Final Cut Pro X was less an upgrade of its predecessor Final Cut Pro 7, and was instead “rebuilt from the ground up,” Apple said in a statement. Apple described the release, available only through the new Mac Apple Store with a reduced price of $300 from $1,000, as “revolutionary.”
Many have been likening this situation to the oversimplification of iMovie ’08, which Apple released to similar disapproval. The company’s goal of appealing to a more casual demographic beyond professional video editors have left those dependent on the industry-standard program without the necessary tools of their trade.
Users who rely on the program have taken to the web to voice complaints about features that are no longer available on the new version, such as editing multi-camera shots, layering audio tracks or loading projects started on older versions of Final Cut. Many customers are giving it a one-star rating, and it is currently listed as a C-grade application.
“This is no longer a professional application,” said a review posted in the App Store. “This is just an upgrade of iMovie.”
