    Excuse me, but who made the decision to make FCPX the ONLY Final Cut, and retire FCP7?

    THAT’S the person who should be fired. Let FCPX take it’s course. I will embrace it to teach my high school students.

    But I resent that, in order to create a “clear path” for the befuddles prosumer, Apple thought it necessary to completely junk an app that many of us will need to keep using, unsupported, for quite some time.

    I don’t think the man should be fired, but have him do what he does best. He really is an amazing engineer. He’s just wasn’t the right guy to be the designer. When I worked there (2000-2001), the designer was Brian Meeney, who was more of a video guy than a computer guy. Brian and Randy had their disagreements, but I think that was good for the product. I think that was, and still is, the right way to go. Have a creative person who understands the end-user as the designer, and a top notch computer guy as the lead engineer.
