Is it all over?

Fourth of July weekend. Everyone finally stepped away from the computer and went outside for a bit.

It won, hands down. It is only us – the old, the foolish, those unable to learn new things, unable to accept change, those that cling desperately to the old ways – who do not accept FCPX’s universal appeal. (Though I do like it for some jobs.)

Sorry, looks like Adobe won! I mean just paying a monthly rental fee is so exciting. 🙂

The update came and went. Nobody’s excited anymore… until the next update?

There’s no winning here. The most recent update didn’t have many sexy new features, but very solid pro-workflow oriented changes to media management and XML import/export. In fact, Apple actively avoided mentioning a big list of new generators, transitions, and effects because they didn’t feel they were important enough.

Complaining about where X’s feature set is today is like complaining about where Premier’s feature-set was 4 years ago. By that I don’t mean that X is behind 4 years behind. As a growing application it’s remarkably strong in some areas, and still needs work in others.

And of course now we’re likely in for a bit of a stretch before X is updated again- perhaps a maintenance update in the next month or two, and then a strong 10.1.4 later this year after Yosemite is out. With Media Management pretty well nailed down, what’s next? Audio? Editorial features? Color correction? Timeline organization? Will be interesting to see what they tackle next.

Only disappointed to see that GPU RED acceleration didn’t make it into this update.

FCX won? Won what? Some sort of booby prize?

Nobody was complaining in this thread. (Unless you took my irony for complaining.)

Just generally. Nothing specific to what’s been said here.

Really?
