I recommend everyone watch the entire SuperMeet “sneak”

[ Aindreas O Gallchoir]“Ultimately If the updates are going to keep adding ‘let me do that for you’ features, am I just keep finding myself struggling to avoid prosumer tools messing with me, then maybe the product is being pointed at another category? one that rhymes with drosumer?”

Oh please!!!
Stop it already. It’s starting to hurt!
The auto stuff is there IF YOU WANT TO USE IT! You don’t have to. If you want do it the hard way or if the auto stuff can’t fix it well enough, just turn it off!

What is it with all the unfounded negative stuff? Is this coming from insecurity because the application is now more affordable and more people can compete with you or what?

[Aindreas Gallagher]

Ha! Yes Roland – quite – the demo film *is* the new zabruder reel…

I still don’t understand what is wrong with a auto color balance?
If a Camera can do it why not NLR software?? Besides if your footage balanced correctly shouldn’t FCPX recognize this?

[Aindreas Gallagher]

Get ready for the pain – I freakout like, all the way down this thread, and I would say I’m not freaking out on the price, I’m freaking out because I have a propensity to go headless chicken…

I think you’re better off logging off and coming back on June 9th before you have a heart attack with all the ungrounded assumptions this thing is trigging on you. 😀

[Eric Jurgenson ] “I think Apple probably made a mistake showing product this early, and I’m guessing that a June release is far too optimistic. I’m thinking more like a year from now, unless they release a buggy mess.”

First of all they actually showed transitions on the demo.

Second, I think they just didn’t have enough time to show more and wanted to show the NEW stuff and the flashy stuff at that.
Apple was never known for missing release dates. It’s not RED we are talking about here.
Surely it will have bugs. ALL new software do and surely did FCP7. But to think Apple announced it too early is honestly a foolish thought. They probably have been working on this since FCP6, reason FCS 3 was so lack luster and cheaper and not even called FSC 3. They knew it was just a matter of time. I’m sure they were not early at all. They had it well planned.

Oh God! Bring out the shrink. 😀

[Roland Manuel]

[Adam Claude Jones] “Oh God! Bring out the shrink. :D”

Shrink Wrap Version you say? Cripes, I heard they were only going to supply FCPX via the App Store now. Ah wait, that means I’ll have to download it onto my iPhone, Sync it to my laptop, then transfer it to the Main Machine, stop me if I am getting things wrong here please. This is going to take a long, long time. Think I’ll scrap it all and go with Vegas, I read a quote of a blog somewhere that said it could do everything that FCP XXI wouldn’t even hope to do and all on a platform that met every dead line it made, ate bugs for breakfast (might only be a rumour about senior execs.) and never, ever, ever released a piece of software before they new it would work perfectly.

Eh, what was the number of your shrink?

For the first time I feel compelled to jump ship and dive into apple sphere. I have worked with edit* Avid, Premier, cinegy.. (all great apps).

After seeing the videos of the presentation I got the drift of why so much insecurity on the new app. Inmop its all about change and fear of something new. It looks much more complicated than doing it the current way.

I personally like it and look forward to purchasing it, I would probably need to watch the tutorial about a thousand times but I am sure that I will get it and then breeze through my projects.
