I think just pour yourself a large cup of coffee and work your way through the last few months of posts on here, you’ll get all the information you need from that

[Richard Tarantino] “Do you have any suggestions what we should look into or explore?”

The problem is we have too many suggestions, and they’re not in agreement. As Steve Connor suggested, set the forum back about 6 months and start reading. I’d recommend the threads where you see the blood leaking onto the screen for starters.

…and for those who wonder about the holding pattern, in an FCPX facility I’m aware of, they say FCS legacy is working under Mountain Lion so far. Interesting because I had thought that would be the nail in the coffin for Legacy.

Hi Craig,

You mentioned this FCPX facility in my hardware thread last night. This is very interesting, have they written an article for the COW yet? If not, is there any way of coaxing them into sharing their experiences with the wider community?

Thanks,
Chris

There appears to be blood leaking on to my screen all the time. I thought it was just me. But now with this Smoke rumor which, from what I read, involves FCP X, I don’t know what to think.

As long as the Carbon and QuickTime APIs are still there, legacy FCP should still work. I think both of those had been deprecated already (at least in part), but that doesn’t mean they are gone from Mountain Lion. Just that their days are numbered.

(I can’t say for sure because the Mountain Lion dev notes are still under NDA).

Best,
Andy

I’ve wanted to interview them. I think it would be an interesting article. They declined. Their comments to me were they’ve extremely busy and they having nothing to prove in this FCPX battle. It’s working fine for them and they prefer it over Legacy and the competition as well. I can imagine they don’t want to deal with getting scrutinized publicly (given there’s some extreme prejudice against X and it’s users/advocates) which may well detract from their day to day work. They say they are broadcast. They are not in the USA.

I would say it involves FCP7 more than FCPX.

What you mean with Prosumer? (an amateur user of electronic equipment that is of a standard suitable for professional use)
But if Final Cut Pro X is a consumer product, then the soccer Moms are educated in the Film/Video editing business.
I would give it the 30 Day trial a run. On all platform!
