Are YOU this complacent and passive in YOUR personal life. Sorry, but if you want to get personal the door swings both ways. Im a firm believer in communication and truth. These folks are communicated honestly their experience of this software.

When you look at them, a lot of those people have a vested interest in its success (ie trainers and software developers) 😉

Actually, with Apple, silence is typical.

“I’d like to know why the decision to EOL FCS3 was made just now. Clearly, it had nothing to do with Apple’s cost of supporting it. After all, they never supported it anyway. The Creative Cow has provided more support than for FCP than Apple ever has.”

I must say, Im am looking forward to working with software developed and supported enthusiastically by it parent company. It amazing the outreach of info and the response to feedback that Adobe has done with CS5. Such dedication and energy earns my respect and my dollars. Its nice to see active demonstrations that they care.

To stay competitive in this harsh economic time its necessary to maximize the effectiveness of your tools. Using a hand drill (FCP7) when other are using a power drill (Avid, PP) makes your slower in finishing a project. Take native timelines as an example of this analogy. Transcoding is going the way of the horse and buggy, but FCP 7 is still beating that dead horse. You need to innovate and advance with the times and technology . Staying with FCP 7 really is not an option for many professional editors.

George, you’ve articulated the basic problem with X. Most NLEs I work with will accommodate your style and preferences (ie organization).
With Apple and X. its “My way or the highway”. Not my idea of good professional software at all.

On the other hand, many editors new to the trade or with simplistic workflows are being wowed by the bling and unaware of the importance of what FCP X is severely lacking. Hey if you like it and it works for you, more power to ya. That is NOT the case for everyone.

“My approach is simple. Embrace. It is going to be around. ”

Yes, the growing culture Prosumers will definitely keep it alive. But a lot of other folks will be abandoning it. Mark my words.
