Re: FCPX or Not...

[Bill Davis] "Search is what makes the modern internet actually functional on a day to day basis. Not for "computer professionals" who could always manipulate the bits they needed, but for every day people.

I completely understand why all the professional editors here are so inflexibly stuck in obsessing on the fact that it doesn't "edit" the way other software does.
"

Which is why they've got half of a professional program Bill.

I'm not inflexibly stuck.
I'm very flexible, which is why I dove into FCPX and why, after doing a lot of work in it for half a year, I like half of FCPX.

The half they left out is the ability for professionals to use the proven, world class, talents and techniques that they've honed for decades, within their new X paradigm.

If Apple doesn't respect those invaluable skills learned over, probably, millions of hours of their users professional careers, then they're just arrogant wonks.

And if they are arrogant enough to think that our professional skills aren't worth supporting, then we should support Adobe so that we have a strong, software-only company that's builds programs based on their users needs.

It's called a professional relationship and Apple seems to think that that's a top down arrangement.
