Final Cut Pro X – SERIOUS ONLINE PETITION – Lets send a message to Apple
I’ve created a serious user petition for Final Cut Pro X
There are two main objectives for this petition:
1- Request the addition of 10 key features necessary for the new software to be used in environments such as TV Stations, Feature Film Editing, Production and Post Production Houses
2- Release Final Cut Pro 7 as a free download to those who bought version X, in order to provide a legal way for us to keep using the product when adding new editing stations, while these 10 key features are not in place in the new software. (Same as they did with iMovie)
Please help us take the message to Apple! Click on the link bellow to sign the petition

Here it is:
To: Apple Inc
Apple recently introduced a completely new version of Final Cut Pro that immediately replaced the previous one. Although modern and revolutionary in many ways, this new version X lacks at least 10 main features required by any professional who uses Final Cut on TV studios, Feature Film editing, Production and Post-Production houses.
In order to keep expanding the numbers of Final Cut Pro editing suites on these places we request that the Final Cut Pro 7 application should be temporally available for free as a download to all of those who bought Final Cut Pro X, while these 10 key features are not addressed in the X release.
They are:
Add ability to import and export XML files natively;
Add ability to import previous Final Cut Pro projects natively;
Add ability to export OMF files natively;
Add ability to change a project’s frame rate after it’s been created;
Add ability to read and write projects stored on an network or SAN volumes;
Add ability to switch the Final Cut Pro X layout to a more traditional 2-monitor setup;
Add ability to preview true video signal, independent from the 2-monitor setup;
Add support for Multicam editing;
Add support from capturing and recording to tape, not only via capture now but also via batch capture and print to tape natively;
Add support for importing image sequence files such as DPX and OpenEXR;Sincerely,
Final Cut Pro Users
Sincerely,The Undersigned

Add ability to chose any pixel dimensions for project – any aspect ratios – not just the standards. Projection industry is boomong – theatres and other needs projection dimensions and forms that we never seen before on this planet :-D.

Hi, could you add ability to have old timeline or now missing edit features in you petition ?

Add EDL-support, be it “old” it’s still widely used when dealing with projects originating from film. That said, XML-support is getting better and better on the telecine-side. Ironic Apple can’t keep up with their own standards.
