005: Apple Burns the Past: Final Cut Pro X Introduction (ft. Brad Olsen) (Patreon)

If Apple burned down your house, and built you an epic mansion with tons of cool stuff, that'd be pretty cool, right? Wait, no… YOU BURNED DOWN MY HOUSE?! In a nutshell, that's how many passionate, invested Final Cut Pro users felt when Apple rewrote the program for version 10.0, and killed support for version 7.0.

Despite new innovations in the software update, many users felt betrayed or abandoned when Apple initiated this harsh transition. Today, on the 10th anniversary, we'll talk about the Final Cut Pro X launch: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
