[Bill Davis] "I WISH.

That view is from I saw and heard at the SuperMeet introduction. They talked, IIRC about starting with a clean slate. And the program they introduced was OBVIOUSLY not a simple "tweak" of the Legacy code base that I could tell. And clearly the fact that X is built, not around Quicktime (as Legacy clearly was), but rather AV Foundation and Core Video, kinda supports that as well, don't you think?

I'm not a programmer, so this is all supposition on my part. But I do listen to when the smart guys are talking, even if I don't always totally understand what they're saying. ; )"

I hear ya. And I also understand wanting to present a positive case for FCPX. This is a debate forum and I enjoy the debate. But I think it's important to be clear about what's fact and what's opinion. Maybe it's just a style thing but for example:

[Bill Davis] "Every line of code is clean, clear, and purpose built to do what they wanted. Every feature built into the old had to EARN it's way into the new build. Every line of FCP-X code is optimized for the hardware world we live in today. "

This is a statement of absolute fact. A new visitor looking to this forum for information, not knowing where you're coming from could easily read it that way. If you've talked to the engineers and they've told you this, awesome, please say more. If not, then I think you should expect some push back when you make this kind of argument.

Also, you do know it's common netiquette that anything in all caps IS CONSIDERED YELLING, right?

Just say'in ;)
