What the guy who lead the FCP revolution thinks about FCP X

Interesting take on all this - that Apple could (and might still) avoid this angst by simply calling this an entirely different product - and supporting FCP7 until FCPX can at least do what the previous version did.

DVCreators.net leader on FCP X - a dispassionate response

And here's Michael Wohl's take, if you can excuse the overenthusiastic interviewer. He was on that original FCP team too. It gets good about halfway down.

and here's Conan O'Bryan's team -

the Führer isn't happy with FCP X




Fuhrer dislikes FCP X

i think his response was quite restrained. considering our lovely editing software has been raped beyond recognition and left for dead, quite a reasonable response, reserved even

premier/avid all day long from here on out. bar one tower and a laptop i'll be using with v7 for as long as possible.

Come down guys, just watch this

This has officially become a major, mainstream embarrassment to Apple...





Granted, at this point, it's starting to become an excuse by non-editors to just bash Apple... but if it forces Steve Jobs' hand in fixing this situation, I'm for it.

Oh, and if that isn't enough, watch this NOT IRONIC video about who FCPX is for... made by the guy (David Pogue) who is clearly in Apple's pocket. In other words, this is exactly what Steve Jobs/Randy Ubilos wanted to put out there (before the s--- hit the fan).

I WARN YOU. You WILL want to vomit. It's like a nightmare...

Well, that proves it to me. Just like with Shake back then. We've been trashed.

Wow, the Pogue video just raised my blood pressure by at least 30 points. Talk about insult to injury. Wow.

All the best,

It keeps going back to "The Reddest Village in China". Is there a message in there that we need to see?

You'll see the correct video to the right.

You won't thank me when you do see it.

The Hitler video apparently touched a nerve at Apple. I got the following email after posting a link to it on the FCPX discussions at Apple. Of course there are by now dozens of "off topic" discussions on the Apple forums re the release of FCPX. I wonder if all these will also be deleted?

Dear Peter,

Apple removed your post titled, "Herr Hitler Won't be Getting FCP X," because it contained the following:

The Hitler piece is hilarious. ROFL kind of hilarious. You see what an editor can do, when they let loose their creativity? (I wonder what platform it was put together on? Do I see Avid's SubCap feature there?

I did think that the Conan piece was notable only in that it put editors on camera. Holy Moley! When has that ever happened? We're famous for a day. Or half a day. Or a few minutes.

As far as its content -- way too inside baseball, and you could say the same thing about every other platform as well. Did you notice the audience couldn't figure out when to laugh?

Oh well, at least we're getting tons of jokes as a result of this release. Do you think Jobs will come out at the next big Supermeet and slam FCP X like he did Mobile Me at WWDC?

Seriously though, I'm just going to wait for the dot one version, like I nearly always do on software, and then try it out - but probably not on any big projects at first.

Sorry guys...gonna merge all the threads with Conan or Hitler in them. It's getting boring already.

When life gives you dilemmas...make dilemmanade.

Let me add my little contribution to the video thread.
