Suspicions Validated about Final Cut

lovely.

Guess I'll have to learn AVID now. The NLE I have never liked.

Try Premiere.

I think it's still to early to tell

I understand if it's your bread and butter and income for work, I get that, but FCP X may develop and get much deeper

Apple has already stated - there will be changes upon the first update

I don't think it's time to give up yet. People like me, that do music videos, I can still survive with FCP 7. Apple has already stated FCP 7 will work with the LION OS release (update).

The one thing that you learn in any forum, some of the concerns are actually due to individuals not learning the software and believe certain things just don't work when in fact they can

I am not stating that suddenly all the concerns have solutions at this point, becasue they don't. I understand why the "Professional" editors are angry - they should be

I don't blame people for being upset, not one bit but for those that are thinking about buying it or have it already and it's not killing you or your lifestyle, I would not jump ship quite yet

You know, we shot a music video on a $450 standard definition camera, edited on final cut express and we took home the Grand Prize of $1000. We were up against people shooting on the RED, actual film and all kinds of cameras and formats. Sometimes if you're the little guy you find ways to make it happen

All I'm saying is, in regards to that, all is not lost and wait before throwing in the towel. I understand if you are a production studio, production house and/or broadcast based and FCP X at this point is a no go, I get that but for others I would not give up immediately and think you have to go get something else right now.

Its' that first or second update that will be the deciding point for me. Right now, I have to be patient

I second trying out Premiere. I've been testing CS5.5 for the last few days and so far it's actually pretty nice. It's speed is on par with FCP7. Sure there are some changes but im sure i can learn those.

Unfortunately i can't afford it right now, but luckily by the time the trial runs out I was gonna reinstall the OS anyway 😉

Disturbing article, but yes it has been proved true again and again.

i am applying for a refund on FCP X when I get home tonight, and I have really been trying hard to learn FCP X, but from the FAQ it is just not the editing program that I need.
