[Eric Jurgenson ] “I think Apple probably made a mistake showing product this early, and I’m guessing that a June release is far too optimistic. I’m thinking more like a year from now, unless they release a buggy mess.”
First of all they actually showed transitions on the demo.
Second, I think they just didn’t have enough time to show more and wanted to show the NEW stuff and the flashy stuff at that.
Apple was never known for missing release dates. It’s not RED we are talking about here.
Surely it will have bugs. ALL new software do and surely did FCP7. But to think Apple announced it too early is honestly a foolish thought. They probably have been working on this since FCP6, reason FCS 3 was so lack luster and cheaper and not even called FSC 3. They knew it was just a matter of time. I’m sure they were not early at all. They had it well planned.
