I honestly don't think this is enough. My video editing pals are dumping FCP in droves and there is no heat behind FCPX (updated or not) at all. And where there's no heat, there's no shop talk. Where there's no shop talk, there's no business needs discussion, and where there's no business needs discussion there's no sale. Apple lost control of the dialogue here.

I don't see that. Actually professionals (in general, but also people I know) don't update that often. Think 5-6 years timescale. They need a stable base, and they don't even upgrade OSes or computers. So, in all the time FCPX is out, they are still 1 or 2 FCP versions behind. They might get on the FCPX bandwagon on v2 or even 3. In another field I know even better because my brother works on it, professional music studios still use Logic 7 and 8, a lot even use G5 (G5's man!). All the hoopla about FCPX is from amateur and semi-pro guys, that can jump around from program to program without care. It's not as if they have (much) work to do. See also the second version of the FCPX impressions (after the first updates), from some pros in Philip Bloom's site: http://philipbloom.net/2012/02/07/fcpxeditors/ http://philipbloom.net/2012/02/07/fcpxeditors/
