Bill, I may have been a bit disrespectful in referring to us as Fuddy-Duddies; however, at the advent of the digital watch, the skills of a craftsman watch-builder were no longer necessary to achieve the same goal….a paradigm shift occurred……Apple is King at technological paradigm shifts. Its sounds like we are doing the same thing. We are using the tools that benefit our skills while keeping a watchful eye on Apples new paradigm……but I do disagree with you in that they should honor the current skills of the trade in the midst of trying to move forward and if they don’t they are arrogant skonks. People felt the same way about Apple for not allowing Flash on their mobile devices, we know how that turned out.

LOL, Hey, why are you bashing my timeless, trite and over-quoted phrase? It’s a powerhouse when people cling tooth and nail to only the things they know.

I don’t understand why you say “them”, is FCPX somehow the property of teenagers?

Isn’t that’s what we’re talking about when we start to use lots of three letter phrases. To me, the very nature of the beast, is going to make it more attractive to those with less baggage. It’s not that us old folks (like me and you?) can’t appreciate and use it but I think the younger folk who have neither the built in resentment nor the preconceptions about workflow, will be much more open to it.
