[Jim Giberti] “Some of the comments have gone beyond opinions though and a number of things that I’ve read “couldn’t be done” “
I don’t think that is enough to excuse the elimination of a timeline which doesn’t bode well for OMF/XML/EDL i/o
Eliminating a lot of customizable features and say, this is how it is…accept it. Sorry, that’s not how editors work anymore…that is a complete step backwards.
Pulling FCS3 without warning…pulling the updater without warning, my god…
NONE of these are small and ALL of them get a pass because this is a 1.0 nor because a few people haven’t gotten deeper into the program and may be wrong on a couple of things so should be classified as unhinged, over-reacting or scared because of the “new”….

[Jim Giberti] “It’s a bit of a disappointment on some levels but a great innovation on others.
It’s not a reason for the level of outrage that some folks are taking it.”Actually, with what has occurred the last 2 days, the level of outrage seems to be parallel to Apple’s actions. And kudo’s to all those speaking up…

Don’t worry. In a week you might be the only one in here 😀

[Simon Ubsdell] ”
OK, so he misheard the point about OMF export, I don’t think that proves a thing.”It wasn’t the “only” point. As expressed further by 2 other posts here. Including the one you responded to. And it glaringly omitted basic realities…whatever though. His last paragraph was shameless and to the point alright…

[Bret Williams] “Wow. Really shows how little he knows about the subject at hand. Comments like “editors feel tvs offer better color fidelity” are ridiculous. They display video. Computer monitors do not display video.”
Apple has said it’s just an extension…
Ya, no marching orders from Apple. He just doesn’t understand the subject he was paid to write about…

It’s complete spin. You aren’t being cynical. HE is being cynical. Telling it like it is is reality, telling you reality is wrong and everything is going to be all right, now THAT is cynical…

I have to say, after sitting with what he said for 5mins, I can’t believe the temerity of this
Professional editors should (1) learn to tell what’s really missing from what’s just been moved around, (2) recognize that there’s no obligation to switch from the old program yet, (3) monitor the progress of FCP X and its ecosystem, and especially (4) be willing to consider that a radical new design may be unfamiliar, but may, in the long term, actually be better.
Honestly? Could a writer/review/response be more patronizing and ignorant….?

Oh no…have mercy on him. He just asked for it lol
Some of his points are “ok” but he really needs to just stop at – “I wrote my review from the perspective of an advanced amateur; I’m not a professional editor.”
Ya…we know.
I find it interesting that he starts with this: In 10 years of writing Times columns, I’ve never encountered anything quite like this.
And what does THAT tell you? No matter how you spin it…obviously it didn’t say much to him since we’re the ones supposedly not getting it and are wrong…

[Ted Levy] “Not sure about your YouTube branding analogy…..billions of people use YouTube, which obviously dwarfs FCP….”
Google has been subsidizing youtube since day one. They lose money on it, but it’s the brand they are after…but it’s a bad analogy, as it’s not accurate to say Apple makes slim margins on a 2m user base and 54% dominance in broadcast….
