And the missing members of this forum are...

Note that each of those products are "Categories" within the Final Cut Studio subcommunity; click "Refine this list…" and you'll see them.

Why this weirdly lame software was adopted for the Apple Discussions is unknown. You might as well get used to it because there does not' seem to be any place to complain.

The FCP section, because it covers so may diverse applications, should be a "community," whatever that is.

There are lots of columns that should be visible like show started the thread so I know who to ignore and who posted the last response so I know whether the answer is likely to be useful so I can avoid wasting time opening the thread.

\There is so much that is wrong about this forum it's obvious we are not the intended users; the iPad, Safari, iTunes and Apple products for Windows discussions that must realize benefits from this format. We're just chopped liver.

This totally blows.

i think I agree with you David ( and that doesnt happen that often! ;-)).

I wanted to give this new forum some time, get used to the new way of doing things, but it hasnt clicked yet, the small amount of stuff I do is now harder. I agree about seeing who started the thread. and the inly fun part, the point scoring, has been relegated to an embarrassed after thought.

but i'll give it some more time and see what happens, and hey the same's not going to happen to fcpx is it!?

(actually i dont think it will and am looking forward to the new challenge I mean release)

Using the change in the forums to highlight your angst about the future of the FC Studio product is an interesting parallel. I'll stay with it.

We all need a bit of time to see just how this new way of sharing knowledge works. If you don't find the thing your looking for right away it doesn't mean its gone. In the discussions under the link to this section Final Cut Studio You'll find three tabs at the top. In the tab labeled All Content your find the discussions broken down into the various products under the studio banner.

Some early reaction to the new version of Final Cut were negative because its appearance was perceived as a dumbed down version. The reality is the UI redesign and added features are a step forward in the area editing. As for the future of products like Color, DVDSP, Motion and SoundtrackPro, (I trying not to speculate) I'm sure that the kind of improvements seen in Final Cut Pro will also be apart of the next versions of those products.

I've been trying to use the new forums, but with all of Final Cut Studio lumped into the same "Forum" and merely subcategories, it makes it extremely hard to sort thru. I can't find my active posts because in my list of posts, the top things are topics I posted to three years ago instead of the most recent.

I'm sorry - the new forum format blows big time.

but "Soundtrack" turns out not to be soundtrack Pro but old legacy Soundtrack-not-Pro stuff. So it's in the same boat as the lost children.

Yeah, but now we get to "like" so we can pretend we're on facebook. Wait, what? I hate facebook.

There are sections for the other products. As I say above [In the] section Final Cut Studio You'll find three tabs at the top. In the tab labeled All Content your [sic] (you'll) find the discussions broken down into the various products. From the immortal Sgt. Schultz "I know nothing, nothing.", about what is to come.

As a side note I was a bit surprised I found my way back to this discussion. I'm sure we all will learn how. I would say that it appears aimed at the chatty kind of crowed instead of the old folk like so many of us I see here 😁 .

Ok I'm still learning.

What you need to to do to get to the various product sections (i.e. Motion, DVDSP, etc.) is to click on the Refine This List link 😕. Hmm.
