Could it be…?

Agreed. Spot on analysis, Aindreas.

David,
You’ve really got to go back and listen to Pt-3 of the podcast you and I did seven months ago. It’s creepily and eerily prophetic.
And, the rest of you should take a listen too… It really is kind of strange to hear just how right-on Mr. Lawrence was about X, right out of the gate.

Let’s all not bear in mind that the “industry of editing” also exists outside of the areas we all work in. I’m sure that Aindreas is right about the lack of FCPX adoption in the mainstream broadcast environment, but that doesn’t mean the death of FCPX. How many people use Vegas or Edius in a broadcast environment?, yet they continue to survive and continue to be developed. Premiere survived for years without any substantial broadcast adoption.

“It’s really a good listen… Someday, hundreds of years from now, someone will unearth a copy, and they’ll really wonder just what Apple was really thinking, or smoking?

That’s the current debate in a nutshell. Was it a miss or was it a hit. Only Apple knows what they were shooting at. Of course there is also the notion that the internal gravitational powers of iThings was just so great that it mutated the product into something that is neither here or there. That’s pretty much what I, in my total ignorance of actual facts, subscribe to.

I almost agree with you Chris. Except, I think they just mutated the product into something that’s neither here nor there by sheer arrogance alone. I don’t think X is iWorthy of influence by any iThings.

Oh, I agree. My scenario is not arrogance-free. I’m just guessing that the internal power shift was so dynamic that it totally re-arranged who got to say what about FCP, mid-development. That would explain the buried artifacts and the rather bizarre inconsistencies in FCP X’s power and limitations.

I think you nailed it. There clearly was a major fork in development at some point mid-stream. Sequence.icns (still in 10.0.3) is proof. I’m also convinced the timing corresponds to AppleInsider’s article a year before release about the layoffs in Pro Apps. I know Apple PR claims these were all “support” people but the evidence of the release suggests otherwise.

It has been said that apple had an fcp8 but canned it. Maybe they are taking another look at.
