearly decided to go in a new direction. People need to accept this and move on.

Don’t care which app you choose. For me it is both FCPX and Premiere Pro.

See Phillips excellent blog post on timeline of events.

This is not news, it is a misunderstood 10 second comment in a 90 minute talk.

Yeah, I highly doubt Apple had a completed FCP 8 then just pulled the plug.
