If you order a stock 4 or 6 core you can get them… even at the store. The problem is that most of us will want upgraded versions or BTO (build to order).

If you want more ram, or better GPU’s, or more storage, you’re looking at February…

[David Powell] “I was sure we’d get favorite effects and audio transitions. ooh well.”

I really wonder if they realize just how much time is wasted by not having a Favorites folder? The search thing is too time consuming and requires that you remember the exact name of the third-party (or native) plugin you’re trying to find. I’ll bet I waste at least an hour on every single project because we don’t have this…

[Simon Ubsdell] “I know I’m sounding like Scrooge but I didn’t mean this to be a thread about all the things that are still “missing” of which there may be many, few or none depending on your workflow and preferences as an editor.”

Not really. The lack of something simple like the playhead moving along with the timeline is frankly… ahem… embarrassing. How many times do we have to ask for it? Just tell us, so we can get the damned petition going…

[Steve Connor] “Sadly it’s not. I’m not sure it ever will be!”

Sad, sad, sad…

[Helmut Kobler] “Love the sound of the new “Libraries” function in FCPX…also “Project Snapshots””

Just some of the things from FCP7 that we wanted back…

[Walter Soyka] “I am happy to see Libraries”

So much of the convenience features that we lost from FCP7 has returned in this release. These additions alone would have made this a great release, but the new stuff as well makes it really something. The level of polish is quite something.

Imagine if this had been the first release?

[Bill Davis] “One day notice live to the world is a little scary – but at least I’ve now had enough practice so that I’m thrown too badly when I mess up “live” these days!”

Don’t sweat the small stuff. As we’ve discussed over these many years, content is still king…

[Marcus Moore] “How are you making a call on which processor to get? I’d pull the trigger tomorrow but I need to see some real-work FCPX and Motion specific benchmarks with the various CPUs.”

Roger that… and the GPU’s…

[Andy Neil] “I’m expecting a significant Motion update to whatever FCPX is going to have.”

I sure hope you’re right… round-tripping to Motion is sorely missed…

[David Mathis] “Then again it could be that high octane cup of coffee with caffeine supreme I had this morning.”

Could be worse… you could be using Red Bull as an IV drip…
