[kim krause] “i merely suggest if you have nothing better to do than bitch then maybe you should consider leaving the industry.”
You’re in no position to say anything like the above. It’s an open forum. Kindly stop telling people to shut up or quit the business, it comes off as both pompous and crass.

and i suppose your intolerance of my opinion is more valid…maybe i should have said “just shut your trap”

I do no object to your having an opinion. If fact I agree that one must change or stagnate. I simply dislike the offensive ways in which you seem compelled to express yourself.

You just have it all figured out don’t you…
But doubtful. You have displayed a gross lack of comprehension and stepped into this forum acting like a child condemning those for actions and DRAMA you yourself have only brought.
Those willing to engage with your trite nonsense will wane. You won’t find success here, or outside of this forum with your pitiful loathsome attitude…despite your “diversity”…
Being a jerk isn’t diverse. Like X, you will be alone in your sandbox

Still using Final Cut 6. Works great, meets my needs. Final Cut 7 was just to keep the wolves at bay, Final Cut X pox…well…I let everyone else go there.
Apple is making way to much money to really care about it’s video products. Once the iPhone came out, they switched the engineers to that department and only a few lonely people could even think about Final Cut.
Adobe has taken advantage and good for them. I have both Final Cut and Adobe CS5. I’m starting to lean toward premier simply because of the workflow with it’s other programs such as After Effects, Encore, & Photoshop. Much faster encoding, etc.

Andreas,
I love your passion, but it’s counterbalanced by your woeful grasp of how things were before you likely started playing the Photoshop game – For those of us who were around for it, let me tell you that in the beginning outputting Photoshop 1.0 work for professional use was an exercise in frustration that makes FCP-X feel like walking out of the desert only to be handed a bottle of Evian, a case of cold Carta Blanca, and a $1000 gift certificate redeemable at the local massage therapist/supermodel school.
I used to have to BEG local Linotronic operators to accept my early Photoshop files. It took 6, 7, 8 revs before I could get the 1.0 versions of the RIPS to put out a page with any reasonable grey-scale fidelity.
And god forbid you wanted to combine raster elements like photos with Postscript stuff!
Kearning pairs? You’re joking. Font substitution? Every damn time.It took patient YEARS to get that stuff sorted out into a consistently working model with the NEW standards.
I get that everyone has something that WORKS now. And that means there’s way more resistance to the change. But tech IS a change or die world. Anyone who doesn’t get this central reality is going to have big problems in the long run, IMO.
I don’t know if using FCP 7 is some day going to feel like ordering up an 85 line screen halftone for a newspaper ad. But I suspect that it will. The question is how long will it take the industry to lurch forward the next big jump.
FWIW.

sorry if i appear so outspoken but i just get so tired of all this doom and gloom…apple tried to make a product that would make the job of editting easier for more people. i have said many times that it might not be exactly what the “pros” would like but if people don’t like it then don’t buy it…move on and stop all this complaining and whining….there is too much negative energy going around here. we either can embrace the new way or stick to our tried and trusted ways or give up…those are the 3 options and there really isnt any other choice. if you dont like what apple has done to fcp then jump ship to avid or pp…thats what everyone did years ago when they all became fed up with avid and embraced fcp. back then fcp wasnt even close to fcpx now yet no one complained about it…they all jumped on board and years later it became and industry standard…i can remember when you had to be an engineer to edit on old 2 inch machines that cost 100’s of thousands of dollars…and that was only ntsc resolution, now we have a tool that brings a whole edit suite in the palm of your hand in glorious hd quality…i would say that this is somewhat magical and really should be praised for what it is and not criticized for what it isnt! so lets all stop complaining and get back to doing what we do best with whatever tools we should decide to use….i think i’ll go back to color correcting using and old box of crayons!

Bill, I adore your self regarding condescension, I’m PS 2.5 a growing. With regard to type I was always more concerned with H&Js in Quark. And really, there is nothing I love more than posts here that come off like a Monty python sketch of – when I were a lad and letraset were made of coal, let ye gather around and hear my wisdom – really, I love those posts. They are highly entertaining.
