[Bill Davis] "In what way did they "lose sight" of pro users? Are you trying to argue that a sub-frame accuracy in edits, robust timecode support, a monster database under the hood and stuff like Roles are built for folks doing birthday party videos and the occasional low budget wedding?"
In the way FCPX lacks support for some complex workflows that FCP7 had -- most especially in high end film and broadcast, where there are no working amateurs by definition?
I get that the question of defining pro is very complicated, and a lot of the "pro" talk here comes back to a Justice Stewart-style sense of "I know it when I see it."
With that said, haven't we all agreed by now that FCPX may be appropriate for some "pro" workflows, but not for all?
