Larry Jordan speaks about FCPX
-
[Clayton Burkhart] “It’s clear to me that round tripping from an application like Color is too complicated for that kind of user experience.”
Color is not nearly as seamless as it should be or needs to be now Clayton, and rather than fix an old horse that’s getting ready to die Apple is making it better.
FCP X may not be right on day one, and it may never be right for everyone, but it will do most of the day to day things you’re doing now in far better ways than whatever you’re using today.
You really should sluff off all that anxiety and relax a little. Things will reveal themselves soon enough. And, don’t expect perfection on day one, this is version 1 of an entirely new and very sophisticated NLE.

[Simon Ubsdell] “The big news story (from the start of part 3) is the one headlined by those great guys at fcp.co, to quote:
FCPX 1.0 “It will not be ready for professional use” says Larry Jordan
Now that’s what I call a “jawdropper”!”
There’s a huge difference between “Hey, it’s probably not a great idea to move critical production workflows to brand new 1.0 software” (what Jordan appears to be saying) and “Apple is deliberately abandoning professional users because they’re more interested in shiny toys” (the line the trolls are pushing).
The former isn’t a “jawdropper”. It’s common sense. Had Jordan clearly said the latter that would have indeed been significant, but that’s not the impression I got.

Hang on a second. Just because I have a point of view and choose to express it, doesn’t mean that I happen to have any anxiety or stress around it. What would I have stress about? I can always continue using FCP 3 Suite. Please don’t confuse me with someone else on these boards.
I do use Apple Color EVERY day with a control surface and it is hard to see how this a step forward for serious grading. I will reserve judgement until I see it for real though. -

Clayton,
From my perch at the top of this forum I see everything that comes across this board, and I can easily spot “Chicken Little syndrome,” i.e. a completely speculative, constant, and very negative series of posts, which I believe is caused by the pent-up, pre-release frustration and anxiety brought about by Apple’s blackout on reliable information.
You are the just latest, and you’re entirely welcome to say whatever you wish, and to post any point of view you desire, but don’t expect that an “open mic” means no heckling from the audience.
Many before you have vented their frustration and then become quite calm after myself and others give them shit. It seems to be good therapy and I hope it works for you as well. 🙂

With respect, how can you possibly know that?

Hey, you know, lighten up a little maybe? It was meant to be a light-hearted reference to what has become Larry’s signature phrase since he first coined it.

[Simon Ubsdell] “With respect, how can you possibly know that?
“Because I was at the LAFCPUG meeting just last night as a “guest guru,” where I saw Phil Hodgetts completely dissect and digest just about every single known aspect of the new software, and because I later discussed much of it with him, and then had dinner with him and where we further discussed it all.
Phil has been acknowledged by those on the Apple development team as being “scary right” about most things he’s ferreted out in his extensive sleuthing of FCP X, which he’s actually been doing for the last 2 to 3 years as it’s been on Apple’s proverbial workbench.
The underlying core of the new software is something he pointed out first, and it’s been verified by Apple. And, it’s not Quicktime, and it’s quite superior. See the YouTube video below for a taste.
Here’s a shot of Phil from last night:
And, here’s just a small taste of what he divulged last night, he went well beyond this however, having had more info and additional months to do his detective work:

[David Roth Weiss] ” if you’re among the small percentage of FCP users working in Hollywood on movies and TV shows you’re most likely not in Apple’s wheelhouse any longer.”
Why is this an assumption when so many TV series a in Hollywood are cutting on FCP? Features too.

I was also at the meeting. I sat in the back and laughed at people that seemed to be having a breakdown when they discovered that certain features were likely not part of FCPX. In a way I can understand their frustration though. Yes FCP7 works fine right now, but someday in the future it won’t be supported by new Apple hardware and people will possibly have to find a completely new workflow. Change isn’t always easy.
