Will OSX Lion still support FCP Studio?

First of all, why the he-double-hockeysticks are you posting this here, black sun? This is a thread about Final Cut STUDIO on Lion, nothing whatsoever to do with FCX.

It was early Patrick!

From your comments I guess you don't agree with the guy then? 😁

*sigh*

I wanted to congratulate you on your latest reply to "the clouded star" or whatshisname. But it looks like the courtesy police was quicker and deleted your post.

Still, you hit the nail on the head.

Nobody, not even you was forced to do anything, I am sorry that you think you were, but you were not.

Yes, we were and we are.

And I'm sure you guys would have made a first rate job as stewards aboard the RMS Titanic.

"The ship is sinking!"

"Ha! No it's not, you fools. Everyone knows this ship cannot sink."

Which is why you have life rafts called Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro...

"Right this way sir..."

How sad that you should feel compelled just because there is something newer.

Ah, apologies. Perhaps I should clarify:

My comment wasn't aimed at Lion. I was commenting on the whole FCX issue forcing us to look for an alternative to FCP - and therefore maybe even forcing us to abandon the Mac platform altogether.

Avid and Premiere Pro both work on Macs...but also PCs, so you have a choice.

I can't leave Mac yet...I like it too much. I get lost in Windows...and HATE IT with a passion.

Then I misunderstood, and for that I apologize

I don't use FCP but I do use ProTools and know how I would feel if it stopped working (not to mention the pocketbook deficiency) but although I have now installed Lion on 11 computers, 4 are still at 10.6.6, the ProTools production machines, when I'm happy that the copies of PT I have running on 2 Lion machines are fine I'll clone them and disperse them on the moneymakers.

My bank manager appreciates that kind of thing 🙂

I know the feeling. When I got my first Mac I couldn't imagine how I could have ever lived and worked without it.

But Avid and Premiere Pro are both first and foremost Windows based editing programs. In terms of upgrades and support the Mac version always comes second.

With FCX not working for me, I HAVE to switch my editing suite in the next year or two. And since I have a first generation Mac Pro I also have to upgrade my hardware. So, I have to ask myself:

Why should I invest in a much more expensive Mac Pro when I can get similar processor power in a PC for less money? Especially when I have to buy new software anyhow?

Why should I invest in a Mac Pro when Apple clearly demonstrates that the Mac Pro user base is no longer of any consequence to them?

I need a company I can trust to a certain degree. A company that will meet my needs also in a few years time. Right now, Apple is NOT that company.

PANIC ATTACK anyone? I think it's too early to make any judgements about the future of Final Cut yet.

Let's see how the updates work when they complete building the suite, which hopefully will be in the next 6 months. In the meanwhile, it's Final Cut 7 on Snow Leopard for me. I tried FC Studio in Lion and it didn't work for my FC 7 project originally created in Snow Leopard.

Csound1 don't listen to ANYTHING SwissBunna says - HE HASN'T GOT A CLUE. He's ALL MOUTH.

He WILL NOT jump ship and go to Windows; because he knows there isn't a future for him there.

Instead of the constant gripeing, he should just get on with his job and enjoy it... 😁

Which company is? They have a different point of view and when they choose to change the rules we will just have to live by a different set of rules. We are not setting the standards, they are.

Apple your starting to make the Windows world look better. STOP SCREWING US AROUND
