As of now scuttlebutt is that shared storage is not in the future for this program. It’s a single workstation single editor application from the roots of it’s design.

You are totally right. Broadcast professional editors were not generating the kind of revenue that Apple predicts can be gained by shifting their product to a much broader range of customers.
Its simple business – if Apple does not make profit they will cease to exist. They are a business just like you.
If you were editing films for client X for many years, and now you are not making much money from client X any more. Clients A, B, C, and D come along and for a lower fee you can do their projects in the same amount of time it took to do client X, and your aggregate income will increase. You would be an idiot not to do it.
What I am trying to say is you will try to keep long term clients but after a while if that long term client is not enough to pay the bills you will have to drop them in order to pick up one that’s more lucrative.

[Nelson Torres] “So the Tech departments have to upgrade to spend their budget for the year (or permanently lose it) and they wind up reinstalling Avids. Now you can forget FCP ever coming back. They did it once but will not do it again.”

I was going to reply exactly as you have but I figured since I used the flatbed in my initial post , I would just be repeating myself.

Pro Tools has always been easier to use than Soundtrack Pro IMHO (I do a lot of audio). The only difference is Pro Tools is more $$ – you have to buy plug-ins whereas a lot of stuff is built in to soundtrack but harder to use. I guess you get what you pay for!
I always had better luck going from FCP 7 to Pro Tools and back than FCP to soundtrack and back… go figure… -
Avid and Adobe too.
There are also still some Sony, BTS, and Lynx EE edit controllers out there. And of course there are still the trusty old Steenbeck flatbeds and Movieola uprights.

Autosave did not begin with FCP X…

Is this for real or a joke?
