Most of these are old arguments but necessary to understand the full context of issues still alive. But I will stand by my argument that they broke a feature that at its heart, and the fundamental truth of an editor – an open timeline – is why many left and are happy they did.
[Craig Alan] “helps you learn professional practices,”
And yet…I think the whole initial release of X kinda contradicts this: There is something wrong with renaming these operations in the belief that it makes it easier to learn, which it dos not.

Randy Ubiculous said he wanted an editor his grandma could cut her vacation clips on…thats what I was referencing.
Given the imovie on roids appeal, it is easier to learn.

I’ll preface it in saying, for a lot of us. It’s all there in the pudding…the exodus to another solution.

[Charlie Austin] “It seems like these threads always devolve into veiled discussions of who is “more” professional.”
That is not what I said, veiled or otherwise. It’s not about who is professional. It has always been about what elevated a tool to a more professional level. The argument has always devolved into sand kicking when it was never a real argument in the first place. The tool IS broken. The timeline is fundamentally broken. Regardless of all the other white noise.

[Craig Alan] ”
There is nothing wrong with consumer level use of professional tools.”There is when the professionals tool is fundamentally broken in favour of a more easily digestible (sellable) – grandma milly and students can learn in an hour – gui.
Its why this forum exists…

[Tim Wilson] “It’s part of why I’ve also never bought the idea that Final Cut X was EVER intended for consumers, AT ALL.”
“import from imovie”
[Tim Wilson] “It’s ultimately a confirmation that Steve was right, that a low-cost video creation platform could be a money-maker for Apple”
Given the fact that final cut studio was already that amidst the more costly solutions, isn’t that like saying he was right about what they were already right about and that an even more affordable solution would be even, uh, rightier… 🙂
He was so right about telling the pros to stop whining and worrying about Fcx too…and that they would love it! buncha whiners

[Charlie Austin] “And I think they particularly want to work well with FCP X.”
Where is this particular demand coming from?
Just from my spectrum of things – 3 years and I have never been delivered a show (among many) or seen a workflow that involved Fcx. From series television, films, foundation spots, ads, epks, demo reels or even let alone know anyone that has.
Surprisingly, I’m still seeing FC7 regularly…but it is almost always: Avid.
Fcx is used to make blurays. So that’s progress of a kind.
Blackmagic and Apple Cersi and Jaime Lannister here?
What gives
-
Over-hyped over-priced headphones, they fit right in…
A violent rapper who beats up women…I don’t get the “brand” appeal there.

[David Mathis] ” Look forward to using both FCP and Resolve together.”
Home movies will never look better!
[David Mathis] “Resolve 11 is not a full featured editor at this point”
Nor should it be, but that certainly looks like the direction it’s headed. Instead of flushing out a solid conform timeline, since 8, BM have made the playhead a schizophrenic – mind of it’s own – hot mess and now forces us to slug and bring in pre-made blacks, slates and bars…and for fun changes a years worth of muscle memory on every release…
But, it’s free. Just like FCx should be…
