Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Jeremy Garchow] "Waaayyy back in November of 2011..."

That's like 3.5 "FCPX or Not" years.


[Jeremy Garchow] "I did some Cow research on the release of the first FCP and what people we're saying back then, mostly in terms of cost, and any effect it might be having on Avid editors. If you have the time, I suggest reading the post from the list of links. It gives us over a decade of perspective. It is sometimes uncanny how cyclical this whole situation appears to be."

Great links. I encourage everyone to re-read them.

On the general topic, I think it's critical to remember that these products all evolve, and we need to be willing to re-evaluate them periodically.

When FCP v1 came out, some people said that it was the future, and other people said it wasn't as good as Avid. They were both right.

When Avid came out, some people said it was the future, and other people said it wasn't as good as a CMX. They were both right.

When the UVW-1800 came out, some people said it was the future, and other people said it wasn't as good as BVW-75. They were both right.

What we see today (or what we saw a year ago) might not be valid another year from now. I think most of us here believe this, and it's why we are still here.
