I have calmed down I have gone into zen mode with the whole FCPx thing. Stuarts right FCP7 is still a great operating system & will continue to be so for some time to come. However one day it will cease to be relevant when some new “go to” file format of third party software is released. So until that time and in my zen mode, Apple has a limited time to address & bedazzle us with FCPX upgrades. Failing suitable ‘awesomeness” I will emerge from my zen state & jump to another NLE designed for professionals, no big deal, just do it & consign with a sigh a great editing system (that can & still does out perform Avid) to the dust bin of history.
