Apple Releases Major Update and Free Trial for Final Cut Pro X

Perhaps the increase in specs was a result of Apple discovering that it "crashed a lot" with the older graphics cards. The new requirements give greater reliability.
The trial version isn't available on the App Store but must be downloaded from the vendor's (Apple) website. Same as with other programs in the App Store that have trial versions.
Not available
Motion and Compresser updates are available.
The Final Cut Pro update is not available to me.

Sounds like it was a bug. When FCP 10 launched I remember reading that a lot of people were able to install it even though their GFX card was on the not supported list. Contact Apple for a refund. Or just wait and see if someone finds a work around for it.
If you get made fun of by a mainstream talk show then I think you've left the 'blip' area and moved on to bigger pastures.
Antenna-gate seemed like a run-of-the-mill product defect situation but the whole launch of FCP 10, starting w/the last minute preview at NAB, was just so filled with mistakes and very un-Apple in its clumsiness that, IMO, it's one of their worst product launches ever.

For the third time, the trial is only available off Apple's website, not the app store itself.
Can't Update? Try This.
I found this way to install the update somewhere, and it worked.
Put your FCPX in a folder and place the folder in the trash. Go to FCPX in the App Store and click install. It will install the new FCPX with the Update. Then you can throw away the old FCPX. All the projects, preferences, etc., will remain in tact.

No need to put FCPX into a folder first. Just trash it straight away and update via clicking on "install".
What happened to XML importing being a 3rd party program? Isn't that what Apple said when they released FCPX?

It's getting there...it's slowly getting there.
I know right. Another 24 months and it might nearly be as capable as FCP 7.
What a great upgrade.
I believe that you are correct.
I guess they just had to do something to show progress while the world waits for the big stuff to get unremoved.
That hasn't changed, AFAIK. I think Apple has just opened the door to allow third parties to start working w/FCP 10 XMLs.

I had these problems also...you have to delete the app, then go to the Mac app store purchased tab and redownload which will be the newer version.
just tried FCP X for first time
just spent my first few hours with fcp x.
having used fcp since 2.0, i find it hard to believe that fcpx is actually called fcp at all.
i would have loved a modernization of the original program: 64-bit computing/use all cores/use all ram.

It's safe to say we are all emotional, especially in regards to what we love.
Love this post, by the way.
Put your FCPX in a folder and place the folder in the trash. Empty the trash and take up the Avid or Premier Pro switch-grade offer. If you've been forced into a deep and costly new learning curve, it might as well be one with a long-term future.
I Learned Something New Today
Thanks for this information.
I would never have thought of doing as you suggested. I was wondering why the application was showing as being available for "install" but when I tried it advised me that it was already installed.

I had to reread that line about 'no multicam editing until next year'. They released this thing and it's clear it's half baked.
A workaround I use is to select the portion I want to export, create a compound clip, open that, then export. in and out points would be better.
Also means apple's gay

Let's stop this **** NOW!!! let's just say pro or not - it might not work for us. Mostly pros hate it but there are some who do and there are also some who can never understand where the pros are coming from.

editornyc,
I tried using Avid, but it's so ugly that I couldn't get over it. It looks like a PC program from the 80s. With design that bad I just wanted to vomit all over my keyboard.
