Steve Kanter: What FCPX CAN Do

[Gary Huff]

[Geoff Dills]My sense is the “pros” saw their skillset value suddenly plummet in the market place (though I suspect that’s only in their own heads…the ability to use tools to tell stories will always be marketable) and have continually found any way they can to denigrate this software as “crap”.

Well, Geoff, your sense is dead wrong.

[Geoff Dills]

[Mark Dobson] “i’m sure if you were there sitting next to Steve you would have pointed out his error and everything would have gone more smoothly.”

I think what was surprising was that out of a room full of knowledgeable people, not one person noticed. And don’t get me wrong, I thought he presented some good information. And I am a fan of X. And it was an easy, honest mistake. Just funny was all.

Best,
Geoff

[Gary Huff] “Well, Geoff, your sense is dead wrong.”

How would you explain it?

Geoff,

You’re clearly not a “pro” yourself, otherwise you would not put quotations around the word. So, what exactly makes you think that you have any idea what a pro thinks? And furthermore, since you have no actual frame of reference, why should anyone really care what you think about pros?

In fact, maybe you could be so kind as to tell me and the other Cow members here exactly what is it about Geoff Dills that should make us care about any of the words you write? Or, are you just like my dog, who licks his weenie just because he can?

I’ve seen other FCPX presenters make mistakes like this. Alas that’s the nature of a program which has no veterans yet. We’re all newbies on FCPX.

[Geoff Dills]

Classy reply David. The quotes were there to differentiate between people I consider real pros and the whining I see from alleged pros about this software.

Google me if you doubt my cred.

I have found your discussions so far to be rude, uninformative and not helpful in any way. All you want to do is dismiss any opinion which differs from yours and ridicule anyone who voices it. This will be my last response to any post by you.

Best,
Geoff

Odd stuff coming from a guy who just dismissed every single professional who disagrees with his point of view about FCP X.

Perhaps they should rehearsal their presentations before going on stage.

Because I can’t do my job with it?

I did and if this is you, then I fail to see where your experience jives with being able to diss professionals who feel abandoned by Apple who EOL’d FCP 7 and didn’t provide complimentary functionality in FCPX.
