[Chris Kenny] “The chief argument against FCP X these days seems to be that people don’t trust Apple because… why? Because Apple didn’t hold the entire app off of the market until these features were done, despite the fact that the app was useful to much of FCP’s existing user base”
In delicate terms, that is the opposite of being true. They don’t trust Apple for a variety of reasons, the least of which is their completely disingenuous performance at NAB, rolling out a product they NEVER said was meant for imovie and facebook support with “upmarketing” to “come”. The reason you don’t get it, is, basically during their rollout, you had almost near contempt for people that were rightly justified at being PO’d at the EOLing a product they based their workflows, jobs and built their houses around…with NO warning…
You know this, yet you don’t get why… “They” don’t trust Apple, yet you don’t get why…it’s because you think the end of history coincided with their last update…said with all due respect.

it really is a worthless argument…so why are we posting stories that run contrary to it…? To affirm Apple isn’t “all” douchie…? That wasn’t his thesis. He experienced a pretty strong indication they are capable of being pretty rotten, spending against their own interests when they have nothing to gain nor lose, in his particular problem, which made this more about the culture at Apple, not their overall customer service…

[Phil Hoppes] “In one case they replaced a mother board when they really did not need to (it had just gone out of warranty)”
Hmm…
I have had numerous problems with my first macbook pro. I had to fight to get a logic board replaced which had a replacement program…only to discover they replaced it with the very same defective logic board and it failing later only to be rejected for another repair. I had verifiable and noticeable squealing the “genius” bar guys and service folks refused to accept hearing…even though the nearest customer could…
Apple is run like a cult…and you may get the odd black sheep willing to help, but it’s rare

[Aindreas Gallagher] “There’s a ring to that -“
That is NOT how they pitched it…at all. Not in the same cosmos…
Their entire PR campaign coming out of NAB last year was – “Final Cut Pro X stays in the picture for pros“…ahuh
Sorry Chris, either way you slice the apple, “upmarketing” was not part of that campaign.

…and it comes with Resolve and Ultrascopes.
very interesting.

How can they not…
A term I have not heard since June is “we’re going to cut this show on Final Cut”
You have 3 choices, go down with the titanic, go down with the Hindenburg or paddle over to something better and no, it’s not FCx, the thing is a stone, with chrome shark teeth
I’ll fill in for Aindreas, and its been a while so I need to get my digs in; I’m not sure who is actually enjoying this junk, but so far the only people with anything positive to say can be found here…or at Apple.
Just added 6 new edit suites, on Macs, go Pro!…all with shiny new avids…uhoh!
We be such luddites ignoring this “revolution”…

I found the last 2 questions puzzling.
Is Apple a great company or the greatest?
And
Do you accept Jobs as your lord and personal savior?Too soon?
Regarding the date, maybe a major update is forthcoming? Tea leaves!

I’d love to see an Audition window option for a pad. Integrate it in a scroll down in view mode, >Extend to tablet. Instead of a whole new application…
That would be awesomeauce! © Jamie Franklin

That’s why I agreed that an “App” designed for “controller” purposes is just fine, and I completely welcome that. I almost grabbed a pad for the Color virtual controller but couldn’t justify the cost on something DOA. A tablet just isn’t something I “need” at the moment…
If Davinci gets one, I’ll start re-evaluating that. Even still: In terms of the NLE experience, it’s just not practical now, nor in the future unless tablets are significantly larger, but I would still much rather have a laptop/tablet touchscreen combo…but even that is a serious indulgence.
Simple interfacing like garage band are perfect. I won’t disagree. Audio is a whole other animal that in my opinion screams out “touch” screen *now*…there are some amazingly creative and intuitive apps coming or arrived. Bjorks new album, custom interface, mix her music thing is incredible and I want a pad just to go play with it…but I’d never put it down. And that’s how they getcha
