I hope a similar upgrade for aperture is in the works.
The new final cut looks really nice.. Unfortunately no matter what Apple does with it people will bitch. If they don't add enough features then "Apple doesn't care about the pro users" and if they don't streamline any features then "Apple has bloated software."
As always though, a poor artist blames his tools.

Why are you mad about paying $400 instead of $600? (Or $900, or $1,200)
Because some people are never happy, is why.

Yeah....
Add me to the list of users that will stick with FCP7 for now. While FCPX appears to be streamlined, it seems that the streamlining is by taking away a lot of the depth and functionality of FCP and gearing more towards the simplicity of iMovie.
I like simplicity. I do. But Apple needs to realize that not everything under the sun has to be designed for the casual user.

Ran into this this morning during first tests. Its a must that I work with duplicated files. Of course this is due to the fact that I cant edit an R3D :) Converting to ProRes (HQ) in REDCineX is freakin fast on a 12core macpro :)
Well that is a workflow, but than you are stuck with ProRes if using X since there is no EDL to online the files. In FCP 7 you EDL it out an someone does the final online comp in Flame, Smoke, Nuke or software of their choice.
Last year I discovered premiere,, sure converting on a 12 core is fast, but not having to convert and playing 2k files at full speed in premiere is even better, with full raw controls. In the end you have a master file you can output to DPX for color editing and doesn't need an online process.
Final Cut 7 was a solid product from Apple Computer.
Final Cut X is a solid software product from a phone company. It will be big and popular, but removed itself from the pro market. The editing forums are ablaze now, because a lot of people waited for this, and now it can't work in a production workflow, and apple is not a company that gives you a road map of what will happen.

As a colorist, I can't believe they discontinued Color. The "key features" moved over to Final Cut Pro is not a replacement. Looks like it's back to DaVinci for us.

I'm not an editor, and even I knew that it was missing features. How can "you" as an editor not know what I do? There were articles posted on this website. Larry Jordan did a 2 hour interview which you could watch for free explaining all the missing stuff and how it won't be ready. All this happened since the April preview.
Apparently I didn't get the memo. I check this site daily and never saw anything about Final Cut Pro X being incomplete at launch time.I find it really odd that you can import/open iMovie projects but not FCP 7 projects... really messed up.
I think that speaks volumes about where their priorities are.

This thread has been spirally downward for hours, ever since all the self-professed "professional" editors started chiming in with all their "professional" complaints... after LESS than one day of release!
What a joke of a thread, I'm bailing - enjoy the never ending rhetoric and futility of it all. I'll come back when something new occurs...
Given that you don't contribute much besides "Nah nah nah... Apple does no wrong", not really sure anyone cares?
