Is FCPX the Othello of NLEs?
-
The thing is Oliver, there’s no way there were anything like 500 undos associated with either project that had the issue. I don’t make that many mistakes .

The undo list is whatever you have done in the application; every step (except for a few) that you do get added to the undo list.
All the best,

It’s not mistakes. Make an adjustment in an effects parameters, that’s 1 undo. Make another, now that’s 2 undos. And so on.

yikes.
A good “top of the list” thing to address if you’ve removed the Command-S option.

[Rob Mackintosh] “Very well said.
I’m sick of all the half-assed testing I’ve had to do to make this software usable.
“If you don’t want major bugs and you want stability, NEVER use a version 1.0 product of ANY software, FCPX is a complete code rewrite, what did everyone expect? It will be at least a year if not more before it reaches even a basic level of maturity.
I’m using it, knowing full well there will be issues, as it happens I think it’s surprisingly stable and usable for a first release.

I think Apple simply learned from RED. Buy FCP X and you’ve signed on to be a permanent beta tester 😉

I expected it to be more solid than Avid MC 6, which it decidedly is not.

No, I get that Oliver, I was kidding. But it’s not funny that Apple removed the ability to save a project and replaced it with a sloppily conceived auto save concept with very serious limits.
Got to be fixed quickly.
That doesn’t work for any level of editor. -

You mean you expected a piece of version 1.0 software to be more stable than a version 6.0 one?“My Name is Steve and I’m an FCPX user”

I don’t believe they will. Look at the other current Apple software under Lion, such as Pages/Numbers/Keynote/TextEdit. There is no Save/Save As. There’s an initial Save A Version and Duplicate. I believe the FCP X design is very consistent with that.
