Re: Article: Real World Editing: From Avid to FCP and Back Again

[Steve Connor] " I think I would have made the same decision if I was in charge at BMP."

As would anyone that works in broadcast. Banking on an empty promise, "it will be fixed soon" is putting yourself in harms way.



[tony west] " ...after X adds features in a couple of months why couldn't it be used for shows like that?"

Are you positive that these features will be added in a few months? Will they work as advertised or will there be bugs to be worked out? Apparently Mark isn't feeling all warm and fuzzy about Apple's promises.

Also (as noted in the article) shared storage is critical for BMP's work flow. Is there a solid sharing solution coming out soon for FCPX?

What about training 100+ editors?

Which scenario would be the most time consuming?

A. Transitioning a team from FCP7 to FCPX.

B. Transitioning a team from FCP7 to Media Composer.


FCPX can and does work fine for individuals and small scale operations. For large broadcast operations it has no place.
