Just opened FCPX for the first time
I decided to download the trial of 10.0.1 this week. Now I understand why everyone is so bummed. Talk about reinventing the wheel. I really would have been happy with a 64bit, multiprocessor aware version of 7, with a few tweaks here and there, like a moving timeline and things like that. I know I am late in this assessment but I really don’t see how this application can ever really be usable in a professional post environment without evolving it back to where 7 is now. I haven’t seen a mistake this bad since New Coke. ( although some say that was calculated.)

It’s a reprehensible piece of software for anyone who wants the freedom and creativity of a multi-track based NLE
Never have I felt so encumbered with illogical non-sense like the redonkulous autoscrubber, dumbed down mag timeline, a missing viewer, and having to fill gaps in and a malformed position tool. Que banjos
It blows. It is really the end for Apple in any enterprise niche.
Randy should be fired. Apple should apologize for the absolute disingenuous rollout and deceptions at NAB. They should be chastised for ANY attempt in the future to market ANY of their branding using pros.
The hard ware is probably next. They are just lucky their products can perform even in the laptop level today to meet professional needs. But now the price doesn’t justify their deceptions and discontent they have shown the professional user base they were happy enough to spooge off branding their products for years…

Welcome to the learning curve, dude.
Tough it out or dive out. We’ve all had to face the same decision.
This is not the old FCP in any way shape or form.
Some have come to see the potential. Some can’t see any potential at all.
Nobody will know who’s right until the dust clears in a few years.
Ain’t change wonderful!

I was just going to suggest reading the last couple of pages of posts. It’ll be like riding a time machine into the future!

Just scrolling the first page and seeing the pejoratives thrown at the unhappy, and made to eat dirt, users as if they are just inventing those very tired insults today proves this…
My tired ol rants will live on as long as this deformed reject of a software breathes and people still throne it with a kings party hat as the revolution to…whatever they think it revolutionized…twatter-verse maybe

Allow me to summarize.
Anyone who likes the program also likes Kool-aid a lot
Anyone who doesn’t like the program eats gruel from wooden bowls.
The rest is just a bunch of boring technical stuff.

Then why call it FCP? o right the Marketing department wanted the consumer to feel Pro.
I wear many hats.
