If you're a 5D or iPhone shooter, this is a major step up from iMovie, which seems to be the basis for this new consumer app. But Final Cut Pro this is not. There are multiple pro features missing from this tool that make it unsuitable for a professional workflow. The inability to import projects from older Final Cut Pro versions, the lack of external display support, the dumbing down of color correction tools, the elimination of multi camera editing and worst of all, the complete lack of XML/EDL/OMF support makes this a consumer application with no hint of support for professional users. Apple is facing a s**tstorm of negative PR over this. This is a marketing trainwreck. All they had to do was say "this isn't a pro app, because these vital features are missing, but will be added within x months - but here's the direction we're taking." and they would have saved face.

There is a lot of mixed feedback about FCPX at the moment, if you are used to FCP7 it might be wise to stay on the sidelines until Apple has released an update or two.

It is being portrayed as IMovie +. Shame as I fancied buying final cut pro. I am staying well away as there is some really negative feedback in the App Store. It is being portrayed as IMovie +.
