Death of Aperture-FCPX Next?

[Marcus Moore]

This is exactly the type of rumour mongering that I hoped would be avoided by Apple specific mentioning of continued development of Logic and FCPX in the Aperture press release. And then releasing an update today.

As I mentioned in another thread- it could well be that recoding Aperture for the new iCloud Drive based nature of Apple Photo management going forward was just too much work, and it was smarter to start from scratch.

Was Aperture even Cocoa yet?

I will give Apple credit for saying you can use your existing Aperture Library in the new photo app. They must have learned their lesson from the launch of FCPX.

When did Aperture receive its last update? Just curious.

[Greg Jones] “This is precisely why I would be nervous about using FCPX.”

It’s a pretty ridiculous claim if you consider for a moment. Apple is releasing a new photo app. A replacement for Aperture, it seems. It’s not like they’re getting out of the photo editing business. Just like when they EOL’d FCP7, it was because they’d released FCPX. Why would they have parallel development on competing apps?

And Apple isn’t the only company to do the same exact thing. Remember Liquid? Or Soundbooth?

From Macworld

The Photos app, previewed at the 2014 Worldwide Developers Conference, will become the company’s main photographic focus for both professionals and consumers. As it grows, Apple intends the single app to serve the needs of both consumers and professionals.

Comment from Twitter:

“So why would Apple not kill/merge #fcpx and iMovie into “Movies” app like they did with the photos app?” But then followed with a good reason: “That new Mac Pro.” The best “dongle” for FCX is that spendy tube.

Altough that does seem like it might happen…might be the death of iMovie, rather than the death of FCX

Seriously? It’s not a replacement for Aperture… it’ll be an “iToy” version. Why else would Apple work with Adobe to transition you over to Lightroom if you need the capabilities of Aperture? It’ll be like Pages and the rest… a shadow of it’s former self…

Oh, I didn’t realize you’ve seen it already. I thought Apple made all their beta testers sign NDAs?
