I listened to the podcast and the 5 minutes of the blah blah blah. I think that this is more of a prosumer app not not a pro app. Yes there are some great features that some might like, but honestly it didn't seem to really wow me enough to switch from fcp7 to x. Some of the new things it can do like syncing audio I can do in seconds anyhow, but the colour correcting with multi cameras is pretty cool, but again we use the same cameras that are all synced up as far as settings and colours, so I don't need a new program for this.

 

Its an over glorified imovie with a very busy interface which seems confusing. I honestly wouldn't use this yet for a while, still too new of an app to use, let them work the bugs out first and let the guys from the mac discussion boards wrap their heads around it for a while. Nothing worse then having a deadline on a video and not having anyone help you trouble shoot issues that might incur. Just my thoughts.

Yeah...I'm not too excited about it.  I think it's good for beginners and prosumers but not for high end needs.  I'm actually thinking about switching to Premiere, but will wait until I know more details.  I'm sure I'll get FCPX and it will work for some videos, but not for all the things I use FCP for.  I'm a little disappointed for my own needs but see why they changed it.

you know the old saying Jeff, if its not broken don't fix it. Stay with what works. I will never use a new program as soon as it comes out, sure its cool to say that you have the latest version, but when something goes wrong no one can help you trouble shoot it yet. Just an idea.
