LOL…Boy did this guy turn out to be totally wrong about FCP!

LOL, Hey, why are you bashing my timeless, trite and over-quoted phrase? It’s a powerhouse when people cling tooth and nail to only the things they know.

Bill, I may have been a bit disrespectful in referring to us as Fuddy-Duddies; however, at the advent of the digital watch, the skills of a craftsman watch-builder were no longer necessary to achieve the same goal….a paradigm shift occurred……Apple is King at technological paradigm shifts. Its sounds like we are doing the same thing. We are using the tools that benefit our skills while keeping a watchful eye on Apples new paradigm……but I do disagree with you in that they should honor the current skills of the trade in the midst of trying to move forward and if they don’t they are arrogant skonks. People felt the same way about Apple for not allowing Flash on their mobile devices, we know how that turned out.

LOL, Hey, I’m right there with you, it may seem laughable, I have tremendous respect for people on this forum; however, I’ve witnessed Apple do this too many times. FCPX is attempting to make the process of editing more story-based than technical. Of course, this gives it the feel of iMovie Pro as some people say, but good grief, please play with the new multicam editor and you will see what I mean in terms of Apple’s progress. I know there is quite a bit lacking compared to FCP 7 and P CS5 currently; but really? Can you not see what Apple is doing here?

I’ve been reading the posts and you guys just don’t get it.
“Listen to your users…and you’ll see the folks in broadcast and film back on board”
This is the LAST thing Apple should do. Think of Henry Ford, The users wanted a faster Horse. Its perfectly clear what Apple is doing with FCPX; they are targeting the next generation of editors, not the current generation. In a few years, FCPX will be fully matured and the defacto standard that Adobe and AVID will try to copy, yet, as usual, they will be well behind. This is the way Apple has always worked since the beginning. This current generation of editors will be the fuddy-duddys that talk about the good-ole days of editing. With the recent update of FCPX, the multicam approach blows everything else out of the water. It’s exciting. Don’t worry about FCPX, its for the new kids…..and trust me, they will do more amazing things than we ever did in a quarter the time. Reality hurts.
