Re: Editing scenario

Indeed, it is a possibility. As I said, I think trackless was folly. And if they came I would be curious then to have a look. But thing is, by then will I care? I've started wrapping my head around PP CS6. Sure it is missing little things i'm used to in FCP7 but they do listen to feature requests so in time I imagine those will come back and on the whole it is great. it has little things FCP didn't have. Even without the right graphics card it runs nicely. The layout options of the windows is blinding and i'm loving those across my two monitors, etc. etc.

For me there isn't a need to know all editing software as I'm self contained, so one is fine and to be honest my love affair with apple has died. I'm personally pondering whether to shift to PC when my work station needs upgrading, and the answer is probably yes because I do believe Apple see the buck in consumer stuff and I simply cannot and will not trust them again. This whole debacle is costing me time and money, both of which are mine to use as I see best and thus being forced by apple to waste both is a tad annoying.

Personally, I think, and will always think, apple cocked up. They believe their own hype and they don't really appear to listen to the negative voices because, y'know, they're huge dude and X million units of YZ and A shifted by the third quarter validates everything they do.

I truly believe as time passes FC will slip further and further down the pecking order for top end editing and as such it's reputation within the mid and lower ranges of editing will be diminished. I bought FCP in the first place because of the adoption by top end editing. For that same reason I chose not to start with PP. I do truly believe the next 3 years will see those two swap places.

So again, by the time they sort things out, will I care? Sadly, I think not.
