what? listen here you – that is a rational position to take given apple’s behaviour up to this point. FUD my ass.
I’ll tell you what Chris, there is a tremendous amount of uncertainty and doubt surrounding this software and do you know who has generated it?APPLE.

[Chris Kenny] “What’s supposed to be the problem here?”
BZZZ – buzzer says wrong Kenny – you’re deliberately referring to skimming on the timeline – the man’s points refer to being able to see the bloody footage at all before he puts it in the timeline. I’ll let Frank Leeman take over and clear up your confusion –
“..the skimming method is not precise enough. With a tiny flick of the wrist you skip over 4 minutes of material. Of course you can re-adjust the viewer so it shows you a bigger skimmable area but even then it’s hard not to skip over material as the time indicator is so easily moved.”
See? interesting isn’t it? the skimmer looks sexy, but fascinatingly it turns out to be tricked out bullshit as a tool.
Famous quote from Jimmy Carter:
“Randy Ubillos, you pompous, pompous ass, FCP7 wasn’t a multitrack editor, editing is a multitrack operation, editing software is intended to be an expression of that truth.”http://www.ogallchoir.net

[Paul Burgess] “The anger out there in the market place is because they are sending out two contradictory messages. They claim they support the pro market whilst their actions have just cut off all support for that very market – that is the root of the anger.
“that’s it really, isn’t it?

Yes well, I think we are both pretty clear on each other’s positions at this point Chris – I say let us agree to disagree.

you would hack off your own arm defending this software and Apple Chris – we get it – and it’s not that I hate any software per se – software never did anything to anybody, what I am is very angry with Apple for what they have done to the editing application, and by extension, the professionals who rely on that application to pay bills and feed mouths.

[olof ekbergh] ”
FCPX is the fastest and easiest to use version so far…. The sound and CC is the best I have seen in a single program so far…. I have both AJA Kona and Matrox MX02 interfaces in my suites… I am sure in the next year we will have these working perfectly in FCPX… So I think Apple is on the right track here…
Yes FCPX does take some getting used to, but I think basically it is very efficient. To me simple is better… I also like the new CC, yes it is very different from Color, but I can do about everything I did in Color in FCPX…Lets not be afraid of change. Embrace it and move on. And I like advances in editing interfaces as well. The $300.00 price tag is so revolutionary that I could not wait to see how FCPX works, and I am impressed.
My latest 2 cents.
“Kind of boiled down the comments there, and well sure if it’s working for you, well fair play to you – do you really think tho, that you can do everything with that colour corrector that you could do in Color?

Oh god knows I have plenty of hyperbole in me, I really do. But I will be throwing verbal bricks at Cupertino windows until my arm drops off, for the sheer bollocks that is this software.
Four features my arse Chris. The software is not fit for purpose. And they bloody well knew it when they made it. That is why I think they couldnt give a shite about professional editing, there is degree of logic to the conclusion if you think about it.

baby yes, I just can’t, you know – I can’t quite believe that this is our little own software cliff?
that we’re all standing here?
(and so.. he continues his ever-living rant)
that we all get handed the apple sod off cards? And then we get to stare at the PPro, avid welcome gift packs, when we had all sweated blood to push the victory of FCP. FCP was supposed to be the democratic answer, the embodiment of the craft. But sure of course apple couldn’t give two shites about us, our craft, or the basic tenets of editing itself.
You know? I can’t believe that for all apple’s dangerous bollocks in the past, this is where we would all get to – we are the last quirk to be told to sod off – we are the last of the professional creative community to depend on that creature apple, that weird little lately large shark, to pray that they give the vaguest shite about the financial smudge on their left last heel – some tens of thousands of editors of various skills competing and attempting to express editing as a craft individually every single day – but we really do not make enough coin for them at apple; those quiet, deadly, shitty, money men in cupertino.
here’s to the crazy ones.

“The magnetic timeline is a UI disaster and completely undermines the very foundation of the editing process.”
and well… that’s it OK? Yes?
That is just rather it. That is what has happened.That is the phrase and truth of the situation. That statement is fundamentally true.
And most importantly – apple did this for reasons which have nothing to do with supporting the craft and continuance of professional editing.
They really really did not.
here’s to the crazy ones.
