FCPX 10.1.0 PRE-RELEASE DISCUSSION

Unfortunately I don't think Apple charges until they ship.

While I think Apple will still "technically" release the new MP in December, I think it's HIGHLY LIKELY that anyone who orders anything other than a stock configuration probably won't see their machine until January.

All this time we thought the "pro" apple was talking about was for professionals.

I'm starting to think it stands for pro-crastinate!

Or Pro-tracted!!

Whether it's this week or after Xmas they will just become available with no song and dance. The tech press will go crazy of course but little Johnny's Mum shopping for an iPad isn't going to be any the wiser.

Well, I'm starting to believe that having to shut down all the stores, for at least half an hour during Xmas times, has a cost that even an Apple Pro product cannot afford...

I'm not sure they need to, with the base config pages already there.

Why wouldn't they flick the switch to release online and display them in stores overnight like any other product launch?

Agreed. The only time they shut down the stores in the middle of the day is on the day of big release keynotes.

In iMovie 10.0.1 you can delete all the event clips for a project.

The project remains OK, editable and playable.

If you select a clip in the project's timeline and choose 'Reveal in Event' from the File menu (or context menu), the clip is added to the same event that the project is in.

The process of updating websites is transparent to any site visitor. Files can be uploaded anytime and the next time the visitor hits that page or refreshes the new info is there.
Shutting down the store is more like a marketing tactic. An effective one for Apple. Builds excitement and enthusiasm driving the tumbleweeds on Microsoft's site nuts. We're more likely to know of FCPX through a MAS update notification.
It's appearing MacMall might have been in the know after all about "next month." We'll know soon enough.

I bet there are issues with the new Mac Pro's.

I agree. I think this is all MacPro related.

Awesome find!

I still think we'll see FCPX 10.1 later today, around the same time Mavericks 10.9.1 arrived yesterday.

Yeah, I was also hoping for that too...

Agreed. Specifically, I think it is related to Apple's decision to assemble them in the U.S.A. - which of course led to the use of high-fructose corn syrup in place of thermal grease in the CPU and GPU cooling systems. Damn you, Iowa caucuses!

No refurbished Mac Pro cylinders yet....Ha... you know in case they did up a test unit...Hey, at least I checked

Do you think other careers are like this? A bunch of accountants sitting around hitting the update button everyday for a month complaining on forums like this one "Come on Intuit!!! We need TurboTax 2014 already!!!
"Don't update in the middle doing a clients tax return!"

Frustrating thing is that, while it's "nice" that they tied the released of 10.1 to the MacPro, if the MacPro is a hold up, there's no serious reason for them to hold up 10.1. It's not like there's a big marketing event tied together that would impact sales or perception.

I agree.

My decision to upgrade to 10.1 and my decision to buy a MacPro are totally independent of each other.
