[Aaron Cadieux] “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.”
You are so… clueless… no one here is worried about anyone taking anyone’s job because FCPX is sooo great! – people are angry that the software is sooooo bad.
For example:
1. No decent tape export controls so we can send the finished projects to broadcast stations.(broadcast is not impressed by Apple and FCPX)
2. Not being able to send a product to sound post – not a big deal unless you are a pro.
3. Having to recreate old projects in order to use the benefits of the new software, tedious and a waste of time.
4. Not being able to use all the screen real estate for a timeline because of the one window concept – necessary if you have a complicated job. Bins were great, so were sequences – it kept a very complicated job in one easy to work with project.
4. etc. etc. etc. (it’s well documented here)I have to laugh – I doubt anyone is worried that FCPX will make anyone a better editor, in fact I believe it will make anyone using it worse which will cut down the competition. If people want to use bad tools, be my guest – please use iMovie as that really has less features and is therefore even better by your logic!

I think the problem here is that a lot of high profile/high end users on this forum (and the FCP forum) all believed they should have been involved somehow in the development of FCPX; either consulted or beta tested. They were not and have taken a personal offence to it. In someways I don’t blame them.
But to try and drag everyone else along with them is what I don’t like.
For me, I am giving it a go, as a ‘toy’, for the next 3 months so that when the ‘pro features’ are added I will be ‘up-to-speed’ with the workflow and interface.
Its at that time I would be interested if the ‘pro’ community will come crawling back or allow pride to stifle their advancement.
Surely you professionals can see whats going on? Its not rocket science. FCP 7 will live on until people acclimatise . . .Sam Cole

Don’t quit your day job.
I bet your a much better dishwasher than you are writer or ‘editor’.
But that isn’t really saying much.
You at least managed to get through two posts without a typo. It shows that remedial English class is paying off.By the way, next time I come through the drive-thru make sure you Super-size my order like I asked. And the fries were cold too.

The only tool that will make Aaron a better editor is an enema, a brain transplant, or both. Even apple can’t fix stupid.

Yeah, you guys have it right, we’re scared, or just scorned
that we weren’t involved in the beta…. riiiiight. -

Yes Aaron, you have taken your lumps for your whining on the Business and Marketing Forum, but this time around you’ve crossed the line.
You have absolutely nothing of value to add to the on-going dialog here, and you’ve simply waded in with with insulting and derisive comments on a subject you know absolutely nothing about.
If don’t immediately cease and desist what you’ve started here, I assure you, you will be toast. Permanently!
Is that what you really want?

You guys really want to waste your time arguing with some stranger who’s happily yanking your chain?

He’s no stranger Ted. He’s been a problem on the Cow before, and this time I think he may have pushed the envelope one too many times.
