That seems like a huge over simplification. Watch something like White Christmas and then watch Breathless. They are very different films, only 6 years apart, but it's not the pace of the cut that makes them different. For the most part Breathless is slower.

There are plenty of films and TV shows that aren't cut fast. Bullitt is just as fast as many action films today.

Yeah, but he said "the language of editing", not the pace. We are still using techniques from Griffith and Welles, no one has really invented much in the way of new editing.

I guess you could say something like Timecode, where you have a split-screen real-time edit, but that is more of a gimmick than a new style of editing.

Excuse me sir, I make liberal use of the page peel, star wipe, and water ripple transitions, I'd like to see Griffith's editor do THAT :colbert:

But what about the naked lady wipes?

Yeah, they only care about iDevices, that's why they spent lots of time and money rewriting FCP from scratch. It'll be updated, if it doesn't work for you then use 7. My main client still has 6, it's fine.

Not sure why people are so disappointed, it's not ready, so don't use it yet.

The reason I am disappointed is that they have stopped selling new licenses for FCP 7. So if you didn't buy FCP 7 before this new unusable piece of poo poo came out, you are screwed for at least a year.

At work this isn't an issue, but I am in the planning stages for buying a new editing system at home, and now I am screwed.

Apparently they've communicated some responses to David Pogue.

That isn't very helpful, you need a reporter who actually knows what the product is used for to ask the right questions.

Anyone care to give their input on an artsy music video I've been assembling? I haven't cut anything with any sincerity since two-year film school in 2004.
