Not to beat the proverbial dead horse, we are in agreement here, but…

[Jeremy Garchow] “But if he had seen all the kids riding without helmets fall down and get hurt, did he not think that that he might be able to suffer the same consequences?”

From this statement I assume you don’t have kids, am I right?

[Jeremy Garchow] “High-end means meeting all the requirements to finish for complex workflows – no broadcast monitoring, no high-end.”

Which has been announced”

Which is why I said in my first post, not high-end as yet.

[Jeremy Garchow] “These drastic actions are not new, we just feel the results more deeply.”

Again, name another major app that was killed as suddenly and as totally; still expecting a new upgrade on Monday, EOL’d without sales or support on Tuesday. That was new. More than anything else, that is what changed my view on dealing with Apple. Even Discreet (a pox on them) sold and supported *edit for over a year after the EOL.

[Jeremy Garchow] ” I don’t get what you are saying here.”

It’s one thing to know about something, it’s another to experience it. It’s one thing to warn your kid to wear a safety helmet when he rides his bike, it’s another talking to him after he’s taken a bad fall and had a concussion.

In other posts you often refer to the experience of Shake users as an example of what “everyone knows” about Apple. The thing is you’d have to ask Shake user’s that question, and even then it’s not analogous because they kept selling and supporting Shake for years after they announced the EOL. Show me another application that was killed totally without warning, and then let’s go ask their users what they think of the parent company.

[Jeremy Garchow] ” i guess high-end is a moving target.”

High-end means meeting all the requirements to finish for complex workflows – no broadcast monitoring, no high-end.

[Jeremy Garchow] “So you are dismissing this then? No credit what so ever? Something that has changed for the better has no meaning?”

Better is good. More better is better. I have to make some major software/hardware decisions by NAB. The less Apple tells me about their future plans for both FCPX and the MacPro line, the more likely I go elsewhere.

[Jeremy Garchow] ” We all knew that, we just didn’t think it’d happen to us! “

But that’s what makes the difference.

[Jeremy Garchow] “So interchange aside (which is big), FCPX is not high end video edit capable?”

Not yet, maybe after the next upgrade.

[Jeremy Garchow] “And Apple has been fairly upfront about the features that are “coming soon”. More so than before this fiasco.”

Which is proof that things are different now. Apple is reacting to that difference, but for many people it’s not enough to say that they are more open than before. That’s like saying he’s more talkative than a dead guy – it might be true, but it still ain’t putting you on the debating team.

[Jeremy Garchow] “Minus history, it sounds like FCP alright. What’s changed? Apple never had any of these things, really, so why all the fuss now?”

What changed is the realization that Apple can and will pull the plug at any time. What changed is the belief that Apple is committed to high end video. What didn’t seem necessary before seems very important now.

After you get caught cheating on your wife, you often have to be a lot more specific about where your going late at night, or so I’ve been told.

[Bill Davis] “Unlike today, however, the neighborhood wasn’t over-populated with jerks who were more interested in gleefully pointing out how superior their world view is”

Point well taken, but as one of the jerks I will point out that

1 – I wasn’t responding to Giles and his problem, but rather to Devin’s sympathetic reply

and

2 – All you did was tell Giles how to avoid the problem next time, which is exactly what Jason did, although yours was in a less snarky tone,

because

3 – This wonderful software you so espouse, epitome of Apple’s software brilliance, has just royally screwed him and apparently there’s nothing to be done about it.

[Jeremy Garchow] “For them, it’s not a proverbial soy titty.”

By jove, I think you’ve coined a new phrase, and I’m proud to have been a part of it’s gestation.

Autosave files are so yesterday. FCPX is like a hockey puck, your supposed to skate to where it’s going to be, so maybe you can open up a file and wait for it to become the right one.

[Craig Seeman] “I’m going to go back to drinking my coconut milk now.”

There’s no breasts on a coconut either, so I guess it’s really coconut juice.

“There’s no such thing as soy milk. It’s soy juice. But they couldn’t sell soy juice, so they called it soy milk. Because anytime you say soy juice, you actually start to gag. And … we all know there’s no such thing as Soy milk ’cause there’s no soy titty, is there?”

And we all know there’s no such thing as Final Cut Pro 10, because there are no tracks, but if they called it Imovie Pro we would start to gag …
