[Steve Connor]More helpful posts from the haters to a genuine question, seriously guys why are you bothering?
Perhaps you wouldn’t care much if he plunged full-steam ahead into FCPX and got himself into a quandary, but some of us here actually provide helpful advice when someone is considering such a move.
-
[Craig Seeman]Because they were focused on the engine and didn’t want to invest R&D in this. Bad move but apparently they did investigate and weren’t happy with the results.
Please stop spreading the myth about Apple’s perfectionism. It’s a myth, they aren’t really like that. I would be willing to bet that opening legacy FCP projects was never a part of the design and it was just a decision, not something that was considered at any given stage and then removed due to technical reasons.

It sounds good in theory, but I’d be willing to bet that it would get old really quick.
-
Frankly, I think this would backfire tremendously on you to go that route.
-
[Ewan Lim]I still wish I could do base edits on the go.
But you can: it’s called a laptop and whatever NLE you wish. Unless you are specifically talking about editing on your phone/tablet, to which I would say you’d do it for the “neat” factor a handful of times and then never touch it again.
It’s not conducive to even that kind of work.

If you need a new machine right now, I wouldn’t bother with one of the new Mac Pros. Try to find a good deal on a used one. Apple is either going to refresh the line soon or drop it entirely.
Anyone’s guess at this point what they will do.
-
FCPX cannot even use Blackmagic, so I’m not sure what your point is.

Craig, if you’re champing at the bit to do all of your editing by finger on the iPad, then I’m sure it will be coming soon and I’m sure the speed and ease of use of uploading all your footage to the cloud and waving your finger on the screen will leave us all behind in the editing world.
-
[Craig Seeman]…and IMHO, like it or not, the very nature of what a “professional” editor is, is changing/expanding/morphing.
No it isn’t. A professional editor is someone whose primary job is to edit. That’s not changing.

Are you using the AVCHD/Canon DSLR sequence settings when you create a new sequence? Should be in the list when you first create one.
