[Oliver Peters] “No, but you are technically incorrect. These were two different product brand names. Final Cut Pro and Final Cut Pro X. These are individual brand names, not version numbers. “
I don’t think so.
Apple calls it Final Cut Pro on their page.

[Oliver Peters] “That’s just marketing semantics. “
That’s just your opinion. You don’t get to decide what their product is or what they call it. They do.

[Oliver Peters] “You both believe in revisionist history. There STILL is NO viable path built inside of FCPX to transfer a sequence directly from FCP7 to FCPX.”
That’s a different issue.
They stopped making the version 7 of FCP.
They didn’t stop making FCP.
Just because you can’t bring in a version from 7 doesn’t mean the stop making FCP.
I worked with folks last week who are still working on 7 today. I’m helping move them to X

[Simon Ubsdell] “It’s Cmd/plus and Cmd/minus if you’re using the extended keyboard.”
You didn’t say which keyboard at the top of your post. You just said this “In FCP X it’s Cmd- and Cmd=.”
Had you said on a “short keyboard” it’s “In FCP X it’s Cmd- and Cmd=.” that would have been more accurate.
I work on an extended keyboard, and the + and – keys are the closest keys to the mouse. No problem.
Just out of curiosity how would you do it differently for the short keyboard?

[Oliver Peters] “but that pretty close to killing a product.
“Not at all. they still have the product out there. They have a newer version of it. That’s better than the old one.

[Andrew Kimery] “Apple would have been separating me from my own IP once I decided to stop using the NLE they killed.”
That’s not an accurate statement is it Andrew?
Apple didn’t kill FCP, they have a newer version that’s more advanced than the old one. You may not like that version, but plenty people do.
That’s not the same as killing FCP.

[Tim Wilson] “Although I can see why some people would call you crazy for not just paying lip service to “using the right tool for the job” but actually THINKING about the best tool,”
It really didn’t have anything to do with anybody bing called crazy.
Somebody made a point, then somebody challenged it and then somebody made a strawman’ish response.
Then someone else responded by implying that others were not actually “THINKING” about the tools when THEY made THEIR decisions.
As if THEY can’t even explain their decisions. THEY were not THINKING.
I think you should rethink that statement.

[Simon Ubsdell] “Call me crazy,”
Everyone stop calling Simon crazy. Everyone who might have been doing that : )

[Simon Ubsdell] “I’d say there’s nothing in it, although arguably there is slightly more cruft hanging around the FCP X interface than in Premiere’s.”
You have to have that “patch panel” in Pr That’s the “cruft” I don’t need.
Take a picture with the title tool open in pr and titles in X

[Simon Ubsdell] “In FCP X it’s Cmd- and Cmd=.
“Zoom in X command + and zoom out command – right?
Make sense to me. The plus key and minus keys are on the left on my keyboard.
I remap all of my modifiers that I use a lot to one single key.
