One of the promises Apple made at the launch of Final Cut Pro X was that they would be updating it rapidly. Personally, I think the launch was terrible, but that FCP X is quite good. So, in thinking about Final Cut Pro X today, you need to separate in your mind your reactions to the launch from your perception of the product. The reaction was swift, bitter, and emotional and instantly colored everyone’s perception of Final Cut Pro X. Not all the software in Final Cut Studio was replaced, Soundtrack Pro, DVD Studio Pro, and Color were gone.There was not feature parity between FCP X and FCP 7.FCP X could not read FCP 7 files, so there was no upgrade path for current FCP 7 projects.But, in this case, there were three missing elements: Normally, when new versions come out, old versions die. In the launch, Apple introduced Final Cut Pro X, and killed the entire Final Cut Studio suite and Final Cut Server.
The Final Cut Pro X launch was not one of Apple’s best. But this is asking the wrong question.Ī much better question is: “Why should I consider using Final Cut Pro X?” This blog is designed to help you answer that question, from my perspective as a trainer, editor, and businessman. Editors have been making money with FCP X since the first week it shipped. Sigh… Right now! Final Cut Pro X is ready for professional use today. Of all the questions I am asked each day, this is the most popular: “When will Final Cut Pro X be ready for professional use?”
