*nods* and like I said, the revolution needs to happen but why FCP? Why not use the reality distorting ray to make iShiny and leave FCP with a small support team for the professionals to use while they transition their workflow.

I always figured that the professionals gave FCP validity, that there was some magic in having the software that the pros use. I guess they couldn't make FCP be all things to all folks and this is what we have instead.

It's fascinating stuff. Don't know I like the magnetic timeline - I never liked the similar feature in Premiere. I guess we'll see. It'll be a long while before I could ever afford a mac, so I'll leave my workflow as it is. You know, the workflow that allows me to handle aspect ratios and put markers on the timeline?

I bet Adobe are happy today, though. I can't see Avid winning over the professionals these days.
