Re: Todays FCP X announcement

"I will tell you what the real showstopper for many folks here is:
Learning how to use the new software."

Well that doesn't apply to me. I have spent my life beta testing all sorts of editing software, mostly audio editing. As I have pointed out from the beginning of FCPX debate is that the magnetic timeline for me represented a backwards step in audio functionality and by adding Roles, Apple seems to be moving away from a possibility that they will let the editor decide which model works best.

I could bore you with dozens of reasons why Roles and magnetic timeline can't efficiently make the deliverables that I need on a day to day basis but I have already been there and done that.

So until it gets all the functionality that I rely upon and are available in FCS3 I just can't use this software professionally. I'll tell you when all my list is tick if and when it happens.
