    Not that I really ever agree with him much but I thought he was a bit rough on Bill.

    I think it’s called cyber-bullying.

    The broadcast station I worked at for fourteen years was put through the Edit* painfest (although it paid for itself many many times over – and was in use at least three years after the EOL announcement from Discreet), and then through the AVID mega-sales pitch for the Newscutter, which was supposed to be upgradeable to HD via a simple card addition (the simple card addition was EOL’d before it ever L’d). We then moved on to the CS4 Suite, and they are now working away happily with several suites of CS6. Oh…I forgot to mention Combustion – we had opted for Combustion over AE because of Edit*, and then jumped to AE when Edit* finally went away.

    It’s just a fact of life that technologies change, companies make mistakes, both marketing, and design ones. And if you listen to the software and hardware companies, today’s cutting edge is next week’s museum piece. But then…I never ask a barber if I need a haircut…

    Wouldn’t really expect you to.

    Interesting that I just got my first non-FCP7 request two days ago, which was… wait for it… FCPX. And a narrative short of all things from a commercial director who decided to take a class in editing at a local film program and really likes FCPX’s interface and ease of use. I guess she didn’t get the memo…

    Actually, I am waiting to hear on another feature length documentary which also looks like it will be done in FCPX as well.

    Wow, thank you for clarifying this! It’s really the age of boulevard journalism and stories get told almost by Facebook-standarts these days…
    And for the iPhone/ google maps thing I apologize for ignoring the facts and just assuming stuff, thank you for the exact course of events on this…

    Please – Bill’s fine. And he is on the other side of the circus tent there. And – It was a good demo. I just thought to poke a stick.

    bullying… Bill?
    are you having a laugh? Bill has beaten a wide variety of people to a verbal pulp. I barely tweaked the man’s nose there.

    You can cut a lot of formats on fcx. No one has ever said or claimed you can’t. But when you have tv series switch from fcp7 to a more expensive avid share, or a network, even features, it says more than the stand alone editor choosing or requested to cut something on X who wouldn’t be getting the memo in a shared or facility environment…

    My pov, it’s a terrible terrible editor. And most editors I speak with certainly wouldn’t use x for anything.

    In 2 years now, I haven’t spoken with anyone, who has had any interest in using fcx to cut after giving it a whirl. Heads shake. It’s mind numbing how squandered this release was. I guess we’re all nuts…
