Clam Down...Apple says missing features coming soon.

I am sorry that all the "pros" are over reacting to the release of FCPX. Instead of being civil they have been quite rude and dumb. If all you guys clam down a second and read the news you would know that almost every single missing pro feature for FCPX will become availible via update rather soon. Apple and several news outlets have made this very clear. SDI, EDL, XML. All those features are coming very soon. Maybe they should not have released it so soon, for that they might deserve a bit of scorn, but the stuid ranting needs to stop. You people are supposed to be professionals and you are acting like children.

Complain away as much as you want. Demand the features we need. But try doing so in a way that doesn't make you come off looking like and a@@.

Adobe is offering a $799.00 upgrade path for FCP users for the whole Production Premium CS5.5 Suite, which of course includes Premier Pro 5.5.

This seems worth investigating. Unfortunately I can't seem to find this offer.

Any hints or links maybe? Thanks!

I would love to see a link with that offer. Is Adobe actually them selves offering this?, or is it a 3. party offering.

The ad I saw was from a third party, but it seems to have an Adobe SKU.

It also does not let you set tracks or anything with the audio. Check out the video of it in action at Automatic Duck, and tell me that your sound guy is going to thank you for giving him audio that is that disorganized!

$299 + $495= no longer a bargain. What else would we have to buy to keep this thing alive?

Jun 26, 2011 4:41 PM in response to bxy

That's about the size of it, which is why we're going back to AVID. There is no point in Apple anymore except for consumer electronics, and I love Apple for that.

Listen Lion is right around the corner, and FCPX is designed for Lion. All of the missing features that you want will be coming when Lion has been released. Relax, take care, spike your hair.

Woo Woo Woo You Know It Bro

If that is the case, then Apple has made the biggest possible mega marketing blunder by simply staying silent about it.
