Re: Editing scenario

[Andy Field] "The bottom line is - this problem (and many others) didn't exist before FCPX. And in fact doesn't exist in any other NLE (well maybe IMOVIE)"

Amen Andy, especially coming from someone who knows the app and has written insightful stuff about it.

FWIW it echoes about everything I've written about X as someone who's shop is producing with it 7 days a week.

It could really be something if Apple got over their vision thing and understood both the opportunity and the obligation regarding the other half of what the app needs to do in order to work as a true professional app.

I'm defining "professional" as an NLE developed for the spectrum of professional use not a demographic niche. If ever there was an instance and a time when a company could have it's cake and eat it to, this would be it.

I mean this with all due humility.
One day in Cupertino with their team and I could give them all the consulting and direct input they would need to satisfy most every dissenter on this board - without spoiling their party.

I say this because I've listened to virtually every intelligent argument, frustrated 7 user and creative suggestion and because I've worked through FCPX's shortcomings on project after project.
