FCP X --Replacement for Current version of FCP???

I am getting the feel that FCP X is a FC express replacement and not a replacement for the true Professional Suite of products.
Am I wrong???
I am using FCP version 6 now on a 2 year old IMAC 23". (Intel I-5) 4 gig ram
Thanks

Apple lifted the Prosumer market up, it didn't lower the Final Cut Standards. I think...time will tell.
Yeah, I kinda don't see that. Did the availability of inexpensive word processing give rise to hundreds of new Hemingways or Bukowskis or Vonneguts?  Did the unavailability of desktop video deny us Lynch or Almodovar or Soderburgh or Tarantino? The tool isn't what makes the content great.
If FCP-X lacks Pro features like EDL support, tape deck control (but tape is dead! not), no track assignments, no OMF support, no XML support, no proxy edit support (offline/online workflow), questionable Plugin support... it is doomed in the professional world.
Sure, consumers will have gotten a great tool for taking their DSLR cameras and putting something pretty on YouTube or Vimeo... but all those silly pro features I listed above? Those are all critical for producing broadcast television.
If the June release lacks those features, it no longer has the right to be called Final Cut Pro - Final Cut X(press) maybe, but not pro. I'm sure it'll be fine for wedding videos and other end-to-end video production. But Apple won't be able to brag that the next Coen Brother's film was cut with it. You won't see nationally broadcast television commercials edited with it. Nor will it take hold in episodic TV.
Yes, whole industries may change... back to Avid that is.
I hope I'm wrong.

  • Does the symbol server work for current version?

    I followed the "Using the Mozilla symbol server" article in order to see symbols for Firefox in a debugger. But i still only get those "firefox.exe+1a05" entries, instead of "firefox.exe+Sleep" for example. All windows symbols work, but I never got any Firefox symbols to show up. My idea now is that the Mozilla symbol server is not up to date. Can someone help me?

    Hehe thats the "Using-the-Mozilla-symbol-server-article" I mentioned in my post. It only explains how to add the symbol server to search path; which is working for me. But the mozilla server seem to not have symbols for the current version of firefox.exe, THAT is my problem.

  • How do I manuallly download the latest version of Firefox on top of my current version?

    I have an iMac version 10.7.5. I'm currently running Firefox Version 14 and I keep getting prompts to allow automatic updating (currently to version 17). However, when the prompt says "connecting to the update server," it never connects. So my questions are:
    a.) Is there a way to correct this problem so that I can automatically update?
    b.) If not, how do I update manually (I've found the Mozilla site's explanations incomplete/confusing.) Can I just download the latest version and it'll configure to what I already have, or do I need to delete my current version and reinstall completely? And what will happen to my settings (e.g. bookmarks) if I update on top of my current version, or update by completely replacing the current version?

    If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the disk image (dmg) file to the desktop
    *Firefox 17.0.1: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    *Trash the current Firefox application (e.g. open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re-)install
    *Install the new version that you have downloaded
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Mac
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data if you uninstall and (re)install Firefox.

  • Linked Documents to BOM: Current version/All versions

    Hi,
    I am talking about the screen that is obtained in ECC6 after executing CS03 , Go to Header Level and select the tab Doc.assignment.This shows Linked Documents ( Current version and All versions)
    I have linked three released versions of a Document Info Record ( AA,AB and AC) with change number to the BOM by navigating to the screen listed above and saved the BOM.But I dont see any Linked documents, if I click on "Current version" in the same screen.However "All versions" shows all the three versions of this DIR.The DIR also shows the linked BOM in Cv03n for all three versions.
    I have tried linking these three versions to the material, and the "current version" in the additional data tab ( basic data view) - document data tab rightly shows the latest version AC and All versions shows all three AA,AB and AC.
    1.Is there any activation to be done for current version in BOM as mentioned in above screen?
    2.The version is released with change number and is valid on todays date , what might be other possible reasons current version doesnt show up any DIRS for the BOM?
    Regards,
    Prasad

    Hi Christoph.
    The SAP system we are using already has corrections of note 974270 as it is on higher version.
    I have checked the documentation in the links you have sent and made sure that the settings for screens are fine.
    I tried to execute couple of scenarios to check the logic for "Current version".
    Scenario:1 : Two DIRS with out change number and not released
    I see that there are no versions displayed in "Current version" tab( in CS03 tcode)  for a simple test case where i created two DIRS with out change numbers, both of them not released.As per documentation in link, it should display the latest version in such scenario,
    Scenario 2: Three released versions with valid change number.
    For another test case , though three versions are released( AA, AB And AC) and change numbers are still valid, the current version still shows older version of "AA".( in CS03 tcode)
    Please help if there is something else that I can check to proceed further.
    Regards
    Prasad

  • How to use time machine to replace the current iMovie for one a few weeks ago?

    I have a movie in iMovie that somehow became unusable.  The size says it is 10GB when it should only be about 1GB.  I have been to the Genius Bar for a total of 4 hours and the only solution we can find is to REMAKE the entire movie.  They say that one or more of my movie clips must have imbedded data that it shutting the whole iMovie program down.  They say there is no way to know which clip is causing the problem.  I really don't want to remake the entire 2 hour movie.  I tried to use time machine and found my movie from about 3 weeks ago (before it ballooned to 10GB--so I guess before I added the bad clip) and I just wanted to replace my current one with this version and just fill in the last 3 weeks of data.  However I can't seem to do this.  Does anyone know how to do this using iMovie '08?

    You don't do it with iMovie, but with Time Machine.
    Quit iMovie, then locate and select the file you want to restore in your backups via the "Star Wars" display and click the Restore button.  See #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

  • How do I replace 32-bit Firefox 3.6 with a 64-bit "current version"?

    Since my computer is a 64-bit system, I want to replace as much 32-bit software with 64-bit compilations and, as much as I can, abandon executables that can't be replaced.
    Assuming that Mozilla has released a 64-bit compilation of Firefox, how do I identify it and obtain it?
    "Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe" doesn't tell me whether it installs 32-bit or 64-bit instead. The automagic Firefox Update sometimes wants to replace the 32-bit version 3.6 with a 32-bit "current version" that is not an actual update to 3.6.
    One reason that I have continued running version 3.6 is that there is no compelling reason to replace an installed 32-bit application with some "upgrade" of the same 32-bit application on this computer. In fact, if Mozilla doesn't get off the dime and release a 64-bit compilation which it is willing to maintain, I will make the move the Chrome.

    At this point in development it looks like the earliest that Mozilla will have officially supported 64-bit Firefox releases (for Windows) will be Firefox 12.0.
    There is still a fair bit of work yet to do to get stable win 64-bit Firefox releases. If it was so easy, then there would have been 64-bit builds for Windows as early as Firefox 4.0. It was targeted for Firefox 8.0 originally (at end of June) then probably at 10.0 (mid August) and now they hope to get it done for 12.0.

  • Would a Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?

    I bought a Macbook Unibody back in 2010, and until now the system is still working perfectly fine, probably because I keep on updating my software version, currently I am on Mac OS X 10.8.2 (Mountain Lion)...I don't have issues with it.
    I bought this Macbook in Japan, the keyboard version is on Japanese (with US alphabets) becaue I was studying Kanji back then, and apparently I am now living here in the Philippines and some of my keyboard keys are lost and they were taken off by my naughty niece (LOL, couldn't blame her though... she's just 2 years old)... now I am looking for a replacement. I couldn't find Japanese version of Top Case replacements here in Manila... now I kinda realized I might as well use a US version moving forward.
    Now my question is re: Top Case keyboard replacement for Macbook Unibody A1342 (US version), would it be compatible w/my Macbook if originally it had a Japanese version?
    Thanks in advance for all the help & informations. I would really appreciate it before I buy a replacement.
    Have a good one guys! ^_^)Y

    but it has been dropped a bit.
    Translation - It has been dropped multiple times.
    All the problems are likely related. Better get it to an Apple service rep and be aware that any warranty does not cover abuse of the product.
