Great to see the oscilloscope and tube power supplies in the background of this video, brings back memories of graduate school in the 60’s.

I’m not going anywhere, but I did enjoy Dylan’s version. I thought I had heard all of his songs, but no.

I am no expert on AVID, but this story reminds me of disruptive technologies and the disappearance of Kodak and Xerox. These were great companies, but are now shells of their former selves. Of course Kodak can still supply film stock for the biggest Hollywood films, but what else? With feature films being edited in PP and at least two on X, (just rewatched Whiskey, Foxtrot, Tango last night and it looked great), it seems that AVID is in a tough place.
My limited experience with AVID products was getting a subscription to Pro Tools for a student class. The website was a mess, the requirement to separately purchase an iLok, registration of both Pro Tools, the iLok, cross connecting them etc, took me some hours of frustration. Talk about barriers to new customers.
But as long as thirty year old editors haven’t switched from FCP7, there is hope for a long decay time constant.

I was also interested in the sound editing comments. I am currently learning Pro Tools because that is how sound editing is being taught, but maybe in the end I can get it done in X. Does the audio engine in X have advantages over Premiere Pro?
-
Stick with X. FCP still means 7 and this may never die until all those editors who used 7 die.
-
What amazes me is that one of your group is a pro still using FCP7. Wow.

Charlie, your posts always cheer me up as an X editor in a sea of PP advocates. But we can only declare it a cat video, when it hits a million views on Youtube.

What we will never know is whether with a better launch strategy, FCPX would have captured the majority of the FCP7 crowd. The reality is the transition from 7 to X even today, is more difficult the from 7 to PPro. I think the existing market just went the way that required less learning and less of a change in philosophy. I hear this attitude today at the local film school. OK, I had the time and took the challenge and enjoy FCPX a lot. But finding local editors using X is rare, so I am learning how to edit in x and still collaborate with PPro. I am now learning Pro Tools, that is a trip in itself. Seems to be both powerful and archaic.
My favorite response to FCPX launch was Hitler’s response. https://youtu.be/ZVV9wEQZmGE

I would select it in photo, go to File>Export
choose Export 1 Video Unmodified–and choose where to put the export on your disk.
Then in FCPX import media. -
And changing its name to iMovie Pro.
