NICK- THIS DESCRIBES MY ISSUE EXACTLY. I READ THE SUPPORT DOC AND TRASHED THE LAYOUTS FOLDER. X LAUNCHED WITHOUT ISSUE ON THE FIRST TRY.
THANKS FOR THE TIMELY ADVICE- I’M BACK ONLINE AND PRIMED TO MEET MY MOST RECENT DEADLINE

The launch speed and significant performance increase alone makes this a valuable update. Running it on a circa 2009 MBP 2.66 Core 2 Duo 8 GB RAM and VERY happy.

[Craig Seeman] “So on tomorrow’s show I can find out about the release that isn’t released that you will live stream yesterday.
“Great point and I also think its time to let go of the “Apple only makes announcements on Tuesday” concept and accept that Thursday is the release date…Yesterday’s gone ;-

Does this me too thread offer any information of merit? Apples PR release has been posted in at least two other threads.

I believe that personal attacks such as these Aindreas are in violation of the spirit and intent of these forums. It displays a lack of class and integrity while adding nothing of merit to the debate.

Thanks for the suggestions Mark & Justin. I’ll give them both a try

[Shawn Miller] “Sooo… is the concern that too many former FCP users are curious or excited to try the CS6 release, or are you disappointed that there isn’t enough debate on the Premiere Pro and Smoke forums? “
This is such a passionate, evocative forum that stimulates thinking about a myriad of pertinent topics on so many levels. Marketing strategy of the hardware/software providers, editing techniques and philosophies, technical issues that delve deep into the inner workings of the “man behind the curtain”, adversarial relationships are only a few of the themes that have led to high energy, enlightening and entertaining, exchanges.
Whether they are right, wrong or misunderstood, no company gets the juices flowing like Apple. They are innovators and instigators.
My technical knowledge of hardware is pretty shallow compared to most of the contributors. CUDA tell you much about Open GL acceleration, the Optix or Mercury engines or whether Thunderbolt is a true “super hero” solution? No.
But I gain so much benefit, useful information and ideas from the willing or should I say driven, participation of the thought leaders of our community to go head to head in heated debate.
I was merely lamenting the day when the Smoke clears and there is less Avid discussion about Apple’s core values. It just won’t be a Premiere day in my professional life…;)

Apple is so innovative and unpredictable. Countless times they have introduced amazing designs that have jolted, redefined and transformed the industry. New categories have been their mainstay since inception. The Mac Pro has been around for eons by most computer design standards- certainly Apple’s.
With the explosion in app development and content creation how could they turn their back and have developers use PC’s to codify and create Apple apps? Their biggest tech and marketing event has transitioned into the developer’s conference.
Something on the lines of an iMac Pro- an all-in-one configuration or hybrid of the iMac and Mac Pro could be possible…Once again I believe they will raise the Genius Bar.

“Not be able to send a clip or a portion of a clip from the timeline of Final Cut Pro to Motion X 5, without need to export, is police court.”
Just a priceless bit of translation!
