Re: DaVinci Resolve 8.1 -- now with FCPXML roundtrip support

While this is really great news, Resolve ain't exactly cheap. With all the plugins and other programs (future and present) that will be needed to restore FCPX to the functionality of legacy FCP, I have a feeling the price tag is going to far exceed the price Final Cut Studio. Da Vinchi Resolve alone costs more than what I paid for my copy FCS3 (and actually even more than the 1/2 price deal I got on Adobe Production Suite).

This may not be a big deal far large production houses with deep pockets, but for an independent operator guy like myself (who went to a lot of trouble learning the complex, definitely non-user friendly Color), I have a sinking feeling the modular FCPX model is going to be very expensive indeed.

I hope this isn't true -- but it looks that way to me.
