Soon it will be the day when FCP 6/7 no longer works, and you will find yourself long way behind in the understanding of how this works, for a tiny cost, less than 12 months subs to Adobe, you have a full paid for editing system that does not need to phone home every 30 seconds to mommy asking am I allowed to work.ĭrop FCP 7, install X and make money.Only a fool stands in the rain wondering why they are getting wet. That is a great question, if Standard Def worked, why did we need to have HD, 2K, 4k? Progress, you can stand and shout how crappy X is, the fact is, there is a very exciting, vibrant community of developers creating all sorts of apps and plug in's for X, I do not see any where as near as vibrant and productive a community in Avid or Adobe userbase. X has flaws, so does all the other editing systems, there is no perfect system, having used 6/7 aka Classic FCP, and now X, and seeing how rooted in the FCP Classic mode Avid and Adobe are, I am not sure for how much longer Avid and Adobe are going to maintain the fixed tracks system. Maybe Apple Inc has this covered and the need to reach out to the developers, is not needed. With a few tweaks here and there, Final Cut Pro X will be the only reason to edit anything from baby births to $100m Snottywood creations.Īpple Inc is working very hard, I hope, on improving the experience of editing on X, although I am surprised that there are no sessions at WWDC dedicated to FCP X or Logic. So for those of you clinging to the hope that the Apple will make the move back to it's old non linear editor you need to know that FCP 7 is Dead. They are updating their software regularly and it has surpassed FCP 7. I understand if you don't want to make the move to FCP X but there are other developers out there that took the opportunity to grow their product through the FCPX Discontent. Yes, they released it too early and it was not ready for Pro users. And the speed at which I'm able to work is almost double that of FCP 7. What I'm able to bring out of FCPX compared to anything I was able to do on FCP Studio is much, much better. I've heard all of the complaints about FCP X and the best anyone can come up with is it looks like iMovie Pro. I started editing video on FCP the day Version 1 came out, and it has allowed me to start and do well with my own high end motion production company. Another partition (or external disk) is well worth the time to validate that. If your livelihood depends on it, don't upgrade unless you have tested that the solution will work. How much? Unfortunately, only time will tell and as another person mentioned. This software is outdated and you might indeed have more issues with Yosemite. The original thread was about FCP 7, not X. FCP X has worked on every single upgrade on my machine. It's not change for the sake of change, it's evolution.Īs for your brand new Retina not running FCP X, well, I have an MBP from 2010 and went through 4 OS upgrades. The changes in Yosemite are significant but they might not matter to you. You don't want the change? DON'T UPGRADE! It's that simple. This is not the place nor the time to talk about pro applications unless this is a development related application (aka XCode).Ĭalling something a piece of crap simply because you don't want to learn minor changes and adopt enhancement is just plain stupid.
