Always bring a little smile when I see updates and posts from MR about updates to the pro software. Very glad to see Apple still supporting it and improving it.
Yeah, I've bought about a dozen of those.I bet if and when they do release a new Mac Pro, it will be "the fastest Mac ever." Amazing.
...and still no worky with Xsan/Stornext or other SANs. "Pro" lololol.
Ok, great...Apple continues to create the ability to mix new movie files. Happy for you. Can you generate a proper EDL, Change List, Cut List, Optical Pull List, proper AAF for export to ProTools, proper programs to get your film/TV show ready for the DI? No? ...R-i-g-h-t. Any users out there that want to make a comment...if you have no idea what the hell it is I am talking about, then you have no reason to be posting a reply to my comment.
Sure...this program might work wonders for industrials or small video production houses...maybe wedding videos. And yes...there is maybe 1 program out there that has been publicized as using FCPX and their show is on cable TV. They also keep everything in house and self contained and it is their 1 show that they do.

Actual post houses? All moved/moving to Premiere Pro or back to AVID.
These don't work?

or just aren't the methodology/process you want to use ?
Still amazes me that Macs cannot play BluRay. I have to go to the TV to test the result (which is always a good thing to do).

Prosumer maybe. Homeworking freelancer maybe. Actual post houses? All moved/moving to Premiere Pro or back to AVID.
This is all great and fine. No Mac Pro update aside, the real problem is actually much bigger than just Final Cut. The real problem is the future of quicktime itself.
There is no future for Quicktime on Windows. Apple has discontinued it. There is no Quicktime X for Windows. So how will all the content generated from Apple products be delivered to non-apple platforms - e.g. the other 80% of the computing population? Do I really need to encode an H264 AVI and an H264 MOV going forward for every media file I want people to be able to watch?
And lets not even start about the cluster-F that is quicktimes color handling across platforms. Apple's insistence on not offering a mode where quicktime player doesn't touch color at all is infuriating when you are trying to deliver content to a wide audience. Quicktime puts a wash over the whole thing, and there is no silver bullet fix. So then you get things like the Blend/Straight Alpha workaround, which introduces aliasing in full screen mode, so now your color is better - no perfect - but your content looks terrible.
If Apple is serious about catering to professionals they have a lot of cleaning house to do. At this point they are the cusp of complete abandonment.
I'm not buying this until they support 1080p 60FPS AVCHD. Adobe Premiere supports it.

Too late...most pros have already gone back to Windows. And without pro hardware, no one is going to switch back to Mac again.
