[Rick Wise] "A large number of posters on the Cow's FCP X forum speak of moving to Premier or Avid."
I find it ironic that FCP editors are jumping ship to Avid and Adobe and you want to jump onto the sinking FCP X ship. (I guess there will be lots of room on deck with everyone jumping) ;-)
I watched the FCP X demos and it finally has features that have been in Vegas since Vegas Video 3. It's obvious that FCP developers spent a lot of time with Vegas Pro to get it to behave that close. I'd rather be using the real thing than a wanna-be (FCP X). It just confirms that Sony had it right all along.
[Rick Wise] "No one, not a single one, mentions Vegas"
I'm not sure what forums you're reading but the
Apple FCPX - Final Cut Pro X mentions Vegas a LOT!
[Rick Wise] "But it's the hardware, stupid, or rather the cost of the hardware: That's the obstacle. "
Yea, the $2400 FCP X dongle (called a Mac) is what puts a lot of people off. I'm sure if Vegas were available on the Mac, FCP users would be jumping to Vegas but unfortunately, Sony put all it's eggs in the Windows basket and that's a big barrier to attracting FCP editors.
