OT: "FCPX 1.0 will not be ready for professional use" ~ Larry Jordan....

[www.fcp.co]

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

I think people are overreacting a little. Larry said something that went without saying: don't bet your livelihood on a 1.0 release.

However, the people on the beta are on the beta because they have a relationship with Apple and they're not going to come out and say anything bad that could sour that relationship. I would be interested to hear Larry's private opinion of FCPX, which may not be the same as his public one.

My software:
Pro Maintenance Tools - Tools to keep Final Cut Studio, Final Cut Pro X, Avid Media Composer and Adobe Premiere Pro running smoothly and fix problems when they arise
Pro Media Tools - Edit QuickTime chapters and metadata, detect gamma shifts, edit markers, watch renders and more
More tools...

This was taped backed in April at lafcpug. Sheeesh. Talk about out of context headline.

Yeah no kidding. This was just blasted on Facebook. Folks need to relax and stop with all the speculation. It's really silly. It's not like the Vancouver Canucks just losing the Stanley Cup Playoffs and setting fire to cars in the streets (check this out...)

Ah those crazy Canadians...thought they were a peaceful lot...

Before this thread gets stupid and everyone begins posting about what Larry REALLY meant or something, Larry instead has responded in his blog.

Good stuff Mike. Thanks Larry.

I also think it's pointless to start a new thread when "Still Pro" is already a mile long and heading for record books. I think we should stick to it and bring up more useless info on THAT thread. I've done my part ;-)

...too long IMHO. Only a speculation thread could get so long. Time to break away from it. When FCPX is released in a week or 2, hopefully Mike will delete the rubbish FCPX spec threads anyway.

Going to create the FCPX forum tonight. Going to move the long thread over there. All long threads get a bit silly but this one is good for historical perspective. So....

Hey it was hockey fans.

Who brings moltov cocktails to a hockey game.
Very few people caused a lot of damage.

The only thing sillier than rumor forums is picking apart plain obvious statements. Anyone who relies on dot zero releases for their business is insane. As Larry said "I want your clients."

Maybe by next week we can turn this forum into a real discussion.

Whoops, and now I've contributed to the madness. My apologies.
