Hang on a second. Just because I have a point of view and choose to express it, doesn’t mean that I happen to have any anxiety or stress around it. What would I have stress about? I can always continue using FCP 3 Suite. Please don’t confuse me with someone else on these boards.
I do use Apple Color EVERY day with a control surface and it is hard to see how this a step forward for serious grading. I will reserve judgement until I see it for real though. -
I don’t mean that it is Final Cut Express in a literal way, I mean it from the point of view of the expanded demographic that they are hoping to cater to.
Their intention seems to be to make it a one stop shop and sweep up what would be the profile of a Final Cut Express type buyer with it. It’s clear to me that round tripping from an application like Color is too complicated for that kind of user experience. What people want is an express way to have it all.
Finally, let’s be honest here, apple is not going to make a profit by having Pro buyers pay less, they are going to make more by having amateurs/semi-pro’s take a step up in quality and pay a little more. $199 hence becomes $299. That is the bottom line.
This is not to say that it won’t be more powerful in a lot of ways, that is the force of advancing technology, but this is an application designed to function as an express lane rather than an editing suite.

All of which confirms my point of view that for the moment this isn’t meant to replace FCP, but rather Final Cut Express.

Yeah, that’s funny because I just plugged a headphone set in earlier today, and the sound is a whole other universe than what’s coming from those speakers…

By deco, I was not referring to Art Deco, I was referring to deco, as in the team that puts together the set.

You will notice if you look at the show, that the highlights are almost always pulled down. There is almost never burnout of any kind. The image is not flat, it is punchy and with contrast as well as saturation, but it is lit to keep the highlights well with the dynamic range of most modern TV sets.
Other than that, deco, deco, deco.
