“If there is one person that can tell you about the success of Final Cut Pro in Europe, it is Ronny Courtens,” Patrick Southern writes for fcp.co. “Final Cut Pro X is doing very well in Europe. Dozens of huge projects are being cut in FCPX as you read this article.”
“While adoption of new technology does take place in Hollywood, it takes longer,” Southern writes. “Europe, on the other hand, seems to move very quickly. Currently the BBC, Metronome, BlazHofski, VGTV, and Swiss National Television (RTS) are all working in Final Cut Pro X for their broadcast television operations. The reasons for their move to FCPX vary. For some it is about specific tools within Final Cut. For others, it is about the ease of use and short learning curve for new editors.”
“Ronny Courtens has been involved in getting many of these shows up and running in Final Cut,” Southern writes. “During NAB, he gave a great presentation about WHY Final Cut Pro X is so hot in Europe.”

MacDailyNews Take: Editors who do not use or, more precisely, do not know how to use Final Cut Pro X are doing themselves and their clients a disservice. They are taking longer and working harder to get to the same place.

MDN is riddled with dangerous advertisements! Caveat Emptor!
Anybody know a way to get rid of Hijacking MacKeeper ads on MDN?
My posts often get removed for suggesting this but I’ll take a risk and whisper to you that if you turn Java and Java script in your browser, MDN looks mmmm so good. Like it used to when it first started up.
I did that. It works. But now I can’t see any YouTube videos.
Do you go through turning Javescript off and on continuously as you go from MDN to other sites?
An astute observation Paul. Yes some sites will not work at all without Java, others will recommend Java for the full experience of the sight. Essentially I aim to have sessions with Java (for watching youtube and so on) or without depending on the sites I go to, and I have enough experience by now which sites are which. Turning Java and Javascript off is great for quick news browsing when you don’t need a lot of bells and whistles and don’t mind foregoing the adds.
Here at MDN, well you see the difference in the functionality of the site vs. the speed of the site. You don’t get to vote or see the votes functions along with the ads, but you should notice that the site is zippier.
You mean turn off Java. I had to do this because I kept getting fake virus messages.
Yes, I mean turn Java off. I don’t edit my posts as much as I should but you read between the lines in this case.
The video provides a highly enthusiastic and passionate testimonial for FCPX. It is nice to know that Apple is doing some things very well. And it is instructive to consider that FCPX was met with a lot of opposition at the start. Much of that, of course, was due to the fact that it was an incomplete replacement for the previous version of FCP out of the gate.

I watched the video in the link. It was awesome. It gave me a glimpse of the huge amount of creative activity going on in Europe.
Interesting how no one has stated the obvious, which is that FCP was replaced with FCPX waaaaay back in 2011.
Which means that after a mere 7 years, while it is nice to hear that the EU likes it, it _still_ hasn’t gotten meaningful traction in Hollywood.
It isn’t hard to recall just how immature & feature-poor FCPX was in comparison to FCP when it first came out. And the installed base of FCP was none too happy with how poorly Apple addressed their concerns & needs.
This, sadly, is not a success story, but one of failure in Apple’s wheelhouse home market in the USA.
Same as they have done with every app they have recreated. First blow up everything that worked and start by making a new one that is primarily iOS compatible, but that will also work on MacOS, to hell with Mac users, and assure us that they will add back the missing features to the new bare bone app ASAP then take several years to do it. Thinking Pages, Keynote, Numbers and Photos. Aperture users just got totally driven to Adobe or some other third party. Why does Apple continue to do this? How can any of us be expected to adapt our workflows to something lesser? Why would we want to? That merely drives a person to look for a third party solution that is at least more stable in terms of being cannibalized by its developer. Come on Apple, get off your collective duffs!
Which is why Apple needed to make a Final Cut Pro 8 that was 64 bit happy while working on FCPX and released when it was ready in maybe 2015-16.
Along with their successes Apple does lots of stupid & unfathomable things, like totally messing with the pro market (Mac Pro 2013 misfire) for years & years with waiting for upgraded & upgradeable machines and not worrying about the consequences of 6-7 years passing.
And oh man are there ever consequences! You don’t have the time for us, we don’t have the patience to wait for you, and we just move on.
