Hi Dave,
Not sure if you’re reading me right. Im merely expressing the fact that despite the obvious evidence of Apple’s abandonment/disregard of the current [not future] professional market, so many people still blindly seem to think that all that will change. This is the route Apple has chosen and it is the same route they will keep on trekking, the route that leads to the prosumer and consumer market.
I am a disgruntled professional editor and I do use use broadcast monitors, metadata exchange with a professional color grading suite, and I still do deliver to tapes.
Oh, and I don’t get your comment about my posts in youtube, as I don’t upload on youtube really.
Cheers.
Tom

I just want to repeat what I just posted in another thread, but still applies here:
Wow. You can cut through the fan-boyism in this room with a box cutter.
It’s just like those May 21 doomsday followers. And when the end didn’t come on the said date, they still blindly believed the same guy when he said that the end will come in October.

Personally, I think the Mac Pros will die sooner than we think. Da Vinci and Autodesk will move on to the non-mac platforms [actually, their higher end models run on PC/Linux suites, so they might just push that and port to Win7].
The professional software vendors simply cannot depend on Apple to look after their interests when it comes to deciding which hardware they decide to EOL next. As mentioned countless of times here in the FCPX forum, the pros make up a small slice of their market.
My 2cents.

So they think FCP7 was a dinosaur huh? The same way AfterFX is a dinosaur too which is why Apple tried to topple it with Motion? Look how that turned out.
I’d like to see them take a swing at Photoshop, since by now, it “should” be a dinosaur too. Hold on to your hats, iPhoto PRO is coming.

What hardware are you using to get your signal out to the monitor?

Might just be a simple oversight but are you using the Kona project presets for the new project?

I just cant see myself waiting for who knows how long to get plug in manufacturers make fcpx a better piece of software. One that will do AT LEAST the basic pro functionality it had before. We dont even know if they ever will.
And if more pros abandon the fcpx platform, and since fcp7 is already EOL today, these plugin guys wont be able to make much new sales today. Why would they risk developing for fcpx when current fcpx incarnation is more for home use and usually these users dont buy specialized plugins.
As a wiser business decision, if I were in their shoes, I would concentrate my already small development team to software that I know has my target market in mind, which would be PP and Avid.

Let us stop being disillusioned here. Its been 2 years since the last major upgrade, they had all the time to listen. Its clear that its not our market they are after anymore. Time to move on.
-
what about if you put it another way – what if FCX becomes the photoshop of editing system? What if it just flat out wins? Photoshop has a continuum of applications from design, through fashion, architecture, illustration, all based around a common toolset that been refined for an age.
Highly doubtful, unless Apple decides to open up FCPX to PC users. Apple just has too small of a market share for FCPX to be used as widespread as Photoshop.
