Re: So then, is there really an alternative to FCP after FCP X

Hi Neil -
yes, Adobe CS5 is teriffic, works with Blackmagic and AJA, and can do the same job. You know what is happening here - people learn one thing, and they say "oh no, I can't learn anything else !!!!!". Let's face it, almost everyone was an AVID editor at one time, and then FCP came along. AVID is still great, and will support AJA and Blackmagic with the new release. And of course CS5. And yes, Sony Vegas works, GVG Edius works, and there are others. The world does not revolve around FCP 7. That's like saying if there was no more XSAN or Final Cut Server, there would be no more shared storage, or no more asset management. This is rediculous.

There is no single manufacturer that controls the video business - not Sony, not Panasonic, and certainly not Apple.
