[David Roth Weiss] “You won’t have to worry at all or make any difficult decisions if you prepare for the transition to FCP X and OS X Lion with a multi-boot configuration like the one I describe in my new tutorial: Prepare for a seamless transition to FCP X and OS X Lion

“Does FCP X overwrite FCP 7 ?
Can they both run on the same machine?
Will FCP 7 projects open in FCP X?

My blood pressure.

Seriously.
I want to see how customizable it is and I am sure I’ll check to see if it works with r3d media natively. I am interested to see the export features and to test weather they have streamlined exporting.
I’ll also check to see where Quicktime went? LOL
IF FCP 7 files open in FCP XDavid

Maybe the Film burn effect in After effects.
or you could use a circle wipe to do it.
or you could possibly do this with a Color correction effect as well.

One way to do this is to put a white solid on the second layer of the video track.
1 Create White solid.
2. place the white solid on V 2 layer.
3. Add a dissolve to the white solid and adjust the duration.This is the fast and easy way to get to white.

I doubt it will be a quiet release like, FCP X now available on the app store. If that is the case then I think it will come with a lot of product videos on Apple website.
All the trainers will have their take, Maybe Apple will also do that thing where they pull in some allstars in the film business who have been using the product to give it street cred from the get go.
I called the solstice earlier this month. I’ll stick with that.

Matt,
To clarify.
Rip it apart should be replaced by, “doing our own testing” . Testing is everyting to me and it will be to any major facility before implementing new software products. People are going to want to see if there are gaping holes. What is working, what isn’t and how effectively the software can be put into real world situations. I will embrace the software for sure, but I also want to know the limitations and that means deliberatly tring to “break things”.
On the other quotes. I am not suggesting Apple wrote it for him, but on reading it we can see that Larry chose his words very carefully and that is most likely Larry’s respect for the process and the NDA he is under. I guess I am underlining the fact that at moments of a release like this, the relationship between Larry and Apple (or apple and key vendors and trainers) might be more vital than a “regular software update”.
Apple needs Larry because he will bring his expertise to the floor to initiate a widely needed explaination and training with the new version. Larry needs Apple becuase his business depands on this training.
So I am just commenting on how heightened their relationship might be at this time. There seems to be a lot of interest in the software and big and small players are wathcing everything closely.
Larry is excellent at what he does. Apple is excellent at what they do. The NDA ensures that we are hearing about only what Apple wants us to hear about right now.
Satire is satire.

[Walter Soyka] “It’s on Larry’s blog:
https://www.larryjordan.biz/goodies/blog.html
“I juat read that “statement” and it almost looks reads like it was written by apple. It definitely has that air too it, like it went back and forth a few times before it was posted.
I’d love to read what the real conversation was.
Read the next bit as satire:
“Um. Are you effing nuts, making a statement like that before we release a piece of software we have been promising for years?”
“sorry, what should I do?”
“We’ll have our lawyers draft something up.”
“Um, OK. Do I get to keep my copy of the software.”
“Yes, and we will let you know the moment you can release the training videos after we release the software.”The point is, everything we are hearing is exactly what apple wants us to hear. This is no big inside information. It’s a skillfully crafted portion of the release process.
It’s a way of giving the baby (FCP_X) the most legs and the fastest start it can get. Once we get our hands on it, people will rip it apart and see what the real problems are. AND we will also see how briliant this new release it.
AVID and ADOBE are watching this very closely and are doing alot to try to keep market share.

Do you really have to ranscode it?
Why not just make a copy and cut the 4444 native.
Is that not what SHOOT>EDIT means?
You can edit prores 4444 on a laptop with USB drives so I have to ask why you even need a transcode, just cut with a backup copy of the media, which might be where the corrupt media isse comes from.

Gustavo,
As a creative professional I have always welcomed throwing it all away and learning something new. In my editing career I have used, AVID, FCP, Media 100, Lightworks, Discreet EDIT, premiere pro, and just about any software that lets you put two images together on a timeline.
As a Director/DP ive used everyting from film to small, large, medium format, etc.
My point is that old reliable is great, in many situations, but true creatives are ready to embrace and learn somehting new. It exercises a part of teh brain and can open your mind in many different ways. Many pieces of saftware accomplish the same things with a different language.
Donn’t be afraid of a new piece of software and there is nothing stopping you from “freezing your system” and editing the way you like to right now.
I new an AVID editor who was still editing on two 14inch CRT’s and a very old version of offline only AVID software because it suited his needs and it was what he liked. The tool was there for editing purposes only and it served him well and he edited many hours of footage and created some great films.
No one is bending your arm into using FCP X and apple isn’t going to go on your machine and take away FCP 7. If you like it stay with it.
