We’re going to have to save up our hard earned $AUD for this Mate. The Aussie pricing will make you faint.

This thread should be of help.

What really grinds my gears is that this is like, what, the third or fourth iteration of the OS since the introduction of AV Foundation and the official Quicktime application still does not have any Pro features. I find this inexcusable this far down the road. How long do we expect QT 7 to work. Oh, and no native MP4 playback necessitating third party apps like Editready, a great app but shouldn’t be necessary in this day and age. The new modern AV Foundation should be able to handle this. *sigh*

[Andrew Kimery] “He also created Premiere and FCP (well, technically KeyGrip which became FCP). Randy was making a logging app to go along with FCP (kinda like Prelude goes with Premiere) and when he showed it to Jobs Jobs said that’s what he wanted the next FCP to be like and X was born. The vision, like most everything at Apple, was Jobs’.”
I don’t think Jobs gave a monkeys about FCP beyond the “One of our engineers was on vacation, found it difficult to do some things, so he created this” speech. Lets not kid ourselves here. Jobs wasn’t building features into FCP. He stage-managed it. Pro Apps was Randy’s show.

Seeing as Apple have been happy letting the general public beta test iOS and OSX as of late, do you think some of that new happy openness could spread to Pro Apps?

[Charlie Austin] “Now, I’m sure saying that will get lot’s of “X is technically flawed!” BS responses. IMO, it’s “technically new”, at lest in terms of how it sees/handles clips and media in the app. I think we’ll see lots of stuff return, regardless of who “the architect” is…”
Yah, it’s still growing..and following the M.O. of “tear it down and build it back up again” that we’ve seen in the last 5 years, “Photos” being the most recent example. Not that that is a *bad* thing. I don’t believe it is. Just now , with the decks cleared, there can be some “new thinking” infused into X and the engineers can get their fingers in those really interesting and useful problems and solutions we’ve all been holding out for.

[Charlie Austin] “Maybe he’ll show up at BMD. 🙂 The Cow would take down the entire internet if that happened. lol”
Resolve and FCPX sitting in a tree…
BMD have practically lifted its GUI directly from FCPX. I thought that kind of thing would be patented, but as Apple lost to MS over “look and feel”..*shrug*

[Charlie Austin] “Why on earth would you assume that he had anything at all to do with that. And also, why do you assume that that stuff won’t appear. “
Oh, I do hope that that stuff will appear. He created the App. That’s the point. It and iMovie are his creation. It’s his vision. Hence he’s been the gatekeeper of its functionality. But also maybe the source of a blinkered “Father knows best” approach too..

Perhaps with his departure, a certain dogmatism in the shape, vision and roadmap of FCPX will depart as well…Perhaps we will at last see Replace Edit, Gang Sync , Roles based Audio organisation, a revised key framing system…basically truly essential and useful Editorial functions. Don’t get me wrong, I love FCPX , but there are some essential functions like the ones listed and suggested on Richard Taylor’s page that this app needs to have. With Randy out of the picture, I’m hoping that the chances that such functionality materialises increase and actually become real.

YES !
That is all.
