This workshop will discuss Apple's decision to abandon the popular Final Cut Pro (FCP) suite of production applications in lieu of what the company has termed a new "paradigm" in digital video editing titled FCP X. We will discuss the pros and cons of transitioning from FCP 7 to FCP X. We will also explore why academic programs may consider Adobe Premiere and AVID as a desktop editing solution for their academic programs. Finally, we will discuss what has been termed the worse product role-out in the history of Apple computer and the Internet sensation and mis-information the role-out has produced.
