Chicken Little

[Greg Fulcher] ”
When you say “People who make a living off this are done…” I respectfully disagree. I make my living using FCP, just as I made my living using the Sphere and Media Composer for offline, and before that, reel-to-reel with an Ampex Ace 25 controller. I can still thread that 1″ VTR in my dreams.

Dear Greg, I started too with linear editing with the old ACE Micro (Heck ! I worked for a PBS station on a “Strassner”,I think that very few people even know
that this editor controller even existed: when didn’t work we actually called Mr Strassner directly!)
I always enjoyed learning new systems.
The goal is to tell a story no matter what system I’m on.
I was also a discreet edit* editor , a system that us editors help to implement.
when was pulled off the shelves we where really upset.
Many editors in this newsgroup recall this very well.
We used edit* for a little time after but without support we had to migrate
to something else, so how long do you think we can go on with FCS 3?
And what will happen to the companies that did a huge investment based on FCP?
I think that we have all the reasons to be mad at Apple.
my 2 cents.
