Downloading now... It will be a few weeks before I actually try to use it for a paying gig, but time to start playing in the sandbox! Downloading Compressor too.

There's some stuff missing that's very annoying like no import of old projects, no old viewer style just in case you wanted it, no fully customizable layout for dual monitors (it's limited), and a few other things. I think I'll hold off for the moment until I figure out the best way to move forward with things.

Yeah, it looks like they still have some work to do in updates, especially regarding import of FCP 6/7 projects, OMF export, multicam, etc. But that stuff is all coming, allegedly. Here is a good write up to answer preliminary questions (from another dvxuser thread on FCP X): http://www.philiphodgetts.com/2011/...e-unanswered-questions-about-final-cut-pro-x/
Hence the Larry Jordan quote about not being ready for professional support.

I love (hate) how every review compares it to previous versions of FCP only. Not once does any one of them attempt to stack it up against at least Premiere.
I wonder if Motion will work as a standalone program. I haven't used Motion on my FCS2 for so long I hardly remember. If the new one has lots of cool presets I might think about getting it.

Can FCP X and FCP 7 both be installed or does FCP X replace FCP 7?

FCP X does not overwrite FCP7. They can run concurrently.

So since it's not working with some stock Mac Pro video cards, I can assume it will not work on my 2008 MacBook Pro.

I have been playing around with it for 15 minutes, just doing some hey what does this do kind of thing. And at least 10 times I have said out loud, wow that is cool. I have been cutting on FCP since version 1, this is all new, and I already love it.

I really dont understand. Why does everyone keep saying this? Because the interface is actually enjoyable to look at?
I haven't had the chance to download it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Honestly with the timeline enhancements it looks to me like it will pilot a lot like Sony Vegas does, which I personally think makes for much faster/pleasant editing.

You're ignoring the fact that it will probably be implemented in an update. Remember, this is a version 1 piece of software.
No but because right now it seems to me a lot of 'Pro' features are missing
