I understand what you're saying. The article aims to "walk us through what really happened", then romanticizes the inception of FPX with a tale of brave mavericks bucking trends, following bold new vision in the face of stagnant headwinds. IMHO there's a fine line between a "fresh look" and "revisionism". History matters. The inception of FCPX was a mess, there's no rose colored view of it. And it wasn't particularly innovativeother than the "magnetic timeline", which needed to be reigned in and updated to allow for more traditional tried-and-true editing. Other than that it was far more limited in features -- including innovative ones -- than either its predecessors or competitors. For many years. I believe the account above is 20-20 hindsight, which is an honest way to go. The Eddie product seems amazing, thought -- nice job, looking forward to digging in - b
