I admire your cojones for that one!

I gotta say, of all the questions you could have asked him you chose the one most important to the herd/hive…thank you for that.

Actually, I think that is exactly the kind of thing Apple is hoping happens. This software may not be intended for “Hollywood” or big production houses, but more like the kind of web-based projects your talking about.

Would your workflow have to change in response to this new software? Yes, absolutely…but I think it might even speed up the process.

I think “Final Cut Prosumer” is more like it.

Sorry, I wasn’t aiming that at you, Tim.

I don’t like calling anything “shoddy journalism” which was said by others. I don’t feel comfortable with that kind of thing, especially on a forum. I think that’s fair

Shoddy journalism?

I think it’s pretty lame to toss a jab his way on a different forum and not let him defend himself. I’m a writer and I know that if someone complains – even if that complaint isn’t founded in fact – I respond to them. Granted, I don’t write a column in the NY Times, but still…

How would you feel if he started critiquing your work?

I see what your saying, but share price is more directly related, in the long term, to the bottom line. There will be some knee-jerk reactions that might take the stock down temporarily, but it will recover.

Apple leveraged that “pro” perception people have about their product and made it for mass appeal. In your eyes it’s dumbed-down, but to a general consumer, they can actually edit a project without looking like iMovie and without it being intimidating.

I think they have spoken – Apple doesn’t care about the pro market. They are interested in creating a new one (see also: iphone/ipod/ipad)

[Simon Ubsdell] ” one of the biggest barometers for that is the court of public opinion especially as expressed through the financial papers and similar forums”

Right. Which is what I was saying. If this app is for mass appeal, then more people will download it.

Think of this – at 1/3 the price, if four times as many people can (and probably eventually will..) use it, then they just made a fantastic business decision…hence my line.

Doesn’t sit well with the pros on here, but I think that is the reality. This is Final Cut ProSumer.

I own three shares, and judging by how many more people will buy this who are NOT pros, I would think that stock would go up…either that, or everyone is complaining about a phone manufacturer’s video editing product.

I think you’ll have to wait out the storm. I’m excited to use it and share with the knowledge base here, but for the next week or so, we are all just going to have to sift through the “this ain’t a pro app” posts and wait.
