We’ll discuss later the meaning of the word “guru.” For now, enjoy Gary’s article. 🙂

Jumping to Adobe CS5 is seamless and easy. No cash flow problems at all. It can be configured to feel like FCP 7 in terms of keyboard commands and its not an iMoive knock off 😉

I meant Apple’s cash flow in response to Tim’s comment.

I remember the anguish with Snow Leopard as a quantum improved OS and it’s initial poor support of XDCAM etc.
FCP is a complete rework. Give it time to mature.
Anyone expecting this release to be turnkey for your Professional PostProduction house here and now is deluded and ignorant. Seriously.
For the Adobe fans, remember the guy who started that, started THIS.
I think the UI has enormous potential. It is waaay to early to make final calls on FCP X in the pro world.

It’s a 1.0 release and it’s been out for 2 hours. You people are so silly.

[Tim Wilson] “As for the “they should have told us,” they kinda did, by making sure that a hardcore pro like Gary Adcock is one of the people who got a pre-release version, where he says flat out that is not a release designed for pros.

And fwiw, the Apple demo said almost as much….”
Tim,
Sorry, but to suggest that the sneak in Las Vegas implied that FCP X was less than professional software is at best misleading. Maybe you could argue that what they showed inferred that it was less than professional, but when their lips flapped, the guys from Apple did their best BSing to dissuade the audience from thinking that.
Keep in mind, they saw the Editor’s Lounge with Mark Raudonis and Terry Curren in advance of the so-called sneak, and it’s clear to me now that when they got up on that stage in Vegas they were doing their best damage control to counter what Mark and Terry had said previously on the record. What they said was far from any type of admission on their part that FCP X was less than professional, and saying that makes you sound a little like an Apple apologist at this point .

Uh…Randy Ubilos wrote the original Premiere, which was for amateur editing and not a particularly wonderful experience. Premiere Pro is the total re-write done by others within Adobe.

“Come now, it’s a 1.0 release that’s been out since well before the April sneak preview. That fact that Apple chose to speak publicly about some things and not about others is certainly grounds for infuriating users and for calling Apple to task.

[Tim Wilson] “There are business law obligations that prevent them from talking about timelines. You have to defer the revenue tied to the value of those promised features until the feature is delivered.”
This is clearly a convenient argument that companies like Apple use to allow themselves to cherry pick the things they want to release while avoiding those things they think will prove to be negative.
The entire sneak preview would most likely fall under the so called “business law obligations” if that were truly the guiding force behind all of Apple’s decisions regarding what they chose to say versus what they avoided like the plague.
Using the legal argument is just Apple’s way to give their cherry picked release of information some semblance of credence, and to shut down all laypersons who think lawyers are gods. Believe me, I have a Harvard Law educated brother who uses that technique all the time, and it’s absolute bull tooty.
