FCPX is awesome.
So, I formatted one of our Macs with a Lion USB stick and then installed the OS after. I tried to install my FCP6 on this machine, and was unable to - it says it will not run on Lion. Obviously, there is no upgrade without downgrading to iMovieX... so...
If I buy the FCS3 from 1800-My-Apple, will THAT install on my Lion based machine?
Right, that was my point. Maybe they should re-examine the way they edit (ie, with others).
No, not because Apple said so.That's patently absurd. Are you trying to imply that collaboration is a bad thing and that we should accept an isolated editing environment because Apple 'said so?'
The world of professional film and television production simply does not work that way, will never work that way, and SHOULD never work that way - it's a collaborative effort.Right, that was my point. Maybe they should re-examine the way they edit (ie, with others).
Anyway, "thinking different" would be not to resurrect a single entry-level 1U server - it would be to partner with a tier 1 vendor like HP and with VMware to support OSX virtualized under ESX on a select range of ProLiant servers.
Want a nice 1U, get a DL360. Want an 80 core, 2 TiB RAM model, get a DL980.
Not as long as Sony and the movie studios insist on injecting the Blu-ray DRM-du-jour into OSX. Not gonna happen...maybe we'll finally see bluray drives on macs.
A perfect example is just two posts above you. A guy saying final cut X will 'eventually become the standard' in video editing.
Quite the opposite, it has already become 'irrelevant' in the world of video editing.
Right, updated the way it needed to be.
Don't forget the ability to open the previous versions
Exactly.So Professional Users who are using Final Cut Studio already need to buy it so they can use?
Don't get how a new product affects your ability to use the one you already have.....

The world of digital video evolves at a fast pace -- so we need native DSLR support, 64 bit render and multiple core support and the ability to address more than 3GB RAM.
Final Cut Pro 7 has not evolved to handle these issues and therefore is no longer usable for many situations. So to clarify, FCP 7 is out of date and won't work in many situations.
Final Cut Pro X is missing too many features for many of us. You've seen the list I hope.

Is this being innovative and magical?
I understand that, but the old version is working fine for your production in the mean time. I don;t get the outrage.
The uselessness of FCPX had little to do with a tapeless workflow. It had more to do with it being designed for the one man show (a guy who shoots, edits, mixes audio, composits and does graphics all by himself). When you have teams of people working on projects, FCPX is useless. So you can be a ONE MAN SHOW professional but the typical Professional Production HOUSE can't use it. The flaw of FCPX has made the Professional Production HOUSE look seriously away from FCP regardless.
Actually, yes. A corporation as large as Apple correcting a mistaken early launch instead of trying to "marketeer" their way around it...
One thing I don't get is why put it back for sale?
Existing FCP studios already have it and its not like they've put out an upgrade.
Who would invest in a copy of FCP7 now?
What future is there in 7?

Man I cringe everytime someone posts that professionals need to accept a new workflow. The ignorance of such as comment is astounding. I learned FCP X over a weekend and can assure you I need FCP 7 to do real work. I love learning new things and am excited to see what Apple does with X, but anyone who thinks it can replace FCP is just daft..
