[Devin Crane] “At one point, Jobs asked his team what “Final Cut Pro X” was supposed to do. Upon receiving an answer he quickly fired back, “So why the f*** doesn’t it do that?” Jobs even invoked the name of trusty ally “Walter Biscardi” – who was critical of “Final Cut Pro X” – to drive home the point that the “Final Cut Pro X” rollout was a flop.”
Where is this info coming from?

[MIke Guidotti] “There are a lot of folks on here defending Apple.”
Who’s defending Apple? About 99% of the posts here are negative on this one.
Rightfully so, I might add.

[Chris Kenny] ”
As with Final Cut 7, there is at present no particularly sensible way to automate exporting a bunch of clips in the timeline as separate media files.”Bummer.

What about using FCPX as the File importer? Especially from DSLR or other media, often times it needs the most work color matching, then you could output color corrected ProRes for editing in FCP7.Color matching is then part of the data management and file conversion step.
this works for smaller shoots or projects”Actually that makes a heck of lot of sense. I would then follow it up into traditional Color with my control surface for serious grading/tweaking.
This for me would be the only practical reason for purchase at this point, but a very practical reason nonetheless.
It is true that I much prefer the 5DtoRGB conversion to Prores 422 because it was of the only apps which does not use a quicktime engine for conversion. I find far less stepping and a little more dynamic range with it. But I could live with this idea.

Ok, so it’s classical.
The only thing that would be a real pain is to do the reference shots in traditional FCP/Color workflow and export them as self contained 422’s to be used in the FCPX app, and then re-export everything back out once again self contained.
Obviously, this is only convenient with complex grades or where this is a ton of matching shots which need to be graded.
We will see on my next big project.

Thanks Hector.
I greatly appreciate your taking the time to spell it out more specificallly.
If anyone has other specific detail please speak up.
Probably there are a few new or useful tools, but going to be difficult if there is no way to integrate with other pro apps.

“I would seriously assume that iMovie will be rebranded FCP Express.”
Actually, THIS is Final Cut Express.
The pro version comes later. Supposedly.

Hence the Larry Jordan quote stating that it was not yet ready for professional use.

No FCP7 import. No XML/OMF export. No multicam.
However, these things are apparently coming.

[David Roth Weiss] “Clayton,
From my perch at the top of this forum I see everything that comes across this board, and I can easily spot “Chicken Little syndrome,” i.e. a completely speculative, constant, and very negative series of posts, which I believe is caused by the pent-up, pre-release frustration and anxiety brought about by Apple’s blackout on reliable information.
You are the just latest, and you’re entirely welcome to say whatever you wish, and to post any point of view you desire, but don’t expect that an “open mic” means no heckling from the audience.
Many before you have vented their frustration and then become quite calm after myself and others give them shit. It seems to be good therapy and I hope it works for you as well. :)”
David,
You clearly have mistaken me for someone else.
As a moderator for the last couple of years over at another well known site in the image-making industry I am quite capable of making the distinction between a troll and a participating member’s viewpoint.
At no point have I said that the sky was falling. Nor am I chicken little. Even if you assumed that I would naturally go in that direction.
I do not feel any particular anxiety, stress or “pent-up frustration” around this whole story. I am merely a contributing member of this forum, like so many others here. I do not “give other people shit”, try to consider their viewpoint in a non-judgemental way and ask for the same respect in return.
