Jeff Wexler Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Late-night comedy show Conan has taken the unusual step of satirizing Final Cut Pro X. A skit from the latest episode (see below) features members of the show's production team supposedly praising the new video editing suite. The clip itself is badly edited though, with sudden cuts, missing titles, out-of-sync audio and shifting color and lighting. While the sketch is tongue-in-cheek, it does reflect growing criticism of Pro X amongst professionals. The software is missing some commonly-expected features, such as support for older Final Cut project files, or output to tape, which is used by TV studios. Some of these gaps could be filled in future updates. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRzLP0FJ82I&feature=player_embedded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfisk Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 OH, man. That's really really funny. It has to be bad if the Conan guys did a bit on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geordi Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 The trolls in Conan's legal department chased that file off the interwebs. Since they wouldn't make money from it... Dead link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philip Perkins Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 http://teamcoco.com/...-love-final-cuthttp://teamcoco.com/...-love-final-cut I thought it was pretty funny in a good natured way. It makes the points that many of us have been discussing without getting cranky about it. Good for them. Apple's lawyers probably dropped a dime on them about using the shots of the interface w/o permission, so.... phil p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted June 25, 2011 Report Share Posted June 25, 2011 So, Apple is not being a "good sport", nothing new... If Apple's doing business as Conaco Productions, LLC then yes. That's who filed the copyright claim on the YouTube posting. O'Brian's company is within it's rights if it tells YouTube to take down it's copyrighted material posted by a third party. Their bit, their ad revenues. Best regards, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gilchrist Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 So here's a parody of the wildly popular Apple ads, but for FCPX: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgXUh1HrYOw&http://www.youtube....player_embedded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted June 27, 2011 Report Share Posted June 27, 2011 The lack of broadcast monitor support is another serious issue for editors like Conan's and all the rest using FCsP at CNN, ABC, the BBC, Turner Studios, Walt Disney, and on and on.
