MVP applies to the first iteration of a product, not version 8 of a mature codebase in heavy production use all over the world. It can't even load FCP 7 files.

- kristofferR 15y agoIt's not version 8 of a mature codebase, it's a complete rewrite. It's basically a completely new product with the same name. Quite like OS X actually. The Mac OS series had a long and good run, but OS X was a completely new OS. It had a rocky start (like Final Cut Pro X has now), but eventually it will improve to the point where noone would even consider going back to 7/OS 9.
- dcurtis 15y agoIt's not called Final Cut Pro 8, is it? It's exactly like the difference between Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X: enormous and transformative.
- cageface 15y agoApple bent over backwards to make the OS 9 - OS X transition as painless as possible. You could still run OS 9 apps under Rosetta for years after almost everybody stopped caring. Scoble's tone of entitlement is irritating but this release is more strong evidence that the pro market isn't important to Apple anymore.
- ugh 15y agoAnd you can still run FCP7. What's the difference? There is none.
- ddagradi 15y agoTo be fair, FCPX is a complete rewrite of the entire codebase. It's a lot like Apple hit the reset button - a weird decision, but not unreasonable to call it an MVP...again.
