As if right on cue I just got a Promedia Academy email entitled “FINAL CUT PRO X IS A HIT !!!
I am not sh#$#ing you .. Just got it..How bizarre is that.
It goes on to write “Great Reviews from the Professional Community”AND MORE
“Thanks to Apple’s responsiveness and both performance and ease-of-use features, the wind has changed and Final Cut Pro X finally gets the acceptance and the positive feedback it deserves. ”
PLUS
they provide a link to a review from PC Mag
Here’s the link

As Rango would say… (paraPhrase) ” he’s good… perhaps too good” excellent really.
No… it is quite impactful and funny and of course the Jobs quote as you mention is just perfect. He’s got my vote. I’ll look over the Adobe trashing video if I can find it. But at least when Adobe released their 64 bit AE it still could open up the older projects. How basic is that !!

Sorry Tim… Like I wrote.. someone just sent it to me and I thought considering how decent it was … well that there should have been more viewers than there was. Plus you gotta read some of the posts below the video on YouTube… now those are fairly recent and are just priceless..
Obviously there was a great deal of sarcasm in my posting subject line but hopefully people who are going to NAB this year might find it a bit interesting. By the way… FC X was released in June but announced at NAB last year and to thundering applause I might add.. Fortunately I was not there because I can tell you that from what they showed I was pretty let down. When I found out no ability to open older projects it was a moot point to even investigate it even with it being -
As Lucy Van Pelt said… “don’t you know sarcasm when you hear it”
seems a couple of other posts on this thread got eaten somehow

Just disregard the link if you find it pointless.. I just thought it was classic.. The only way to improve it would have been to put “edited on FCP 7” at the ending.Regards

Yeah sorry don;t have the latest version of Motion as I don’t use FCX … I took out the P on purpose

Sorry… use what you like but you are spot on that Motion is kinda vanilla. I honestly don’t think AE is any more difficult than motion. There are plug ins for AE that simply don’t exist for Motion like invigorator so I stick with what I know works. I had a client fumble for hours trying to do a simple camera zoom in to a very small spot . Did it in about a minute in AE. You may be correct that Motion is more for beginners.

I have been using AE for eons …very close to the beginning … so I prefer that and its integration with PS and Encore. Motion is OK but I just don’t need to learn another program which is where AE was several years ago. IMHO

TO be accurate… Apple has bungled a number of already done software LIKE Logic, Shake and Color. These were not apple software but were purchased by Apple to poach what little bits they could to put into their consumer quality stuff that they have subsequently released. So the conclusion is that you should not be surprised that the big conglomerate Apple cannot write code. They are a big picture company which BIG ideas and have no real skills at writing code. They are trying to figure out the next product to put a lower case i in front of and market to the taffy minded masses.
It must be pointed out that for me, with almost 30 years in editing, I have never EVER had a piece of software released by a company that will not allow the user. IE client, to open older or existing projects. Its just utterly bush league to do that. I know of not one soul who uses FCX ..most are using FCP 7 and myself, although I have 7 fresh in a box, am stilling using 6 because of the need to connect with other suppliers.
If it has taken Apple a whole year to release a 0.3 dot release I doubt you will see anything significant this NAB… maybe nothing.
APPLE is a marketing company who have no ability to write code. They just buy the software they want then decide if it can be marketed.

Very insightful Mark… Truth is still truth … it is whether you want to accept it or not..
