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

[Jeremy Garchow] "Does the iPhone come with Angry Birds?"

No, it comes with Angry Editors.

And maybe my analogy wasn't the best, but if I couldn't bring in my old aps, or my old contact list, or calendar, it would be worse than annoying. If Adobe made a new Photoshop that couldn't open old psd files, there would be just as strong a revolt.

Personally, I'm keeping FCP7 around for as long as I can for those times I need to retool an old project. It would be nice to be able to use the new tools with the legacy work.

Is Apple unfairly taking bad heat for all of this? Are editors prematurely leaving Apple for Avid and Adobe? Can they afford to keep using FCS3 for the next several years until FCX gets back the missing tools?

FCX is working for me, but barely. I'm still hitting bugs, workarounds and slow-downs.

FCX. She tempts me, abuses me, beats me up, makes me feel worthless, then in the end she comes around, helps me get my work done, gives me hope and I can't stop thinking about her.
