I have to say I agree with Tom and criticism is well deserved here since the old FCP simply isn’t available for purchase anymore from Apple and it will slowly disappear from resellers, too.
So… what do I do if I need another license for a new edit suite in three month time? This is a very serious problem because for my particular workflow FCP X in its current state is 100 per cent unusable. It’s the usual way Apple handles these things and I am getting seriously annoyed and angry at their information and product policy. Don’t release it if it isn’t ready for primetime. How hard can it be to implement tape capture and output?
