Not irrelevant on this forum, as this probably means we are going to wait longer time for next release of FCPX!

I’m on FCP 6, would spending $299.00 for the FCP 7 upgrade be a big advantage for me or should I take the $299.00 and put that towards the special promo being offered from Adobe for the Creative Production Bundle.

FCP 7 was a very minor upgrade. The best thing really was the speed change setting had a ripple or not option. Other the that you really had to look to find what they added. I’d invest towards something else if I were you.

Something else to think about- FCP6 doesn’t work in Lion, FCP7 does. If you want to keep up to date, then might be a consideration 🙂

Spoke to Apple. They’re not offering the upgrade edition, just the full one. 🙁

[Thomas Morter-laing]

Which is frankly silly. Although if it’s taken you 2 years to upgrade, then there must be limits to how much they can be blamed…

Yeah, I hear you! 😉

I was in my early days as a freelance in London when I got FCStudio 2 and a MacBook Pro with some money I inherited, so finance was a major issue and I couldn’t really consider FCStudio”3″ when it came out. By the time my career had got going properly and I could afford it, it was getting to the point where a new version was likely to come out.

The companies I mostly work for stayed with FCStudio2 for way more reasons than it’s worth going into, so, given they were going to jump straight to an expected “FCP8,” I figured I’d wait for “FCP8” as well and buy a new MacBook Pro at the same time.

FCPX launched while I was on holiday and I didn’t find out about the row until a week later. Apple’s idiocy in not running the old licences longer has severely messed up my plans (and lost them quite a lot of my money, not that they’ll care!) I can’t upgrade to Lion right now and nothing about FCPX is vaguely attractive to me.

My copy of Premiere Pro CS5.5 arrived last week and apparently a couple of my employers have their Production Premiums on the way.

Realistically, the only reason, most of the time, for me to have FCP7 now is to be able to export projects as xmls to use in Premiere Pro on a new MacBook Pro with Lion! On a practical level I can just about get away with what I’ve got, but an upgrade edition is something I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled for!
