There are parts of FCX that I love, and then parts that make me want to beat my head off a wall until the concussion causes me to go into a coma and die.
@LostJomper yeah, its probably not as funny if you understand German.. a non-German speaker cannot understand the word and therefore links the text with the emotions much better!! I thought this was hilarious!:)
@OceanwhispererStudio I'm considering learning Avid also simply because knowing both (7, not X) can generate more work. I see that more TV work is done using Avid, which means higher profile credits for the editor.
Everyone needs to stop complaining about FCP X and move on...
to Lightworks. Google Lightworksbeta. It's FREE, OPEN SOURCE professional video editing software. It's been around for 20 years. Moulin Rouge, The Kings Speech and Hanna were all cut on it. There is a $60/year subscription for the pro features.
Mac & Linux versions are released December 11, Windows version is out now in Beta and official release is late November. It fully supports R3D, ProRes and Avid DNxHD media...
Excellent and hilarious video. And the metaphor works, because just like in real life, Hitler's beliefs will prove to be wrong in the end.
Truth is, FCP X really is an improved product. Missing a few features, yes, but it has many more powerful features to make up for it. Take some time to work with it, you'll find that it really is a pro-level app, you just gotta get used to doing some things differently.
Even so, I couldn't stop laughing at this video. Awesome writing.
These things never get old....but they make me agree with Hitler, all of the time. FCP X is appalling, and Hitler is 100% correct (in this video, he was totally wrong about the jews and that)
How about all you haters go tell apple instead of commenting on some video. If it's as bad as you say it is, write a review about on iTunes. That could actually make a difference.
As an Adobe Premiere Pro editor, I actually find this to be no surprise. Apple has ALWAYS had their eyes set on the consumer and it has been like that from day one when they planted all those little computers in the Kindergarten classes many years ago. They are now creating a million untalented video editors who have pretty much taken down the entire video industry with their lame imovie videos.
What do you mean the entire industry? Anyone who edits with iMovie can only go as far as Youtube so its not like their impacting on the film industry right. Besides, isn't it good that a prosumer level editing software is there as to nurture talent. Cause you can't go far without talent anyway right?
@POINTEBLANC91 You couldn't of said it better. Apple has turned consumerism into a religion and this is the perfect time for Avid to go in for the kill.
@POINTEBLANC91 nothing to do with luck. I have abobe master suite, but I know fcp X will surprise the " professionals " who are so stupid as to pre judge something
@alanbstard4 "Coming in early 2012 Multicam Editing Broadcast-Quality Video Monitoring according to apple fcp x site"
Hm, I'll believe it when I see it. As of late, Apple's "promises" have fallen rather short of glory, so forgive me, and everyone else, if we don't QUITE believe that Apple can pull it off anymore.
I just read the Walter Biscardi review and well, holy shit, is all I can say. I'm searching the depths of my brain to find a reason for such a colossal Fup. The only reason I can fathom is that their professional FCP customer base is no longer a profitable division, and they are trying to entice all the wannabe film makers into paying more for and believing they are using a professional platform.
@droolies FCP7 and iChat theater preview. My brother and I used iChat to collaborate on the script writing in real-time between SF and LA. It's another fantastic feature missing in X.
@MrEddieBTV It's a fantastic feature. You stream the output of your timeline straight to iChat video. You can talk and collaborate just like being in the same room together. I use it with my LA-based partners all the time and when I use it with clients, they think I'm a rockstar because they can watch me make changes and immediately see the results from their offices. It's awesome and in FCPX it's gone.
This piece is brilliant not only as humor, but as a review of the product itself. It gets to the kernel of the problem like no other review has so far. The screaming is also appropiate: this is tragic for professional production houses. We can only hope Apple releases Final Cut Pro 8.0 and renames the infamous "X" as iMovie Pro 1.0
Why don't Apple teams call it iMovie Pro instead of Final Cut Pro X? And Apple should make an update Final Cut Pro 8 with the same Final Cut Pro interfaces so that many Final Cut Pro editors don' t have to spend time, money, and efforts to learn the new software (Final Cut Pro X) which they don't like. This "Final Cut Pro X" causes so many confusions to many Final Cut Pro editors.
I'm a Final Cut Studio Master Pro and just by looking at the new FCPX, I feel as if Apple FUCKED all these years of studying Final Cut Studio and Final Cut Pro. You are right about many things. It will take time and allot of effort to learn in depth a whole different "app" that isn't as close as powerful as Final Cut Pro 7 or Avid. Many people complain and say they are switching to Avid or Premier Pro but in my personal preference, I'm staying with FCP7. It still gets the job done.
The "AndiePandaVideo" /watch?v=ZVV9wEQZmGE&feature=player_embedded is funny and good too. That one was posted May 11. I wonder if this was inspired by that one.
Hilarious, and so true, it's crap, Apple haven't so much shot themselves in teh foot as dropped a thermonuclear device on it and totaled their reputation and client base - clever!
Just found out that AVID is offering a huge discount to former Final Cut users through Sept 2011. I'm porting over to that system by the end of the month. After 10 years of using Apple FCP - Apple has abandoned those who supported them when no one else would.
3:06: "All I wanted was just the final solution they promised years ago." -- that doesn't even make sense in the context of this parody (at least not to me), it does, however, in the context of Hitler's real-world mindset. Weird and creepy moment, otherwise good, funny vid.
I sold my boxed Final Cut Studio a couple of months ago and started using Premiere Pro. I've had a play with FCPX and to be honest, it's just iMovie - a pretty good version of iMovie too but you can see the way Apple are going with this. Prosumer is where the money is I suppose and I'll have a play some more - maybe it will grow on me!
At 0:20 I face-palmed and knew where this was heading
Anyway, apple did this because the CONSUMER market is much larger than the PRO market! And come on, guys. It's still version 1.1! Apple has acknowledged the problems and they will add everything like old final cut project compatibility and multicam!
I predict the same will happen with Lion. People will freak out but later not care.
And, remember what happened with the iphone 4's antenna? Ever hear people complaining about that anymore?
@Onewa80 You're obviously not a "Pro" This is a total back stab to all the professionals out there who supported and made FCP the amazing software it was!
Don't take it so hard. People aren't putting a gun to your head forcing you to upgrade. Oh nooo, Apple made a video editing system that WAS MADE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE! *gasp*. I don't care because this is a perfect win for a 15 year old wanting to step up. Not TOO complicated, and I can always upgrade/downgrade to FCP 7 later. Sheesh, I'm so horrible because I'm part of the group apple was targeting: Nnwbies in the Film world wanting to step it up.
Uh, being I and 1000's of other professionals have spent 1000s if not millions on FCP,
justifies taking this "so hard." Being a high school video instructor as well, I'm
also well aware of how this is not a "perfect win for a 15 year old wanting to step up." My students use FCP Express which is way more complicated than FCP X and they're cutting with ease after just one project.
So long story short, you don't know what you're talking about. But don't take it so hard ;)
Great video. It is sad but true, Apple's market is consumers, that is where their future lies. I am a developer and have been using OS X 10.7 Lion for a few months now. It is going in the same direction, simpler, less control, 10.8 will get rid of the Finder totally. FCP X is not a surprise, but sad. Apple want to make money, not great software. Fine. For the moment FCP 7 is pretty solid, take this time to investigate ADOBE & Windows.
The tutorials are talking about rethinking your personal workflow. However, what Apple also apparently paid no attention to at all was the standard workflow of the overall studios. They *aren't* going to change for one piece of software. Adobe Premiere 6.0, anyone? Time to make a change..... (no tracks? iMovie? Are you KIDDING? We're not in kindergarten here.)
I'd have chosen a different sample of apoplexy. Are folks really that worked up over Final Cut Pro? Has it truly been dumbed down? I think I will watch this again, with the sound turned down. As for iMovie: arf-arf. With such hardware muscle, there seems no plausible excuse for poor functionality or user interface.
GREAT LINES !! Walter Murch line priceless. I was brought to FCP kicking and screaming as an Avid editor. I do like FCP 7 although it has its peculiar limitations. Had high hopes for FCP "8". The look on an editor I know to be a FCP evangelist when he told me of his disappointment in all of Apple. that was shocking.
Steve Jobs = Lonesome Roads
Strange that I bought a boxed Avid 4.5 last summer. Must have had some psychic notion going on there. Will have new 8 core PC later this summer.

OMG I love this! It's like the words came out of my mouth! Have been trying to use this piece of crap now for a week and it has me as sick as iMovie did after v.6. I agree, it looks like the same clown that screwed up iMovie wrecked FCP as well.
Haven't laughed so much in long time... really funny funny made... and the worst and best thing of the script, and about all this, is that it is true... sadly.... excellent job..!!!
I enjoyed this video - thought the writing was great, but not giving credit to the guys who came up with the idea originally is pretty crappy. It's pretty obvious that slackalicefilms uploaded their video of this exact same footage regarding the exact same software product with different subtitles over a month ago, and thus deserve some credit for the concept.
He should have seen it coming . . . Didn't he have the battles with Mobile Me and the data that would never sync? Hadn't he watched non-Intel machines get abandoned while "upgrades" of software made older computers obsolete? Imaginary improvements wreaking havoc with Contacts and iCal that even the "genius bar backs" could not solve? He should have known that the Apple of his eye would become the mote.
Brilliant! Great writing & timing with the movie. Very funny & expresses the sentiments I've been reading about. I heard about Adobe's 50% Switch offering for Premiere- cant believe I'm even considering the app that got me started in non linear editing way back last century!
My company is an Apple Pro Video reseller, and we have about 5, new, sealed boxes of FCP7 (the whole Studio box) for sale. If interested, shoot me a note at
I was actually thinking to myself a few days ago that Final Cut Pro 7 is one of few things left from Apple that doesn't make me feel stupid.. It gives you all the tools you need to get what you want done, while still being relatively simple. It's one of the primary reasons I got a stupid Mac apart from stability.
I don't mind too much tho as I'm monitoring the market to see where it takes me, and if Avid is what I need, so be it.
fantastic job. you captured the pain of professional FCP editors and skewered the traitorous, malicious douchebags at Apple who released this stillbirth of a program
We went FCP at our shop a few years ago, we were using a terrible pro-software based Velocity editing software developed by Leitch/Harris. It was a nightmare. FCP has been a dream come true and I will be damned if I authorize upgrades to this software after reading all I've read. This was a great piece of creative work, good stuff.
in case your not aware, most if not all the "Hitler Reaction" videos are pretty much the same length,, if dhlawrence wanted it to be shorter I'm sure he could easily have managed that in FCP 7 or any other normal editor...
What happened to creativity?
I personally don't think software should have any role in decision making.
A seriously good point about the pro thing. Today all products are labeled with "Pro" that it's totally lost it's meaning. professional tools are not supposed to be for the average consumer and it's completely screwing over the real professionals when their tools are being dumbed down so those average consumers will use them. Why Apple, WHY?
Who did this is a genius! FinalCutUnproX resembles those who have devised it.

FUCKING MAGNETS... Final Cut X is not so bad, but it's not so good after years using Final Cut pro... Fuck apple...

3:06: "All I wanted was just the final solution they promised years ago." -- that doesn't even make sense in the context of this parody (at least not to me), it does, however, in the context of Hitler's real-world mindset. Weird and creepy moment, otherwise good, funny vid.

I sold my boxed Final Cut Studio a couple of months ago and started using Premiere Pro. I've had a play with FCPX and to be honest, it's just iMovie - a pretty good version of iMovie too but you can see the way Apple are going with this. Prosumer is where the money is I suppose and I'll have a play some more - maybe it will grow on me!

Premiere Pro FTW.
(If it wasn't superior before, at least it's more compatible with Final Cut Pro 7 than Final Cut Pro X is!)

2 words: Adobe Premiere. After moving completely to the Apple platform, this is how us converts are treated. 2 more words: F*CK APPLE.

@BruceTube65 Did you just compare Final Cut Pro to a fucking antenna? GTFO.

At 0:20 I face-palmed and knew where this was heading
Anyway, apple did this because the CONSUMER market is much larger than the PRO market! And come on, guys. It's still version 1.1! Apple has acknowledged the problems and they will add everything like old final cut project compatibility and multicam!
I predict the same will happen with Lion. People will freak out but later not care.
And, remember what happened with the iphone 4's antenna? Ever hear people complaining about that anymore?

@Onewa80 You're obviously not a "Pro" This is a total back stab to all the professionals out there who supported and made FCP the amazing software it was!

Don't take it so hard. People aren't putting a gun to your head forcing you to upgrade. Oh nooo, Apple made a video editing system that WAS MADE FOR NORMAL PEOPLE! *gasp*. I don't care because this is a perfect win for a 15 year old wanting to step up. Not TOO complicated, and I can always upgrade/downgrade to FCP 7 later. Sheesh, I'm so horrible because I'm part of the group apple was targeting: Nnwbies in the Film world wanting to step it up.

@Onewa80
Uh, being I and 1000's of other professionals have spent 1000s if not millions on FCP,
justifies taking this "so hard." Being a high school video instructor as well, I'm
also well aware of how this is not a "perfect win for a 15 year old wanting to step up." My students use FCP Express which is way more complicated than FCP X and they're cutting with ease after just one project.
So long story short, you don't know what you're talking about. But don't take it so hard ;)

@Onewa80 I agree, but I think Apple release FCPX six months early. Also, I think a lot people don't like change.

Great video. It is sad but true, Apple's market is consumers, that is where their future lies. I am a developer and have been using OS X 10.7 Lion for a few months now. It is going in the same direction, simpler, less control, 10.8 will get rid of the Finder totally. FCP X is not a surprise, but sad. Apple want to make money, not great software. Fine. For the moment FCP 7 is pretty solid, take this time to investigate ADOBE & Windows.
anilksolanki 7 months ago
The tutorials are talking about rethinking your personal workflow. However, what Apple also apparently paid no attention to at all was the standard workflow of the overall studios. They *aren't* going to change for one piece of software. Adobe Premiere 6.0, anyone? Time to make a change..... (no tracks? iMovie? Are you KIDDING? We're not in kindergarten here.)

I'd have chosen a different sample of apoplexy. Are folks really that worked up over Final Cut Pro? Has it truly been dumbed down? I think I will watch this again, with the sound turned down. As for iMovie: arf-arf. With such hardware muscle, there seems no plausible excuse for poor functionality or user interface.

The guy that wrote the last version of iMovie DID write FCP X. But he also wrote all the previous versions of FCP. So, go figure...

GREAT LINES !! Walter Murch line priceless. I was brought to FCP kicking and screaming as an Avid editor. I do like FCP 7 although it has its peculiar limitations. Had high hopes for FCP "8". The look on an editor I know to be a FCP evangelist when he told me of his disappointment in all of Apple. that was shocking.
Steve Jobs = Lonesome Roads
Strange that I bought a boxed Avid 4.5 last summer. Must have had some psychic notion going on there. Will have new 8 core PC later this summer.

OMG I love this! It's like the words came out of my mouth! Have been trying to use this piece of crap now for a week and it has me as sick as iMovie did after v.6. I agree, it looks like the same clown that screwed up iMovie wrecked FCP as well.

I enjoyed this video - thought the writing was great, but not giving credit to the guys who came up with the idea originally is pretty crappy. It's pretty obvious that slackalicefilms uploaded their video of this exact same footage regarding the exact same software product with different subtitles over a month ago, and thus deserve some credit for the concept.

He should have seen it coming . . . Didn't he have the battles with Mobile Me and the data that would never sync? Hadn't he watched non-Intel machines get abandoned while "upgrades" of software made older computers obsolete? Imaginary improvements wreaking havoc with Contacts and iCal that even the "genius bar backs" could not solve? He should have known that the Apple of his eye would become the mote.

Brilliant! Great writing & timing with the movie. Very funny & expresses the sentiments I've been reading about. I heard about Adobe's 50% Switch offering for Premiere- cant believe I'm even considering the app that got me started in non linear editing way back last century!

Hey dhlawrence,
Good job mate! I laughed
I was actually thinking to myself a few days ago that Final Cut Pro 7 is one of few things left from Apple that doesn't make me feel stupid.. It gives you all the tools you need to get what you want done, while still being relatively simple. It's one of the primary reasons I got a stupid Mac apart from stability.
I don't mind too much tho as I'm monitoring the market to see where it takes me, and if Avid is what I need, so be it.

fantastic job. you captured the pain of professional FCP editors and skewered the traitorous, malicious douchebags at Apple who released this stillbirth of a program

We went FCP at our shop a few years ago, we were using a terrible pro-software based Velocity editing software developed by Leitch/Harris. It was a nightmare. FCP has been a dream come true and I will be damned if I authorize upgrades to this software after reading all I've read. This was a great piece of creative work, good stuff.

Too long. Maybe if you learned how to edit in FCPX you could have cut it down to something watchable.

@trackmatte
Booo,,
in case your not aware, most if not all the "Hitler Reaction" videos are pretty much the same length,, if dhlawrence wanted it to be shorter I'm sure he could easily have managed that in FCP 7 or any other normal editor...
What happened to creativity?
I personally don't think software should have any role in decision making.
djlobb 7 months ago
A seriously good point about the pro thing. Today all products are labeled with "Pro" that it's totally lost it's meaning. professional tools are not supposed to be for the average consumer and it's completely screwing over the real professionals when their tools are being dumbed down so those average consumers will use them. Why Apple, WHY?
