Of course I am not 100% happy with this at all, but we have to deal with it or move to another company / platform.
I guess what I am saying is,that after years of waiting to get to 64 bit, I think we can give another 6-8 weeks . Apple makes mistakes, but it also works to correct them. I know for a fact that they review and respond to user feedback.
Remember, Apple made money from the hardware associated with FCP, ie: Mac Pros etc. As we stand today, Mac Pros do not sell in volume at all. It may be a viable business model for Avid, but it represents a very small percentage of Apple’s income.
The next couple / few months will tell. Based on what I have heard, Apple is working on it, but who knows for sure. One thing which is clear, film and tape really is finally on the way out, whether we like it or not.
