I can see journalists who used to depend on professional editors, cutting out professional editors and editing news clips themselves.
I can also see students and businessman editing together presentation videos for class or a business meeting, thus effectively giving the ax to dedicated in-house A/V departments.
Will this be the end of professional editors and the beginning of bad-editing?
Apple has already shown us they prefer their users to have a limited internet-experience by banning Flash from their iOS devices — perhaps they prefer presentation videos and newsclips to start with curtain-closing transitions and end with star wipes?
All joking aside, I could see Michael Scott being VERY EXCITED for FCPX.
FCP — RIP 2011
