APPLE - GIVE US OUR MONEY BACK!!!!!

This is not a Final Cut Pro piece of editing software.


This is iMovie with some enhanced features, hence the ability to import older iMovie projects,

but not Final Cut Pro projects.


I HAVE SPENT THE ENTIRE DAY BEING BOUNCED AROUND FROM THE APP STORE PEOPLE,

TO THE ITUNES PEOPLE TO THE FINAL CUT PEOPLE.


Each time they tell me another department handles what I need to have done.


When you misrepresent a product as poorly as this, people will not stand for it.


This is a joke of a "pro" app and Apple should stand up and take the punch to the stomach.


Apple you built your rep on making great products, maybe this one made sense somewhere in the

test labs, but in real life it leaves millions of professional editors who rely on FCP everyday to make a

living.


Take FCP 7, add in 64bit and I'll give you $300. Keep everything else the same for all I care, but this

app (FCPX) is completely useless for any form of professional editing.

I asked for my money back. This is in no way, shape or form a "Pro" app that deserves the term. As a replacement of FCS it is nothing more than a bad joke.


I've downloaded it on day one and have tested it now for a few days - so, my reaction is not "hysterical". If you guys are happy with FCPX, good for you. I for one am not prepared to pay for a half-baked version of a software with some key features unexplicably missing. The letdowns have been discussed at length in other parts of the forum.

I'm furious and I have every right to be.


If Apple fixes this in months to come - good for them. But if this is the course they're taking with Final Cut I very much doubt I'll be there when they finally present a working version of the software. It would have helped if there had been some official statement from Apple explaining what the big picture is. But rumours on what may or may not be upgraded is simply not good enough.

That method (stacking video layers and cutting between cameras) works fine if all of your coverage is of one guy pointing at cameras, but when you get to the real world and you have cameras covering an event it just doesn't work. Because the cameras change shots, have to move, have to check focus, etc. you really need to be able to see what each camera is looking at so you can make informed decisions.
