Craig to uphold your premonitions:
I’ve strange glitch in establishing imap connection. Mail 4 did it without problem.
Pages worked incorrectly with copy/paste function. MS Office works fine – surprise!
After updating Pages glitch seems to vanish.

That’s why we congregate at over here – to share thoughts and ideas. I’m not interested in turning you into anti-fcpx freak.

You like playing with hypotheticals – you served a ball I returned it. You totally missed the point.
Let me tell you my story.
Recently I did a project. It was shot in Kiev, Ukraine, assembled in FCP7 and transferred to Moscow, Russia, with all media. In Moscow I opened it in FCP 7, approved with client and sent as xml project over to Amsterdam, Netherlands for composing and final touch-ups.
You can wait weeks, or years, but FCPX will never be good for this kind of job. It’s not cut for it. This is just another app for iPad. If you think otherwise you’re kidding yourself.

Leo,
I can see your point. Let’s extrapolate your notion.
How would you feel if you upgraded your Canon Mark II 5D firmware only to discover to your full surprise that now you can’t shoot in raw, only in jpegs (because Canon decided that raw is old fashioned and for uploading your pictures to gallery jpegs suffice). What if you can’t communicate remotely w/ you camera because Canon decided that new magnetic touch screen suffice? What if you can’t use flash light because Canon decided that you should take pictures only in daylight? Silly?

Are you still gonna think your USD 2500 body is a pro camera?

Can you imagine how much people invested into building pipelines round Apple soft/hardware solutions? This investment is reduced to rubbish thanks to new brilliant paradigms of Apple. Certainly you can think of yourself as true pioneers ushering new era of editing. For me and others Apple’s flushing my investments, time and efforts into toilet.

The irony is that for years I’d been scolding Avid for being too old fashioned. Nowadays I’m switching to it because it’s classic and old fashion – they still utilize edls, oles, and all that stuff Apple decided to get rid of.

Please don’t tell me to wait a couple of years till fcpx is mature enough to offer me something. It’s not gonna happen.

You sound as if disappointed. They had had two leopards to learn. Furthermore, Lion was available for beta testing for half a year. So far I can say Davinci Resolve 8.0.2 and Avid Media Composer 5.5 are not compatible w/ 10.7. The same story with Nuke.

It’s working good. Minor issues. Nothing to be scared of. My both printers HP and Epson work well. MS Office 2011 work well. Adobe CS5.5 work well. FCS3 work well. iDisk works well.

It just crossed my mind. Why none of us ever used such fantastic invention as iChat Theater Preview? Sorry if I seem to hijack the thread but I think Apple designed it specifically for this kind of situations – when your client is so..eh…dumb. You just hit the button and video is there. What do you think about it?

Dave,
this is wittiest remark I’ve read so far in this regard.
Though I don’t think they need speedometer ever since they got 1-speed automatic transmission, aka magnetic time line.

Don’t forget: This is why we get paid. If they knew that they could edit it themselves in QT, perhaps, they wouldn’t call us. I usually sent files over in email or upload on ftp server.
