Tnx!

I am willing to bet 100 bucks that Mac Pros will be history within the next year or two. What should they be good for? FCP X is basically a single monitor app, drives can attach via Thunderbolt to anything, PCI-E is irrelevant because there is no video IO and an iMac is fast enough to run anything Apple has on offer without problems. Those who may need it for Resolve or whatever – why would Apple care?

Just got my refund email as well.
Basically a standard email as seen elsewhere, with the exception that it noted that it took them longer to respond because “we have been experiencing higher than expected volumes…”.
Anyone here who is angry should make the step and ask for a refund. Not that Apple would care but at least you have stood up. -

None of this helps me or any other post house one single bit if I need antoher licence of the old FCP to get 90 percent of work done that FCP X can’t.

Hi guys, I had my first look today, too, and this looks indeed like a very likely alternative.
However, is there a way for me to create a prores timeline. I always ended up with a red bar and a single three-way-color corrector on the clips it didn’t give me realtime anymore (no Mercury card in this machine).Thanks for the help.

So why not continue selling FCP Studio for those who still need the “old” workflows, the post houses that haven’t gone bust, the people who edit for film, who need multicam, who need proper audio mixing, work with RED and have invested thousands and thousands of dollars into that platform????

Just because Apple announced it at pro event doesn’t mean a darn thing. The used the opportunity to promote an upcoming product and used terminology appealing to that crowd. Apart from that, there is not a single thing here that points in the direction of professional users. Nothing, zero, zilch.
And before you tell me it does 4k: they popped in such a setting, that’s all. In an application that doesn’t even let me export four channels of discreet audio (and that has nothing to do with features they dropped but with the very basic way this app and its stupid trackless timeline works).
Apart from that announcement speak, give a reason why you think they care for the pro market. Give me an explanation why they cannot continue selling FCP Studio alongside FCP X till your predicted upcoming features are in there so people can work. -
I feel for you but, sounds as if this happened at the worst possible time for you, but, quite honestly, nobody here has an answer. Which is why everybody is so upset. We all got screwed and cheated. And I will take a big lesson away from this with regards to anything related to Apple both soft- and hardware wise.
My best suggestion is to try and get by for as long as you can, see what the other vendors like Adobe and Avid will do in the coming months. I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t major movement and appealing things coming from them to bring to their platform what is essentially the biggest nle user base on the planet that is currently without a home. -
If anyone comes up with such a contest I’d gladly donate the money I spent on FCP X (and for which I am waiting to get a full refund from Apple) for the winner.
