More Final Cut Pro X Screenshots Leak Ahead of Release

I'm not very familiar with video editing software. What is that green, feathery window in the screenshots? Looks like it's related to color adjustment, but I can't figure out what it represents.

It's to monitor the waveforms :)
 
My main questions are:

1- Will it come with compressor?
2- Will it come with Qmaster?
3- Can I buy a boxed version?

If the answer to any of these is no then I have no interest in buying it

Why can't you just buy it online at the App Store and buy the manuals somewhere else, like Amazon? If people are buying Final Cut Pro X, I imagine they would know if they needed a manual.

Users Guide, Reference Guide, and Getting Started. That would add another $100 at least.

Supporting it in any fashion gives it validation as a format, and it's pretty clear that SJ is just too much of a stick in the mud about the issue. This comes down entirely to business and the competition of the format with iTunes, so unfortunately I don't see Apple's tune changing. I'm in the same boat that you are, sadly. Now that the price of Blu-ray players are plummeting demand is going way up, so it's incredibly frustrating that Apple is just dragging their feet on this.

Even that "optical media is dead" crowd isn't brainwashed enough to claim that professional high-end video editing software should not support BD.

$300 to edit some youtube videos? (I laugh haha)

Eyes will be rolled quite impressively at Apple if FCPX does not support BD. Then why bother with the release at all? Well... actually that might explain the FinalCut Express price point.

This may not be a professional application.

BR support isn't built into the editing application, it's usually handled by another program. FCP7 doesn't burn discs, but DVD Studio Pro does. Neither does AVID directly, thats handled by AVID DVD. So your argument makes no sense.

The quality of FCPX as an editing platform has nothing to do with optical disc support.
 
This seems like a great beginner/intermediate program for all who could not afford final cut pro and have a taste for editing video etc. I'm thinking it may also bring Final cut express down in price and to the Mac App store.

Except that FCP 7 does create DVD, blu-ray, and avchd discs directly from the app via the file>share command. Simple menus and options albeit. But it does. If you have a bluray burner installed it will burn bluray. Otherwise it's DVD or AVCHD.

There are some big questions about certain functions remaining in X from FCS studio, or whether a studio will continue to exist. But the editing capabilities and power of x has been demonstrated to be much more powerful and advanced over FCP 7, Avid, and Premiere. Just go watch the sneak peek. The major worry is over support of professional anticilliary functions and apps. We'll know soon.

That's reaching a bit. It might be more powerful in some cases, and less in others. Ultimately, until people can get their hands on it people can't attest to the quality of the workflow one way or the other. The only thing people can say with any certainty now is that it's different. Some people will assume that means "not pro". And those people would be stupid to make that assumption until it's released.

People have made a lot of the iMovie similarities, but the truth is FCPX has been in development for years, so it's more likely that iMovie is FCPX-lite, rather than the other way around.

You are correct, sir. Shows how many discs I burn.

I have a few here collecting dust. I dont think Ive ever used one. Its in the Man pages ;)
 
Ugh, from these screenshots, it looks like Final Cut Pro X is only capable of editing movies about Civil War reenactments. What a ripoff!

No no, I know all there is to know. Hmm...way to many "no's" there. :D

Anyway, I mean publicly. There's not even any mention of FCPX anywhere on Apple's website. Sure have enough coverage of IOS5 and Lion which aren't out yet, but nothing about FCPX.

Sure, you and I may know what "Supermeet" and NAB are, but if you didn't belong to some message board that covers this stuff, you'd never even know FCPX was even coming out.

If you don't know what supermeet and nab are is fcpx really a product you fretting about? Not really.
 
Audio Next

I would assume now we'll see leaked images of FCP doing some mysterious audio work on some specific soundtrack this week to continue the anticipation fervor, with a release the following week. Oh Apple you evil genius'. :rolleyes:
 
Helvetica font used makes the app look like it was designed by Microsoft. Font is too compressed doesn't look like a Cocoa App.
