The famous late 70s TV show “The Six Million Dollar Man” had a famous line from its opening credit sequence:

Nothing could have been further from the truth. And perhaps the greatest change of all was that magnetic timeline.Īfter nearly a decade of slowly becoming a formidable competitor in the NLE space, this new version seemed like it was some kind of tacit announcement that Apple was abandoning the professional market. Key collections replaced “Bins.” Tracks were completely eliminated. On top of that, it adopted an entirely new paradigm for how it worked.

Many of the core features that were popular and used frequently in Final Cut Pro 7 were not in Final Cut Pro X when it released. As promising as the announcement was, two months later when the new version was released, perhaps not even Apple could have predicted the blowback.
