Upset Final Cut 7 User

This workflow could not be achieved with FCPX. It will work fine with FCP7, and would with several other less expensive options. But you have FCP7, its a great piece of software for what you want to do, and there will be no translation issues going to an FCP7 post facility.

I have to give credit where credit is do, after a couple phone calls to Apple Business they did agree to comp. me the upgrade.
It was based on two reason’s I missed the automatic update period by 2 days and when I ordered the FCP I also ordered my Mac took 3 – 4 weeks to arrive so I couldn’t even load Final cut until almost May.

I want to thank everyone for the feedback as I am sure as I move forward I will be reading more post’s. The one thing that came through load and clear is FCP X is not the same product as FCP 7.03.
However I did ask at the Apple Store if the are still selling the older version and they are not and the only upgrades going forward will be for FCP X.
If FCP X doesn’t have the muscle for high end user’s they must have another plan comming …
