I'm not sure. FCPX seems to have failed with the way the product was launched, not the actual product. It misses a lot of pro features and is probably very buggy. That's ok for a first version product to a certain extent, especially if they would have made it clear that it's not in it's final version. But I think the biggest fail is that FCP7 can't be purchased any more and there is no way to import projects from FCP7 to FCPX. So you can't buy a fully featured video editing software from Apple and if you have some stuff in FCP7 it's pretty much stuck there.Looking at what Apple just did to FCPX, anybody think they're gonna do something similar to the next release of Logic?
After all, Logic and FCP are like brothers - both of them are Apple's flagship pro software, just in different markets.
Thoughts? Worries?
I think it kind of blew out of proportion and Apple is being an idiot not to bring back FCP7 for a transition period, especially the way the answer their FAQ on their website, it's obviously not ready for prime time.
But, the big reason for this is because FCP was rewritten completely from Carbon to Cocoa and with a new workflow.
I don't think Apple would be stupid enough to pull the same prank twice and I think we are much less likely to see an app that is completely new with Logic. Logic is already in Cocoa 64bit and I don't really see how they could completely change the workflow.
