Than call it by the name the creator gave it. FYI it is Final Cut Studio. do not make stuff up. if you want to make stuff up write a movie.
If the creator is stupid, should we be also?
If it would have been unnamed, should we now talk about software suite called " "?

Btw, do you like Prince's music?
OHH, sorry, I meant "TheArtistFormelyKnownAsPrince".
Let's try to keep things right...
 
Scarlet has always been a high end camera but at a presumer's price point. that camera should be selling for a lot more. the thing is, the more you are offered at a lowest price the more you want. I can almost bet that if jim would have said everything he said except the price (instead said Affordable) and announce the prices before shipping. starting at 20k they would still sell a bunch.
Talking about semantics here; 20k camera should not be called prosumer, when all other prosumer cameras are less than half of it.
 
Just Curious. What pirates and the rest have to do with the subject?

Without the lifelong habits thieving pirate kids developed stealing 24/7, downloads would never have taken hold so quickly.

Jobs has exploited piracy in the past (early adoption of the iPod and a general corporate unspoken policy that content should be free, at least until they came up with the iTunes store and became resellers), and I'm also tired of paying full price for software to subsidize thieves. Not tired enough to join them however.

:apple:

The same could be said of your referral to "Blu-Ray" as Blue-Ray.
 
Calling Names ahh??

are you calling Apple Stupid? than why are you buying from them? you should not do so otherwise you might fall in the same category.
 
You know it is a Typo

Are you playing opossum?
you know it was a typo and you also know there is no comparison. I did not make it up, I misspell it.
 
Last time I checked I can't read minds; And if you want to play the part of the "Pedantic Police" don't be offended when you're knocked off your soapbox.
 
I will give you that one 100%

Talking about semantics here; 20k camera should not be called prosumer, when all other prosumer cameras are less than half of it.

I was going for the comparison of a 240k camera to a 20k the latter is or seems prosumer. But yeah My Bad.
 
Yes you can Read Minds ! !

You Read Stevo's mind he thought to Put the #3 after Studio but he forgot. so you are doing it for him every time you refer to it.
and no I am not offended.

I guess that part of "reading minds" went right over your head. :rolleyes:

They make mistakes like everybody else, they just don't admit it.
I buy from them because I like OsX much more than windows and although FCP could be a whole lot better than it has been for many years, it is still usable and everybody else uses it.
I just wish that OsX would be separated from iApple, and then would be developed without iApple's constraints.
 
Same here

same here but I think that is highly unlikely.
what stevo needs to do ir hire more engineers. it is not like he is starving for cash.

or not. More doesn't always mean better. As the saying goes 'too many cooks. . ."

If they have the right engineers on the job it is possible that a small group is better than a large one.

Depending on what they are trying to achieve, it could be merely that it is a complex issue that takes time and testing. These are Pro Apps, the stakes are much higher. They will be pushed even harder to get things as close to perfect as they can before it goes public.

And it's not like the current versions are total *****. They are functioning and there are functioning ways around the issues. Numerous production companies, studios etc have been fine dealing with said issues so far and may very well keep dealing until the new versions are out. Even if that's another two years.
 
How much time would you give them? 5-6 Years???

Are you naive or just playing it? nor apple nor any other software company I know has released a "perfect" version of anything. you probably did not know but people whom has work for apple say that apple operates as a startup company. keeping teams small and rotating them where they are needed to finish the project with most priority. and as fas as I can tell (based on actions of neglect towards pro user) FCS is at the bottom of the priority list.
Current versions are working yes... but they are limiting in a lot of ways in regards to new tech. ei: can you author a fully functioning Blu-Ray as you would a DVD in DVDSPro?, Can you work natively with most formats out there?. is FCS 64 bit? (now that is Shameful). I could go on and on but you get the pint. you are a smart guy. I presume.
By now they have had almost 4 years to get Final Cut Studio 3 Ready and what do we get? Mediocre updates that should have been free.

I am neither naive or playing it. But what I am is someone that can see that your reading skills need some work. I said "as close to perfect as they can" which is a very different statement from what you tried to put in my mouth.

And I know quite a bit about how Apple works. I also am smart enough not to use every action or inaction as an excuse to bash Apple as stupid, failing, neglectful etc. Unlike you, who seems ready to bash Apple for everything. Well everything that isn't exactly what, when and how you would do it.
 
Stupid is not one of my words.

Upfront and in you face I Am but Vulgar I am NOT.
St^!d is a word I have not used in this forum. so do not make stuff up. the other words Yes because in my "opinion" they have validity. Speaking up is not bashing. I am just saying it like I see it. Listen and you might learn something. It has been about 6 years since DVDSPRO got any real features. do you call bashing apple when I speak up or say they lack interest?. get out of here You apple funboy.
I am starting to think you do not even use FCS. if you did, you had noticed about DVDSPRO not being able to handle Blu-Ray, FCP lacking Playback R3D, chocking when all the pallets are Open specially when the audio waveform is enabled... on and on. So in my book based on your arguments you are nothing but an impostor, just plain blind or an apple Fanatic.
If you do not have a well funded argument I could learn from I sugest you refrain yourself from posting because I will just ignore what you have to say.

Thank you Very much. Mac Russian User.
 
NO FCS update :eek: ; I am planning to buy FCS in the next few months. Now, I am really disappointed to hear it won't be updated soon.

So shall we look at the alternative? :confused:
 
Well, speaking as a professional editor, Final Cut is falling behind extremely quickly at this point. FCP 7 was a minimal update and the reality is we're working with a tool that is nearly 5 years old in an industry that changes as rapidly as any other technology-driven industry. The current state of Final Cut is fast-approaching the point of obsolescence and when you compare it to the latest version of Avid or Premiere Pro CS5 the only logical thing to do is start wondering if/when you're going to have to make a switch if there isn't a major update to the FCP suite. I'm sure there are many people out there who can and will make due with FCP as is for some time to come, but for those of us working at the professional level it's unrealistic to continue relying on a tool that is becoming more outdated every day with no idea (save some vague promisees of "awesome"-ness) if or when it will be given the treatment it needs to, at this point, just catch up with its competitors let alone be cutting-edge. I've already made the decision that if there is no announcement of a major FCS overhaul by NAB 2011 my company will be switching to Premiere Pro by the end of 2011. I wish it could be Avid but it's just cost-prohibitive for us right now.

Mr. Jobs can't hear you or the rest of the company heads who will be leaving the Apple platform, permanently and very soon.

He's busy meditating on his next portable cheap fad iToy for his LCD iKiddies.
