This is a great question and I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I am a solopreneur shooter/editor and can select my own software and equipment. I’ve used FCP since version 2 and have stayed with 7 out of habit – I dabbled in FCP X, Premier, and my old AVID and just had a tough time learning those languages when I was proficient in FCP 7. It is getting more tough to edit, though, – all the transcoding of gopro, dslr, xdcam, but I’ve managed. This project, using the H4N Zoom, I was sure I’d have to edit in another system to sync multi-cam + zoom audio. But to my surprise, it looks like pluraleyes will work with FCP 7. So as long people keep developing band aids like this, I’m probably going to stick with FCP 7 until the wheels fall off, or hopefully until someone buys the rights to FCP 7 and then gives us the overhaul in this environment we were all expecting years ago. The longer they wait, the more people will migrate away, though. I still think it is a massive failure for Apple to have abandoned career editors this way.
