During our call to debate Final Cut Pro X earlier this week, an Apple product manager boasted in regards to the product’s low cost, media management, and ground-up redesign. Unfortunately, when ranging from scratch, developers appear to have overlooked a number of features that pro users have come to rely on, prompting widespread backlash — both on internet forums or even on Apple’s own App Store, where the $300 download-only app currently has a rating of just 2.5 stars (out of 5), including nearly 500 one-star ratings. (Note: you need to purchase the app before submitting a rating or review.) The brand new York Times spoke to product managers about these issues, inclusive of an inability to import old FCP files, no multicamera editing, no support for RED cameras, and no ability to specify QuickTime export settings, among many others. Apple says there are (pricey) workarounds available, or fixes at the way for all however the first issue, but head over to the source link for the complete rundown at NYT.
