Has Apple completely dropped support for FCP 7 ?

My search of the Pro Software "support" already suggests the answer, but maybe I'm just too incredulous to believe it. OK, I get that they really like FCP X and want everyone to migrate to it, but man, have they even been reading their press?? So they are trying to force us to a very poor alpha release of the new world order, but what about the extensive community of users who've faithfully hung in with them through the development of the earlier versions?
Look, I really don't want to turn this into one of many rants about FCP x (lower case intended). I expect a lot of the problems we're reading about will eventually get fixed and when they do, I for one feel like I'll like it and will make the leap once they do.
What about all the demos, instructional videos, how-to advise and legacy community blog stuff for the substantial community who are waiting to see before jumping into a yet to be tested and proven new platform. If they wanted to bail on the pro community, they should have just admitted it and done so. I would have respected them for that. But this is just insulting...
Am I missing the FCP 7 Suite support or have I just encountered a big poke in the eye?

First, I guess I really did sound like a rant on FCP X - Sorry...
Second, I'm referring to the community discussions and application tutorials for FCS stuff to get through a basic use of a tool such as Motion, Color and to a much lesser extent, FCP 7. I'll check the link...
I only do rough cuts on bigger projects that I hand off to a real editor for finish out. I also do a lot of work for non-profits so where there is little budget available, they are stuck with me for cheap editing (lol)
thanks for your comments all, but Jason was most on target.

Why is Adobe dropping support for pre 3GS phones?!

I think it's a bad decision to drop support for pre 3GS devices. There are still many out there and if support is dropped we're forced to still use the old PFI to reach the complete audience.
It's clear that OpenGL ES 2 offers a lot more fancy stuff than OpenGL ES 1.5 does, but still, things like GPU_VECTOR or sophisticated blending are perfectly doable with OpenGL ES 1.5.
And if a clean implementation is really not possible, Adobe should at least allow to publish for old devices even if this means that not all optimization techniques can be used.
I develop iPhone apps using different technologies and AIR is attractive for me because I can target with one project a big range of different plattforms. If Adobe drops support for old phones, this advantage is heavily shortened!
What is your opinion on the this development?

Apple have dropped support for pre-3GS because to pull of the features and performance in iOS 4.3 they had to develop just for the ARM7 chip, and not for the ARM6. They probably have a good sense of the number of people that have the older devices, and think it's ok to not update the software on those devices.
The same may be true for Adobe.
I am trying to find out how to make AIR 2.6 and AIR 2.0 live together in Flash CS5. If I work it out I'll let you know.

I've been reading the comments re FCPX on MacBook Pro and now I'm scared. I'm taking a class now and thinking about buying to do videos for nonprofits. Won't be fancy stuff, but now wonder if it's a good choice. Also, heard Apple will drop support. Help?

While it is against the TOU of these boards to speculate on future products/updates what Thomas said is right: FCPX is quite a new product and it doesn't make any sense to drop it now.
The only thing that MIGHT get dropped at a certain point is support for older hardware/OS as FCP X progresses.

Firefox dropping support for optgroups?

It seems that Firefox 4 has dropped support for <optgroup> elements? Why would such a great web development browser do this? Also, the box model has changed with this release.
Not good guys.

Plugin are installed outside the control of Firefox and Firefox usually scan specific registry keys to find a specific plugin.
As long as MS makes a Silverlight plugin available for Firefox then you can use Silverlight in Firefox.

Dropped support for high-def dvd?

Does anyone know if Mavericks dropped support for the HD DVD format offered by Compressor 3?
A DVD authored with this format will not play on an iMac (2.4 Intel Core 2 Duo) running Mavericks, but will play on a Mac Pro (2x2Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xeon) running Mac OS 10.6.8. Other DVDs play fine on the iMac.
Thanks in advance for any information regarding this.

The CalDigit card is not rated to work on the NEWEST MacPros...the ones with different processors and other internal circuitry. It works fine on previous models. The big reason I suggest the Caldigit card over the rest is:
1) It is half the price with all the same features
2) It can be installed and removed by the customer. The Apple card can only be installed and removed by a certified Apple dealer.
Now, Raid 5 is good as it offers PROTECTION...where RAID 0 does not. If one drive dies, the RAID 5 still works. If the same happened to Raid 0, all info is lost...ALL. Raid 5 will lower the capacity of all the drives, as it uses one for this protection, where Raid 0 is larger. Give and take.
FYI...I cut DVCPRO HD and ProRes on internal drives...no raid. Firewire 800 drives are good for this format too. Raids are only needed for multiple streams of ProRes, and the uncompressed formats. And for protection.

Why does firefox drop support for a plugin with an update

Why the H*ll does Firefox drop support for a plugin when there is an update in Firefox.
FF4 has reported that 6 of my plugins that work fine in 3.6 are now not supported. !! This is a joke, and happens regularly.
As a user (a highly IT literate one) this is annoying and frustrating, and from a design standpoint, unprofessional.

Plugins as in Flash, Java, quicktime or such or do you mean Extensions ?
Plenty of Plugins seems to be detected and in use by Firefox 4.0 just fine according to your system details by your post.
If you meant Extensions then check for updates, look at addons.mozilla.org or the Extension homepage for to see if the author has provided a update.
Generally Extensions can need anywhere from a simple maxversion bump to a lot more for it to work properly on a new Major version of Firefox depending on what the Extension does.
It is professional actually as extensions that were not actually compatible may actually cause problems big or small if they were to still just ''work'' in a new Major version release so hence the need for them to be properly up to date on any changes and hopefully the extension author is quick about it.

ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet?

ACR 8.7 has been released with support for the Nkon D750. Why no Lightroom support yet? Am I wrong or was support for the D810 available far more quickly?

ACR 8.7 has not yet been released. The ACR 8.7RC has been released. It is a Release Candidate - and as such, is not a final version. I wouldn't be concerned about a lack of Lightroom support until a final version is released.

Macally drops support for Post-Op/iMedia FCP Keyboard on Intels

Though I doubt you can buy one anymore, and Post-Op the company I paid $180.00 to, no longer sells them, I thought I would post this info for those using it now, or finding an old one on e-bay.
PRODUCT: Post-Op EZ keyboard is just a repackaged Macally iMedia Key keyboard. You used the Macally iMedia software to program the custom button along the top, and you could program an eject button, which the new Mac Pros need, (though F12 would work for one optical bay). While the keys still work for input, without updated software you can't program the buttons now on Intel Tiger or Intel Leopard. I wrote them and this was the Christmas cheer message I received.
Dear Customer,
Thank you for contacting us.
I am sorry that we'll not have Intel Mac driver support for this keyboard.
For Eject, you may press and hold the F12 key for 1 second to open/close the CD tray.
If you have any question, please let me know. Wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,

AVI Support for FCP

I am a film major and I have been trying for weeks to edit an AVI file in FCP but it keeps telling me that there was an unknown file type. My friend has absolutely no problem editing AVIs in FCP. I can't figure it out. Is it because I have regular QuickTime? He doesn't think he has QuickTime Pro, so what am I doing wrong?
I tried to use Compressor to make the AVI into an H264, an mpeg-2, a DVNTSC... no luck with any of them. I've tried different types to make sure it's not an AVI, too. It keeps telling me that it can't convert. I don't understand why not, but it doesn't even seem to try once I submit. It just says that it can't convert within 10 seconds of submitting. I've tried everything I can think of, even AVI to mpeg and mov converters, but none of them work.
How do you get an AVI into FCP?

How do you get an AVI into FCP?
AVI is a container, not a format, and some formats can't be used in Mac OS X through any means. Installing Perian and MPEG Streamclip may enable its import or conversion to a format Final Cut Pro can handle.
QuickTime Pro doesn't add support for any additional movie formats; it provides editing capabilities.

CS4 drops support for databases?

I just got off a lengthy call with Dreamweaver tech support,
and they confirmed that there is no longer any support for database
connectivity using ASP.Net VB in the new CS4 version. The only
connectivity that is supported is through a Spry Dataset. The
technician said that this appears to be a security related issue
and that Adobe has no intentions of changing this.
Why would Adobe do this?
I have used Dreamweaver for many years, and this was one of
the strongest parts of the program, and the decision ends our
company’s use of any newer version of the product.

The dropping of support for ASP.NET was announced in August
2007, but
support for ASP, PHP and CF hasn't been dropped. The reason
for .NET to
be dropped isn't just security, its down to Adobe never being
able to
keep up with all the updates from Microsoft for .NET. They
just can't
compete with Microsoft's own products.
I am still on CS3, and don't have any plans to get CS4, as
the features
don't make a big enough difference for me, yet. So if you
need .NET
support, stick with CS3, but you will only be using getting
.NET v1.1 so
you will be far behind everyone else.

Support for FCP 4.1 on iMac (Latest)

I have successfully loaded FCP 4.1 but when I go to start it it tells me "AGP graphics card" is missing. Do I have to upgrade FCP? I hope not as my pocket is empty just now.

The man in the apple store quite explicitly stated that my machine was the right one for FCP so heads are going to roll.
Just to check, did you tell him that you wanted to run Final Cut Pro 4? Or did you just ask about "Final Cut Pro" without specifying a version? I ask because your iMac will indeed run Final Cut Pro 5.1 or the new Final Cut Pro 6 (from Final Cut Studio 2), but FCP 5.0 and earlier are not supported on the Intel-based Macs at all. If you did indeed say FCP 4 when you asked, then you have a legitimate beef with the guy in the Store. But if you just asked about "Final Cut", then what he told you was correct, if not covering all possible cases.

Has Apple completely dropped support for FCP 7 ?
