To all the FCP-X Cry-Babies
“Wah! Wah! Apple’s going to make it easier for an ameature to do my job. Wah! Wah!”
That’s what all you crybabies sound like. Get over it. It’s not the tools you use to make the edits that matter. It’s the creativity behind the edit choices that makes the movie/video. Just like it’s not the bat that makes the hitter. It’s the talent that makes the hitter.
Any business that decides to let an ameature produce their videos with FCP-X over the professional with the proper software is not someone you should be doing business with anyway. They have no idea what goes into video production, and will be left wondering why they still received a crappy video even though they had the latest greatest editing software to make the video.
Newsflash . . . Apple doesn’t give a crap about you, or your business. They’re not going to pull FCP-X from their product lineup because it’s going to hurt your small business. Move on.
Do you think the cell phone companies give a crap about the factories that assemble pay phones. It’s the same thing with Apple and you.

Apple apparently did at one time care. They built the Final Cut Studio did they not?
I’m glad you’re happy with your $300 investment. Others here with many thousands or millions more invested I think are entitled to their complaints.

I wonder if you edit as well as you spell?

Actually I’m a much better editor than speller.
I take it you’re one of the crybabies?

If I wanted a spelling critique, I’d post in an English forum.

You stay classy Derek Zoo-land-der.
Uhh Earth to Matilda, I was at a day spa. Day, D-A-I-Y-E. Okay? -
Well, at least I know one amateur who won’t be taking any of our jobs. Hey Slick, you know what’s even more important to a potential client than creativity? Not being a jerk. I tell me students one important fact about finding work. People hire people they like. An above average mench will get hired over a brilliant schmuck every time.

I just think it’s a waste of time for everyone to cry about software. If a company wants to hire a “mench”, they have every right to do so. I’m not the one crying about how a “mench” is going to take my job.

I’m not even a FCP editor. And yes, I have 10s of thousands of dollars invested in my EQ as well. And just as people are entitled to their opinions, I’m entitled to mine. My comments weren’t aimed at a specific person.
I’ve whined and complained on the Cow before, and I took my lumps for it.

Mench? wait – what are you saying? God almighty but if you’re not Charlie Kaufman typing from mars we all have a problem here Aaron.
Please respond.

So instead of replying to that specific person, you create a new thread and accost everyone. Don’t want to know what’s going on in that brain of yours.

I’m sorry to say that to you, but if you think that this is what the people on this forum complain about, you missed the point completely and your whole insult is baseless.
