Conan’s editors really love Final Cut Pro X… or perhaps they do not (video)

The internet is abuzz with talk of Apple’s new slimmed-down, low-cost Final Cut Pro X , but Cupertino’s beloved video editing platform has also caused quite a stir among professionals, who note its loss of features and glaring absence of backwards compatibility. Conan O’Brien’s editors have already downloaded the recent app, and threw together a segment for last night’s show highlighting a number of its new features . Jump past the break for a clip of ultimate Cut Pro’s 90 seconds of fame, or warm up that bank card and head over to the Mac App Store to offer it a spin for yourself. Just don’t dump Final Cut Pro 7 yet — you would need to have it around to open legacy projects, output to tape, utilize multiple editing sequences, and access Photoshop layers, in addition to one or two other tiny omissions.
