NEW FCP is 4k and only $299

Does anyone actually know for sure that the viewer is axed? Or is everyone just wildly jumping to conclusions because they can't see it in the blurry photograph.

May be part of the program they didn't show. Most pro applications do allow for some level of customization in the UI, hopefully it's something as simple as checking "viewer" in the window menu...

I haven't really seen enough to truly know how I feel about it, but I'm definitely not happy with the fact that the viewer is gone.

The question is what have they decided to replace its functionality with.

Maybe there is an upcoming interface more like Quantel, Smoke or maybe there is something new.

Look ... there are a lot of people complaining about the iMovie like appearance and functionality. Well I tried iMovie recently, its pretty cool and a lot of fun to use. Of course its limiting in terms of what you can do ... but its cool - even fun to use, so long as what you want to do fits in its limitations.

I don't think that suddenly Final Cut Pro is suddenly going to have all the inane limitations of iMovie - in fact Apple sort of demonstrated that they had the toolset that covers a lot of what editors do.

Just as "Window Layouts" in FCP7.

Unlimited menory!!!! Lol

Thanks Marky ; )

Has potential... I'm just hoping that it does floating-point bit depth for colour grading. The "One-click-shot-to-shot balancing" seems like it could be amazing; hopefully you can just select two matching colours (say, the same shirt) from shot to shot and then it balances the entire thing.

PLEASE! Tell me more! How does FCPX make you feeeeeeel? It seems like the UI is making you angry, are you currently prescribed anything to help control this anger? . .

If your business depends on how successful the next FCP release will be. . .

A word of advice. Chill the FUCK out.

Hahahaha ahhh!!!
Thanks Andrew; )
You made my night ;p

FCP X sounds very promising.
Great advanced features, speed and metadata support.
I'll wait for my judgement after I work with it.
I hope they release more info on the rest of the studio soon.
The lack of it is driving some ppl nuts...

$300?! I thought iMovie was free!

Funniest comment all night!

I love that yesterday everyone was bagging FCP because it wasn' t as fast, today they're bagging it because the interface that none of them have tried sucks. So the more complex looking interface is the better app? Let's wait till there's more details eh? At least they've done something!
