The crew at Mediastorm are flatly not recommending people work in #Apple Final Cut Pro X at this stage… and revert to previous FCP versions or find another editing option.
This is a real disaster for Apple… think about how many major production houses will be seriously considering moving away from FCP as their platform.
I have to say – I worked in FCP X for the first time this week while tutoring multimedia production on The Jack Picone Photography Workshops here in Kathmandu, Nepal. It is very, very fast and provides a real ‘in’ for those who haven’t used the suite before in its ease of use. But… these changes seem to have really dumbed down FCP and if the unreliability Mediastorm are reporting is anything to go by, there’s no way I’d trust it.
I will be sticking with FCP 7 for now and keeping my distance from FCP X.
