I'm with Bill. Let's discuss this in 3-4 years, which would be 2.5 compared with 1999 years.
I wonder if the 443 hours of footage for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo might have benefited from the tagging power of X?
I'm sure someone is already working on tools for using XML to conform the final print for editing features on FCPX.
I've seen how Walter Murch assembles photos on his wall representing shots in his bins. I'll bet someone could even create an app to integrate with X that will automatically give Walter his images, let him select the representative frames, and then let him flip through them on his ipad. And the app will be $10.
I think the sky's the limit, and I'm excited to what's next.
It'll be interesting to see how much editors like Baxter and Wall will continue to work with Final Cut Pro 7, even though it's eol'd.
