FCP7 is dead. Why can’t there be a new FCP7?

Disciplines are merging, to be sure. To be honest there is not a single NLE out there that meets my needs totally. And if I’m going to be honest with myself that is not going to happen anytime soon, if ever. And, Bill, if I am not mistaken, a big point you are making is that these folks who make the tools with which we make our living do not derive a huge profit from NLE’s but make most of their money from other parts of their businesses. If so, point taken.

yes. It’s not like Apple can’t do this – look at multi-cam or the power windows, or the half incredible inspector lead timeline instance audio manipulation behaviour – all that aside, recently it’s like watching someone refrain from competition. Apple could pretty obviously kick seven kinds of ass depending on how inclined they are.
Even on keyframing – it feels like they’re nibbling around the edges – why not just tear it up a little? On market metrics they’ve definitely got a user base that can take some experimentation. They’re not supporting grannies and ten year olds with X – they’ve got a largely professional portion of what they had with 7 –
why not try to hit a ball pretty fast?

Maybe there’s a method to the madness… First few versions were all about getting the features working… multicam etc. Next few were bugs mostly. Then a big change to the the media management/Libraries. Then bugs related to that. What’s that leave? Timeline. Who knows…

Meh… They’ve never spent time tooting their own horns. Maybe they should, but they don’t.

Or just make the darn “send to Motion” work! The biggest single reason I see local clients move to Premiere is mainly because of the Dynamic Link integration with After Effects.

that might yet stand as the understatement of the century.

“Timothy, It’s a subset of that point.
It’s that we all work in a niche (Professional Video Production) that traditionally has been small and very much catered to as something central to the development and operation of prestige software. When only Hollywood and the Networks played in the space, the priests of the realm were “special.”
Now, video is everywhere and it’s not tens of thousands of players with an interest in video production, it’s millions. So any company looking to serve the new market has to do it differently than they served the older market.
Put more simply, you can’t really service an industry based on $5000 camcorders and $300 software the way you can service an industry based on $100,000 studio cameras and multi-thousand dollars a year service contracts.
So a new model of everything is required. One that serves ever larger customer groups, rather than a small and comparatively technically sophisticated niche users.
The good news is that even while the market has undoubtedly cheapened and broadened, the quality of the actual imagery that the creative pro can deliver at an extremely modest price point has skyrocketed.

apple might want to do something – realising parts of your cut can mainline into after effects from drag selecting specific chunks of the edit is slightly surreal.
for general purpose stuff at 1080p when I get back it seems to be – pretty much? – playing the stuff not caring at half res. and thats with multiple vignettes and masking with type stuff and other plugs.
madness this really: and quite a fiercely effective workflow.

in fairness: if that’s not true, what is?
