Re: Thank you Apple - and don't change course. Please

[Michael Gissing] "Most of my jobs come from FCP 6 or 7 or AVID. So they open in FCP7 (via Automatic Duck for AVID). They are sent to Color for grading and when I then add back in text it is correct. "

Thanks for detailing your reasons for not using FCPX. I'll always be quick to ask for details when the word "can't" is used. I find in most cases "won't" is more accurate. Not to knock your reasons, I'm just eager to learn from others any potential deal breakers that might apply to our workflow.

For us ProRes QT is a big reason to hope FCPX will meet our needs. There will never be a better NLE for editing ProRes QT than FCPX unless Adobe embraces AV Foundation. That will never happen unless Apple releases AV Foundation for Windows. Right now Adobe and AVID are suck with 32bit QT APIs.

We are communicating our desires for both FCPX and AV Foundation to Apple. We are happy with the improvements so far. Much work is still required and seeing our requests included in future updates is what we are looking for next.
