This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars (infosec.pub)

They announced a subscription plan today, funnily enough.

But no, FCPX was a huge fuck you to the professional market. And yes, FCPX is built on the iMovie codebase rather than FCP7.

On release:

0 backward compatibility with FCP7 projects.
Support for tape ingest removed.
Multicam editing removed.
No external monitor for playback
Unable to export to Color and other post packages, breaking the whole professional workflow.
Could only be installed manually via the App Store.

And the worst part of all this was Apple abruptly withdrew FCP7 on launch day. So if you were a post house working on a big job and needed a few extra licences, fuck you. If you needed any of the lost features, fuck you. We’re talking companies that plan upgrades a year or so in advance to minimise disruption, and they suddenly faced having to make do with no more licences, or to suddenly switch to Avid with all the pain that causes.

FCPX was suitable for prosumers, who would ingest, edit, mix and grade in the one package. It was not compatible with the way the industry works, and by removing FCP7, Apple signalled that they were no longer interested in the pro market.
