Is FCPX really worth it?

“I understand where it came from. Really, I do. This doesn’t make it any less difficult to work with or use on a shoot and work around its obvious limitations. Hopefully it gets better in the next release!

[Oliver Peters] “[Jeremy Garchow] “So they only lent it to him for 72 hours to take some pictures? Come on….”
What’s your point? And did you watch the video I just linked? I think it explains it pretty clearly. Also the events as discussed – the design for AP and then Laforet testing out a beta version of the camera – were also personally reiterated to me by both Laforet and Maschwitz in interviews. So I take them at their word.

“Yeah, within 10 seconds they were talking about making films. I do not disbelieve anything here. Im not discounting laforet and maschwitz or their accomplishments.
This video even further describes what the naysayers have been saying about FCPX. “Mainstream filmmaking”.

Truth be told, we both had slots that night I believe, but Avid did indeed have the bigger exposure for that night…

[Tim Wilson] “There was unquestionably positive reaction, but quite a bit that was not.”
I kept my expectations against most negative reactions.
I installed FCPX the day of the release; half hour later I felt like a fool.
rafael[Tom Klein] “I’m glad apple let out a “Download 30day trial” of FCPX, it convinced me that FCPX is not that good.”
That was later.
When i tried the first day of the release, I found a kind of alien taken the place of FCP and FCS disappeared.
I felt like twisting some necks in Cupertino.About DSLRs and FCPX: no so long ago you had FCP and a DV camera with a tripod and you could start your own business.
Now you have a FCPX a DSLR and a tripod and you are nowhere.

Why?
“My Name is Steve and I’m an FCPX user”

[Dennis Radeke] “Truth be told, we both had slots that night I believe, but Avid did indeed have the bigger exposure for that night.”
And most of the entire industry thought it was just Avid that got elbowed out of the way. Kudos to Adobe for not whining and playing the sympathy card. 🙂

Avid had booked a special guest (Kevin Smith) for the SuperMeet, which was part of the draw for that year in the absence of Apple. They also put up sponsorship money. Changing the agenda sent them scrambling for another venue to present Smith. So it was a lot more than simply bumping a staff presenter for a 10-20 minute portion of the night.

Yeah, I didn’t mean my ‘whining’ comment to be taken as disparaging of Avid. I know they were badly hosed by Apple and the User Meet people who perhaps should have been less willing to do Apple’s bidding.

[David Roth Weiss] “The “big” question I’d like to pose to all FCPX debaters at this point in time is this, is FCPX really worth all the “high drama” that Apple set in motion throughout the industry since it took over the big SuperMeet at NAB in April? “
Short term paoin. Long term gain.
FCP X had to happen sooner or later and it was not going to be pretty. IE OSX 9 OSX. In the long term I think it is a better piece of modern software built to work with the new OS and hardware.
Divorce is never easy.

In fairness, I think they were put between a rock and a hard place.
