Im afraid that it is not clear what direction Apple has decided to take since we have not seen the final product and it is interesting to state that it’s “100% clear” when it was previously mentioned this is mere speculation.

What is “clear” is that the lower price and short demo of Final Cut X has editors, such as myself, worried that this product is meant for the occasional user and in no way professional. I would venture to say that since Apple has created this application from the ground up, speculation based on a shot demo and screen shots doesn’t even qualify as an educated guess since Apple themselves have stated that this app was meant to directly compete with the professional apps from adobe, etc. There is nothing clear……yet.

Am I worried…not really. I expect a program that could be interchangeable between novice and professional, much like After Effects, but even if for some reason Apple has decided to do something unorthodox, I still have Premiere and Final Cut Pro to fall back on.
