Why is apple not implementing this yet?

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@GXbrandon Good question. There's a blog post by the developers that basically said they weren't going to do it because they assumed someone would figure it out. But they didn't.

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@wwwinsanelygreatmac Worth mentioning they put out a tool a while back that converts the other way, from FCPX to FCP, appropriately called Xto7.

So you managed to make a review of something that came out less than 12 hours after it's release...

...Interesting.

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

@PianoScience You're welcome.

the app works with Final Cut Express

Congratulations on getting a working version, I couldn't get 2 of my FPC7 projects to convert at all and the one that did just crashed FCPX on launch

Great video IGM! I have a question though: how did you put the IGM logo in the actual video? How do you enter this in FCP X?

@radeaver final Cut has a built in importer dorm iMovie (file>import from iMovie)

[radeaver]

@insanlygreatmac Will this work with XML files from iMovie?

[Oneness100]

@GXbrandon because they know that these guys are doing it and Apple's developers are busy writing code for enhancements and other features the pros want. I am sure apple will continue to come out with more features.

[Oneness100]

Soon, I'm sure.

When are the new videos coming out ?
