Where is the best place to follow the supermeet reveal in real time?

[Alexander Higgins] “For people upgrading for iMOVIE, this is jaw-dropping. For people having to DOWNGRADE from Final Cut Studio, this is a Nightmare. Steve Jobbs can suck it. At least it might bring the industry back up to a better wage since Apple isn’t going to mess with the Pro Market anymore.”
Nobody HAS to downgrade. Nobody HAS to buy it. Although somebody, apparently, HAS to complain no matter what.

I can only speak for myself, but a lot of these new features are going to make my day to day life editing news a lot easier and better. And the price is low enough the suits may even spring for it without making me wait a year. The productivity improvement just from not having to render is a huge plus, and will pay fore the upgrade, never mind he auto-everything. If I can stop wasting time on mindless mechanics and concentrate on cutting a story. That IS huge. But I am also really curious about blue ray support because that’s what we hope to hang some of our HD archiving and distribution on. What of the other apps? DVDSP? Motion?
Just how cutting-edge does my hardware have to be to run this?

I’m hoping it will breathe new life into my 5 year old Mac Pro and run like a champ on my brand new Macbook Pro!

[Alexander Higgins] “This is it all folks.
No word on other applications like motion, dvd studio pro & color.
Hmmm………
That is because they are DEEED. So glad we invested in AVID last year. So Glad..”WOW!!??
No changes to Motion???
Holy crap!!!
If so, Premiere/After Effects here I come

I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been dropped them all together.
It’d be just consistent with their recent moves,
Shake dropped, DVD Studio Pro on deathbed for years.We can’t say we couldn’t see it coming (Blu Ray ignoring, no leading in innovation in por apps) .
I suspected it years ago, since iPod and iTunes revolution,
only high priests of Cow where jumping fast to quash all “negative” ideas about FCP or Apple(soft).This is just first step in dumbing down FCP, next one will be iMovie and FC X merging into one GREAT application.

I like the gray interface, myself, it’s quiet and non-distracting. I remember much uglier and burn-inducing NLE interfaces in the 90’s. I also remember and pine for my days on the Discreet Edit, which is what FCPX’s “look” reminds me of strongly. That charcoal theme became popular for a number of platforms in compositing for a while. I would not be surprised to learn the color schemes for the GUI are user-configurable, but that’s not a feature you lead off with, that’s something for way down the line.
-
Mark, then you should love iMovie too 🙂
same charcoal color interface…
and windows… and…I know, I know it’s not that bad 🙂
but wait for the next year release FC Xi -
[Dan Johnson] “When can we purchase it? I don’t see it up on Apple’s web site.”
You mean Final Cut Pro X, coming out in June?
