David, I’d love to be proven wrong, but everything points out (last few years’ behavior towards the pro apps, Live Type, Shake, DVD Studio Pro…).
Do you believe that Color or Motion are going to show up… no.
It’s not needed, new environment (You Tube, Facebook web delivery, no tape, quick fix…)
doesn’t require Motion or Color, and doesn’t require a Pro user.Hence the price. It’s fair.
What’s not fair is using FCP name.
This sneak peak was just preparing us for the final blow. They didn’t want to cause a big uproar, so they are approaching it gently.

That’s the problem! It’s exactly what I and many others have said,
it’s an application but for different people for different market.It’s for lazy (sorry, but you introduced this), edit on the fly, quick fix, one click type of users.
Nothing more to add.
And it’s nothing wrong with that.
Probably, for some of those reasons I’m using Photoshop Elements, as I don’t need full Photoshop because I don’t need all those feature, I’m not a graphic designer.But, I’ll never say that Elements is better or that is the future.

It’s a forum, not a fun club. (Definition – forum: “A public meeting place for open discussion.”)
I’m absolutely on the same page with Tom and Walter here. Waiting for June… for what? Just for confirmation, what wasn’t mentioned on sneak peak, it aint gonna happen.
Nothing revolutionary can happen in 2 months.
There is no logic in keeping something for later.If looks like iMovie, feels like iMovie, behaves lie iMovie… then it must be iMovie (pro).
The fact that it’s got new features doesn’t make it more Professional. Of course it should have more feature, but not many of them are those that a Final Cut Pro User (1 – 7 version user) is going to be trilled about.And Phil, just to answer your economical rationale, here is this I posted few days ago on this forum on a similar topic:
That’s not the rationale here. It’s simply a new application that fits in new ecosystem of Google, You Tube and social media.
It’s an application for masses not for few.Why build a suite that will cost them $millions to develop (and further $millions to upgrade, R&D etc)
and sell it to thousands users for $2K when we can sell it for $500 to MILLIONS of users.So, new online ecosystem dictates everything, tags, vord recognition, face recognition all that perfectly fits with Google, You Tube, Facebook and iTunes sharing revolution.
We loved the democratization of video that started a decade a go (and all benefits that came with it: lower price, competition among 3As etc.) , now… the democratization has gone a bit to far for our taste.We just have to forget about Apple and look around… (at least they are still making great hardware,
I mean CS5 already works better and is more advanced on Apple’s hardware then Apple’s software)
That fact (CS5 innovation dominance) was a sign for me of things to come, and today. -
[Craig Seeman] “Let’s remember that Apple’s business model is to use software to sell hardware. They’re thinking about all the MacPro they’re going to sell to push all this real time and background render to the max as we aim for the fastest possible workflows on impossibly tighter client deadlines (and tighter budgets).”
I’m here with Terrence.

Today is the day he caught her in flagrante 🙂

Final Cut Pro X or (e)X Final Cut Pro 🙂

Mark, then you should love iMovie too 🙂
same charcoal color interface…
and windows… and…I know, I know it’s not that bad 🙂
but wait for the next year release FC Xi -
Matthew, it’s not about money, it’s about features, about being a pro application,
about honoring army of people who not only invested money but time to learn and perfect the application or suite… and now suddenly (honestly it wasn’t sudden for me, I saw it coming) you are going to drop us
because you don’t need our money any more, it’s peanuts (comparing to what they are earning from iP gadgets) for us (Apple).
Thats’ the problem, and that’s the answer to those who were saying all these years: “you don’t need to upgrade, use a tool (application) that you want”.We invested our time (first of all) and money and our whole system around you, and you are giving me iMovie X, iMovie on steroids.
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’ve been dropped them all together.
It’d be just consistent with their recent moves,
Shake dropped, DVD Studio Pro on deathbed for years.We can’t say we couldn’t see it coming (Blu Ray ignoring, no leading in innovation in por apps) .
I suspected it years ago, since iPod and iTunes revolution,
only high priests of Cow where jumping fast to quash all “negative” ideas about FCP or Apple(soft).This is just first step in dumbing down FCP, next one will be iMovie and FC X merging into one GREAT application.
-
They are just catching up, so we stop winging,
so we don’t jump the boat.Last time they introduced “Blu-Ray supprt” with Share (doesn’t matter it doesn’t work).
Just stop gap attitude!
They left innovation to others (with pro applications).
We’ve got iPad and iPhone (and cash), so who cares.

Color? That’s for professionals mate, has nothing to do with Final cut (any more) 🙂
Why’d you need Color, when it’s Color Corrected (or Balanced) on ingestion 🙂
