When you say 'iMovie Pro' what do you mean?

That term has been floating around since Day Zero of FCPX. A lot of people then (and some now) felt that FCP-10 was not the heir to the throne of the mighty King FCP7, but rather the bastard son of the usurper iMovie. To put it metaphorically....

My comment on the iMovie Pro is... what is Adobe Premiere CS6? Adobe Final Cut Premiere? :lol:

Oh I get where it comes from, but I don't quite know when someone uses that as a reason for why they don't like/use FCP X what they mean by it.

That was a major point of critique at the beginning. Some folks' ego had trouble with the fact that the UI looks like a consumer product.

If Adobe has been starting to copy some features for Premiere - it has a skimmer now! Does that mean it's not a professional editor any more? - means that Apple has been on the right track with X.

Photoshop even has a magnetic timeline.... no pro-app anymore either?

And Adobe built a stand along app to deal with metadata, after X was released.
