Thoughts on why FCP X is here to stay and the Mac Pro isn’t.

[Paul Jay] “Im tired of the Apple isnt for Pro whining by professional whiners.”

Imagine how tired people are of people who call other people whiners.

Well, I guess we’re even, because I’m equally tired of your one-note hit-and-run braying.

[Jim Giberti] “[Robert Bracken] “I’m really excited to see where FCPX will go. It will achieve great things.”

I don’t mean to nitpick Robert but this statement is in opposition to itself.”

It’s an ontological argument 😉

[Jim Giberti]

[Chris Harlan] ” one-note hit-and-run braying.”

I’m sure it was inadvertent Chris, but you just leaked the title of the new Michael Bolton release.

Now, that’s funny.

I just want to thank the Academy and Aindreas Gallagher without who’s inspiration, none of this would be possible.

Time for a sing along. Just substitute “whinger” for “ginger” in the chorus.

[Craig Seeman] “As am I. If Apple isn’t in a given niche, somehow all the other professional uses don’t count…”

I believe that Apple’s recent behavior in the professional space has been poor [link], and I do fear that they have lost their commitment to professional markets. I think that for a while, Apple used to supply products built for professional use, but now they supply products that professionals can use — and I think that’s a subtle but important difference.

However, since you gentlemen maintain that Apple is actively building for professionals, please indulge me in a thought experiment:

If you didn’t already have Apple hardware and FCP7, would you really be buying iMacs and FCPX for all your professional work today?

Would you say that Apple’s March 2012 post-production offering has more or fewer significant gaps than Apple’s March 2011 (or better yet, Apple’s March 2010) post-production offering?
