X. As a current policy NGT we will not be supporting this software platform now
and in the near future. Final Cut X does not work with our current editing
platform Final Cut version 7, so consider FCP X a new editing system. Normally
with software upgrades functionality exists between the two platforms - in this
case it does not. If Writers/Producers/AP's purchase this for current or future
productions any logs, notes, and or string-outs done in FCP X will not come
across to our current editing systems. FCP X lacks a lot of the functionality
that we require on a daily basis. At launch, there is no support for any tape
based capture, no support of third-party hardware or codecs, you cannot send an
EDL or XML to allow the edits performed or viewed or used in any other editing
or finishing system, and OMF exports for mixes will have to go through Automatic
Duck (another software platform).
Post will purchase a FCP X license for testing and will evaluate the product
for the next couple of months in conjunction with our Engineers. Only when
Post, Engineers, and 3rd party software developers can come up with a more
defined work flow to support our professional needs is when this product will be
rolled out to NGT. Also with the roll out, Apple is no longer selling FCP 7 or
Apple FCP 7 upgrades. If newer or current productions need this software over
the next couple of months, post will do its best to locate a version/license of
FCP 7 or upgrade."
