Somewhat joking – that’s why I used the 🙂

FCP X: Type A
[spell check OFF]

[Sean Thomas]

No, but that’s funny – explain.

[Sean Thomas]

Exactly.

If you are a TYPE C – please leave us alone. Put TYPE C in your sig in scarlet letters, and go away. Go to the Premier forum where all the PRO’s hang out.

If for some reason you come back because FCP X is so fast and so amazing – we all get to make fun of you for the way you treated all of us TYPE A’s. 🙂

[Sean Thomas]

Yes – sorry about that.

It seems that you assumed that your workflow was my workflow and if it couldn’t work for you it can’t work for me.

It seems that many pro editors – who ever you are – are locked in a box and can’t get out.

I’m on an iCloud and can see for miles. 🙂

My mindset is, no matter what – I am going to make FCP X work for me. A mindset that some can’t seem to comprehend.

So you are saying that Apple, who has spent a ton of time and money redeveloping from the ground up, is going to drop it because some “PRO’s are whining”? (as Jobs would put it)

[Sean Thomas]

I wansn’t making any comment on anyone elses luxury or production demands.

30 sec. spot – mastered stereo audio from ProTools – HD file delivered to 3 stations via FTP.

That’s my luxury. Please don’t slam it or put it down as amature, it’s how I provide for my family.

Please write back and tell us about your experiences when it’s time to deliver a project for a customer: I’d be interested in knowing how it turned out.
Will do. Got a 30 second spot coming up in two weeks. Plan on working through FCP X until then to get my chops up.

Please write back and tell us about your experiences when it’s time to modify an older project, perhaps one from a year ago: I’d be interested in knowing how it turned out.
That’s easy – still got my old FCP systm right beside me, opens up all my old projects.

Please write back and tell us about your experiences when it’s time to make multiple versions of the same project: I’d be interested in knowing how it turned out.
Haven’t tried that yet.

Please write back and tell us about your experiences when when working with Photoshop documents containing multiple layers: I’d be interested in knowing how it turned out.
No problem – got AE.

Please write back and tell us about your experiences when it’s time to bring in an additional editor to work on the same project: I’d be interested in knowing how it turned out.
I get up, he sits down???

Please write back and tell us about your experiences when it’s time to deliver a project on HD videotape: I’d be interested in knowing how it turned out.
Tape? What’s that? 🙂

One more thing I’ve learned. We need two FCP X forums:

1. Elite/Pro – this forum won’t be used becuase pros don’t/won’t/can’t use FCP X. It should redirect to the Adobe Premiere forum where all the Pro’s hang out.
2. Amature – obviously the only people who use FCP X

[Sean Thomas]

Thanks for the info Chris.

1. Any thoughts as to why FCP X is runing on the MacPro with the X1900 XT card?
2. Do you think the best option for the 2008 8 core 3.0 1,2 computer is the GTX 285?
(the 4000 is not on the approved list)

[Sean Thomas]

Yes – I am certainly out of my league in this Pro/Elite only forum.

What I have learned with all the FCP Drama is that some of YOUR lives have been completely turned upside down and traumatized by the release of FCP X. The vile hatred, disgust, and insults against Apple and anyone who says calm down, don’t complain, move forward, proves this.

I am certainly glad my life did not revolve around FCP 8.
