[george manzanilla] ” hate not being able to organize my media how I WANT IT.”
From Larry Jordan’s blog today….before the traffic crashed his server.
“Plus, if you are someone that likes to organize their files, FCP X supports that. If you HATE organization, FCP X will organize your files for you. Now, we have a choice.”

[David Roth Weiss] “What you’ve written above Walter is the issue. All of the bullshit about the features would be inconsequential if Apple mapped out their game plan. But they haven’t done that and have given no indication they see a any need to do so. Apple is completely out of touch.”
I’d be very surprised if they responded to all of the complaints at all.

[Walter Soyka] “The big problem is this: they’ve broken trust with the users making their livings with this software. As Chris Walsh said in another thread here [link], Apple has “burned through some of trust and goodwill it had built over FC 1-7, for no apparent reason.”
Apple needs to do something to reassure users that their investment in the FCP platform is still relevant — or they need to make it clear that there are certain groups of of FCP users that are no longer being targete”
Yeah, It worries me that FCS 3 is no longer available at all.

Yes, thank you for actually providing information rather than just bitching about what it isn’t or what it’s missing and then telling us that you’re moving to avid/adobe.

Looks like I’ll be downloading a free copy of Aperture later tonight.

Prepare for a seamless transition to FCP X and OS X Lion
https://library.creativecow.net/weiss_roth_david/FCP-10-MAC-Lion/1Just because you can install FCP X side by side with FCS 3 doesn’t mean you should.”
HAHAHA. Yes. I was just about to post this for you.

It’s sort of burried…but Gerry Found it. I have a copy of the PDF on my desktop and am now starting to read.

[Gerry Fraiberg] “The long and winding road will eventually lead to the FCP X Help page. Too bad it isn’t more readily available.
Click on the link: For more information, visit https://www.apple.com/finalcutpro.
On the FCP page, click on Tech Specs.
On the Tech Specs page, click on Explore third-party plug-ins, tutorials and other useful resources for Final Cut Pro X. View Resources >
On the Resources page, scroll down to Support > Final Cut Pro Support Page. Click on the link.
On the Final Cut Pro X Support Page, scroll down to Get Started > User Manuals.
Or, follow this link: https://support.apple.com/kb/HT4681
When you click on a manual, you get online help. It would be nice if there is a downloadable PDF. The workaround I used: In the upper right hand corner, click on the printer icon and select: Book – Final Cut Pro Help. Instead of my printer, I selected Bull Zip printer, which is a utility to print to PDF. I now have a PDF file which I will sync to my iPad.”

I can see your point… to a degree, but I think I could easily get a couple more years out of FCP 7. I ran FCP 5 on Tiger for well over 3 years and only upgraded because I wanted, not needed, some features. I’m no Hollywood post house, though… perhaps I’m just less demanding than everyone else.”I totally agree with you…but only up to a point. While FCP 7 will work for years to come, it’ll only work in certain capacities. Sooner or later your clients will start shooting more and more on tapeless workflows, and If they are shooting AVCHD or h.264, you’re going to get tired of the hassle of transcoding to ProRes. So yes It will work for years to come until your workflow has to shift due to your client’s needs.

[Tom Daigon] “And you’re here to represent the Fanboy Police ? ;-)”
No, but apparently you’re the designated adobe/avid fanboy.
I understand you don’t like FCPX and apparently don’t think it’s going to be “Pro Ready” anytime soon, I would just think as a forum leader you’d be more inclined to create discussions and keep order on the boards rather than run around convincing people to jump ship.

[Tom Daigon] “Wow, how cool.New software I cant use (to make a living). I think Apple has a lot in common with the “snake oil” saleman of the past ;-)”
Why are you even in the FCP X forum today. All you’ve been doing is trying to stir the pot and tell people to go to Adobe and Avid.
