Re: Email Exchange with Randy Ubillos, FCP X Designer

I like FCPX but I'm certainly sympathetic to your situation because I have the same issue. I have corporate videos and local cable spots that clients request revisions on going back a number of years.

At some point FCP7 will break due to changes in OS and/or hardware and I will no longer be able to revise those projects unless either Apple provides import or I move to another NLE.

Keep in mind Randy Ubillos said it wasn't' a priority, not that it wouldn't happen. Apparently it's not something they thought the first release would need. It's not mission critical at the moment because I can still use FCP7 for that but some of may face the crossroads as soon as Lion arrives. At that point one will not be able to buy a Snow Leopard Mac and another FCS2009 seat. Apple has allowed for no transition period apparently.
