Will FCPX be continued?

[Anders Haavie]

There will be a big update in January

I’m not sure where you’re listening but you must be seriously out of the loop of any of the professional forums including this one and maybe even Apple’s own forum.

The last bug fix update was only 6 weeks ago.
Apple announced a major upgrade coming this quarter, some say earlier rather than later.

To “hear” please follow any professional forum such as this. In fact if you simply scanned this forum or used the search you would found enough post about updates to keep you reading . . . until the next update. Consider joining a user’s group as well.

I think it will be around for a while.

X reminds me of the Iphone.

When the Iphone first came out it wasn’t the only smart phone on the market. I remember people who loved their blackberries cracking on the Iphone. Saying the Iphone couldn’t do this or that.

It didn’t matter though, the Iphone just swept other phones aside.

People just liked how the Iphone worked and they didn’t give a darn what somebody thought about their Blackberry. They wanted what they wanted.

Even with all the bad press X got, I know more people in my town who have bought X than any other new NLE.

It’s ahead on head count. (6 individuals and one post house)

The folks I talked to who bought it all say the same thing. They just like it. Even the one’s that didn’t at first have come around to it.

Yes, there are other smart phones out there besides the Iphone, but I’m almost surprised when I see someone pull one out.

I’m a member of a couple of user groups, and i’m reading sites like this more than once a day.

But in my world; six weeks are a “long time” to have between bug fixes.

You can’t be an NLE user because most have much longer times between bug fixes and major updates range from one year and longer.

What world is that? How often should they release bug fixes?

Well. Yes. I am a NLE user. And have been for some years. But this is the only time i have had a program that’s so buggy that it don’t work for me at all.

I also use Premiere Pro, so it’s not a big deal but i’m one (of the few?) that really love FCPX and would like it to work as expected.

[Stan Johanssen]

Probably the same world as you live in. But aparently in a small small corner with a lower threshold for failure and buggy software.

Bug fixes _should_ be out as soon as possible. Not as a “whole package”.

[Stan Johanssen] “Bug fixes _should_ be out as soon as possible. Not as a “whole package”.”

10.0.2 was a very minor update that included only bug fixes. That is exactly what you are asking for. It’s ready when it’s ready. Had they waited to incorporate those 10.0.2 fixes in a feature release, you’d have a point.

This is version 1.0 software, NO version 1.0 software is anywhere near stable and bug free, like it or not we are Beta testers. Updates may fix some problems but they will probably create new ones, exactly as it was with FCP classic.
