Q: Upgrade or Not?
Now that it's been awile. Is it safe to Upgrade to FCP X for a professional editor?

Cable Documentary mainly, but some reality. Orignial Productions, Prometheus, Morninstar, New Dominion out of Virginia...handful of smaller companies...few larger ones. 90% of them are Avid. A few used to be FCP 7...some are staying there until they have to switch, some have switched. In my world, the shift will be mainly back to Avid. Adobe will have to have editors pushing it like we did FCP if it is to gain any ground. And it will gain ground when media management improves.
