Re: One year later...

[Chris Kenny] "Yes, they took a bit of a PR hit in forums like this in the process, but did this really do widespread long-term damage? Will a significant number of high-end FCP 7 customers for whom X is a good choice on its merits really choose something else as they finally do start to migrate away from 7 just because X had a rocky introduction that's now more than a year in the past?"

You keep referring to "forums like this" as if this is the only place that has anything negative to say about X. I don't know what its like in NYC, but here in LA that is far from reality.

And "really choose something else?" "Migrate away?" FCP X is something else. The only thing it has in common with FCP 7 are the words "Final Cut Pro." Using other companies' software is actually a closer experience to using FCP 7, than using X. How is choosing X not choosing something else? How is going with it NOT migrating away from FCP 7.

I'm open to finding and using the benefits of FCP X, but right now its missing a lot of little tools that help me do my work, especially in audio, but also in basic things like sync indicators. And Roles may work, and hooray for someone who likes the approach, but they don't work for me.
