Why The Pro Market Should Take FCP X Seriously – HD Magazine article
From Final Cut Pro Insider:
Final Cut Pro trainer Rory Cantwell reviews the many improvements in Apple’s Final Cut Pro X v.10.0.6. He writes, “Now in FCPX 10.0.6 I am glad to report almost all of [the] problems have now been addressed and sorted and the list of next generation professional functionality being added to the app each release, is making this editing solution one that should no longer be ignored by the professional market.”

its worth noting that soho training are making a metric tonne training FCP editors in Avid and PPro.
I know its an old harp – but there is not a UK job posted in 12 months for the software. you might begin to be curious about its chances.
this isn’t 1999. no one is offering 100K seats. there are swathes of editing seats everywhere at negligible cost.
Apple’s core appstore 299 just is not that significant. particularly given Oliver Peter’s true cost math.
the fact that no one in the UK is touching FCPX with a barge pole, given apple’s rapid development is significant.
I think it goes to a deeper issue regarding perception of apple as valid professional partner in the mid-term.

craig – please.
the first is “multimedia designer” in – leeds.
it lists PPro before FCPX for gods sake.
the second is very dodgy.
“though candidates without formal qualifications will be considered if their industry experience and portfolio is suitable
In depth working knowledge of FINAL CUT PRO X, APPLE MOTION, APPLE COMPRESSOR and the latest ADOBE CREATIVE SUITE (PHOTOSHOP, ILLUSTRATOR, INDESIGN”to re-iterate, yet again: no reputable jobs of any description where the word editor is in the job title exist over the last 12 months for FCPX.
good archive haul tho.

I have been telling editors (when they ask) for the past few months that X can be used if they wish to do grade, online & sound post with me. The caveat is they also buy the third party software that gets usable AAF sound out.
I see no reason to buy as not one single job from X has come to me whilst 30 odd broadcast docos and half a dozen short dramas have since X was released. 90% were FCP7 and a few AVID or Pr6 jobs.
My initial concerns about collaborative workflow are largely gone but still the editors I know are almost universally staying away. So like the market Aindreas works in it has almost zero traction in my area.

Also still not using it. Not seeing much of anything of FCX here in LA. One shop I know using it uses it for their YouTube channel. Even LEVERAGE has switched away from it.
yes…yes they have.

[Michael Gissing] “My initial concerns about collaborative workflow are largely gone but still the editors I know are almost universally staying away.”
The damage was already done. Switching to FCX also means learning a whole new app….one that is completely different. Why not go back to Avid where you have a huge pool of editors that already know it? Or to Premiere which is so similar to FCP 7 that it is called FCP 8 by many?
Apple’s rep is seriously damaged. Sure, a lot of new editors and professionals in many arenas will use this. Just not in my neck of the woods. I still haven’t seen it anywhere in the wild…only at Apple stores and melrose Mac.
