We’ve been FCP since v3 (Not Final Cut Studio 3, Final Cut Pro 3 circa 2001) and I would have more use for FCP 3 at this point than FCPX.

FCPX’s lack of Deck control, external video card support and not working at standard frame rates (using 1/100ths of a sec instead) are basically deal breakers.

We’ll probably check it out to see how “magical” it is, but I would guess it will be at least a year before they get this new software up to the usability of FCP7 (if at all).

I think this is a good day to be Avid and Adobe

A decent reel speaks volumes more than be able to do basic edits in Final Cut.

FCPX can’t open FCP7 files, no XML, No 3rd party plugins… Tons of limitations right out the gate. http://forums.creativecow.net/finalcutprox
