"Now, after updating the software seven times since its release in 2011, Apple is launching a campaign Thursday aimed at winning back skeptical professional users.

That campaign, timed to coincide with the National Assn. of Broadcasters convention that starts April 6 in Las Vegas, will feature users like Julian Liurette, who followed the firestorm from his video editing desk in Toronto at the Globe and Mail newspaper.

After waiting a year as Apple gradually released updates, Liurette finally gave it a try and was surprised. So Liurette began moving the newspaper's video operations from the old version to Final Cut Pro X.

The campaign will also feature Hong Kong cinema icon Tsui Hark and Mexican television conglomerate TV Azteca."

I hope this update fixes the green frame rendering problem right across the boards and not just with 3rd party effects. I'll update and see.

Hi Dmitri.

Please re-read my post.

Re: FCPX 10.0.8 is out!
 

Ah, sorry!

Re: FCPX 10.0.8 is out!
 

So .... what in the world is a "time reversed clip"? A clip showing something going backwards???

This would be nice depending on what metadata it is. It seems that so often what information is available is everything except the very thing I would like to know.

re: Compressor ...
I still can't figure out if I really need it, or for that matter, if I could even use it.

This was a fast upgrade (i.e., time required to download the new version) for once so that was a blessing.

I've just recently started using FCP X, and that has been driving me crazy! I thought I was pushing a wrong button or fat-fingering something, and it was my fault.

Can't wait to update.

Yes.
