Here’s my worthless opinion…
iMovie 08– proof of concept, leading to…
FCP X (common concepts, new code and foundations – AV Foundation etc)
—FCPX Evolves… meanwhile… Rewrite iMovie based on FCP X Code while rewriting new version of FCP X
iMovie 10 – released with possible clues to new X features to drive everyone crazy. 😉
FCPX 10.? – not done? waiting on Mac Pro? discontinued? :-O
Leapfrog. 🙂

[James Ewart] “So you have not even downloaded the free trial then?
Just substitute the amount of time you have spent reading and writing posts here for playing with the software before asking the questions.
Surely one month of testing will be a valuable experience – I may be mistaken but I think FCP 7 users get an extra month.
No brainer?

[Tom Durham] “From my point of view, it was years of not paying attention… not updating Mac Pros in any serious way, not significantly updating Final Cut Studio for a long time… tantalizing us with Color and then dumping it…”
Yeah, I hear ya, totally understandable. I guess since FCP was working for me, even after it was dead, I never really got to that point. I think what they’re doing now is pretty cool, though it’s gonna be impossible to make everyone happy at this point. It’s good that there are choices now… keeps everyone on their toes. 🙂

[Tom Durham] “My big beef with Apple was that they took a big turn NOT listening for long while. “
I realize that many here don’t believe this, but they have been, and are listening. They created an entirely new NLE. They launched it… badly. And they’re continually implementing road mapped (probably), and user requested, features. Now maybe they should shout about it more, but as someone who has tried to reach out to the X folks in a constructive (and probably annoying) way I can assure you that they do listen. And for those who use X, sending feedback makes a difference as well.
Just because they’re not actively participating in forums like this, doesn’t mean they’re not lurking. Silently. Plotting to kill everyo… uh… never mind…

[James Ewart] “Thanks Ive been looking at light and trying to figure the difference.”
No trimming/handles, and the LE version doesn’t let you sort Role order in the AAF as finely… it’s on their website somewhere. Essentially, the LE version is really only good for in-house type situations…

Oh, man! I expected that X was all NWO! Now, here’s the proof!

[Richard Herd] “CTRL-S
It’s the best way to cut dialogue”
All due respect, clip soloing in FCP 7 is um… awful.
EDIT: Oh… you’re talking CNTRL-S in X. If so… yes. Though when cheating stuff you do need to disconnect…

Yep, also it does not exist in the light/LE version, only X2Pro uh… Pro. 😉

[Chris Harlan] “Yes, patching is the way to go, but I don’t think about it much because those are the tracks I keep patched–1,2–and I drag other dia on those tracks downward when I’m looking to overlap.”
But then you want to cut in just ch 3&4 from your source, and not video. So you unpatch video, unpatch 1&2, and patch 3&4 to say, tracks 7&8. Then, you need video and ch 1&2, so you repatch video, repatch 1&2, unpatch 3&4. Unless you forget, then you hit undo and start over. I’m cutting in 7 right now and doing just that. It sucks. IMO of course. 😉
Again, patching isn’t a problem at all. Until you get used to not need to even give it a microsecond of thought….
