Thank you, it’s nice to be appreciated.

“And the necessity for that is itself a sign of what this forum descended into.”
Or risen to. This forum contains the most intelligent, thought provoking analysis on the nature of editing that I have found anywhere. The price of that is a little friction. There are no free rides.

“The software and Apple itself should not be considered sacred, it’s human beings (i.e. our fellow Cow members) who should be sacred here.”
Actually, I think it’s only Cows that should be treated as sacred.

I believe it is Ron’s business to worry about the success of this forum. His track record is pretty good, I figure he knows what he’s doing. If he thought the combativeness on this forum was bad for the Cow, believe me, it would have ended.

“I know of no other COW forum where so many faces on top either don’t use, don’t like, aren’t interested in helping users of the software except to the extent they can discourage people.”
I wonder why that is?

Cut it on Premiere Pro. Handles H.264 natively, has Multi-Cam, easier for FCP7 user to learn than FCPX, cheaper than buying new raid storage.

“Apple, on the other hand, is likely to continue R&D on FCPX even if the resultant NLE is not to the liking of some. They are motivated to use it to sell their boxes.”
You mean laptops and Ipads don’t you? The single screen FCPX is the official announcement of the end of the Apple workstation.

Craig –
I love following the labyrinthine trails of your logic. First you start a post quoting a headline reading “HP to spin off PC business”, now you are ready to argue with your own headline and speculate that HP is going to dump it, whereas the actual article merely says that HP is “investigating” spinning off the PC business. So the lynch pin of your whole argument is indeed wildly speculative – only it’s you speculating and then arguing against yourself.
FCPX is not EOLd and if one can have hope for HP PCs one can have hope for FCPX. It’s speculative.
I don’t have to “hope” for HP PCs, they already exist. FCPX is not dead, it’s merely stillborn. It would have to live before it could die. You are on record as hoping it will become useful. I am on record as saying that I have no fear about the demise of the entire PC world. Time will tell, but I’m willing to wager.

“Second, HP is actually being upfront with the public and with their customers about their intentions for the platform.”
And third, they are spinning off the product, not EOL’ing it. Imagine the difference in this forum if Apple had announced that they were selling the FCP code to Blackmagic – but why bother when they could reap the buzz of sacrificing their user base on the alter of Cool.

“Given how similar NLEs are (FCPX withstanding obviously) the learning curve is not that severe.”
Of course I’m talking about the learning curve of FCPx – or am I in the wrong forum?
As a matter of fact I can’t really figure out where you’re going with this – you started this thread as a warning to FCP deserters about the dangers of straying into the disappearing world of PCs. Of course an easy option would be to stay with Mac Pros when migrating to Avid or PPro, but I still think your argument is baseless when considering the next step.
