Comment on Top 70+ Requests for Final Cut Pro X 10.0.4 by Steve

The simple answer is, many do still keep using it – unless they have jumped to another NLE.
I still use legacy FCP7 for most of my broadcast work but when i get the chance, i play with FCPX on small, none critical projects.
Many of the missing features are back now, in one form or another but it’s the content/metadata management and lack of more than one sequence per project that i can’t yet integrate within existing projects as many are long running tv shows with established workflows that would be hell to mess with.
Plus i really miss the seperate viewer for match framing and checking continuity.

Because you can’t buy new copies of it, and if you have to add new machines to a job (which happens quite a lot by the way) then you’re screwed.

The old version had lots wrong with it too. It was getting quite dated in terms of performance

The thing that puzzles me is if the previous version had all these wonderful features why don’t they keep using it until Apple or Adobe builds something actually betters.

Comment on This Nonsense Has To Stop by Kahuna

I had pre-ordered the the new iPad and it was delivered yesterday. I ignored everything else to marvel at Apple’s latest magical device. And it really is magical.

I already had the 4th generation iPod touch with Retina Display and it served as an inducement for me to get the new iPad. One would expect on a device as tiny as the touch as the touch that the pixels would be small, but on the new iPad the effect is jaw-dropping. The smallest text is razor-sharp and readable, as if it had been on a printed page.

After several hours, the battery was still going strong. I had surfed the net, done emails, watched Youtube….and there was no noticeable heat. None at all.

There will always be those who will target Apple with criticism because it didn’t produce a product that met their “expectations.” What, no holographic projections? No self-charging atomic battery?

Maybe next year.

Now here is _my_ criticism. The new iPad spoils you. You can never look at another screen without realizing that it is old technology. Suddenly, my two year-old iMac seemed…less.

So here is my demand to Apple: I want a new 27″ iMac with Retina Display.

And I want it next year.
