Final Cut Pro X - Opt-in or Opt-out?
Published: Saturday, August 06, 2011

If you look at some of the reactions to FCPX on the web anyone would imagine that Apple had just killed the golden goose and replaced it with a dysfunctional turkey. There were and still are shouts like "I want my tracks back" and "Where is my XML import capability from FCP 7 and my 'send to' Motion functionality?"

I believe that the decision to write off FCPX may well be a shortsighted and misguided call. FCPX is a totally new approach to the task of editing and one that I believe is far more 'fit for purpose' than its predecessor in a lot of critical ways.
