its more than a physical slot. you need space for the controller, it has to have power routed to it on the motherboard, blah blah blah.onslaught wrote:Well it's not a space issue cause there's a spot right there for a Firewire port. F-off the lock slot and put in FIrewire!

No, it is not.,never been. It is just stilly Apple marketing and propaganda. FCP is really nice and developed over the years but the real industry standard was and is Avid.stonee wrote: final cut pro is an industry standard, and mac only. so now, mobile editing will be out for me, without buying a pc.
I find the idea of working with video on macbook - which never had proper graphics ridiculous. MBP is called pro for reason it is meant, build for such purpose. I am no Mac fanboy, honestly do not think they alienate themselves from AV professionals, I dont know any pro not using MBP for pro use. Macbook is for girlfriends or mom.
Save some cash and get MBP or get pc and you might discover that Sony Vegas is faster, smarter then hyped FCP. Frankly only software making it worth to boot XP on Mac..
Agreed. I'm sure the Apple engineers are clever enough to fit it in that small area.adventurepants_ wrote: its more than a physical slot. you need space for the controller, it has to have power routed to it on the motherboard, blah blah blah.
Either way, if there is space or not, it should be re-designed to accommodate a Firewire bus/port.

And wasn't the problem with the video performance of the old Macs mostly related to 3D?mkelly wrote:Did they not just stick seriously improved video capabilities into the new MacBooks which make working with video a lot easier?rikhyray wrote:I find the idea of working with video on macbook - which never had proper graphics ridiculous.

You might be surprised these days how much work comes through my facility that was done on FCP. Amateurs are a huge part of the "industry" now, whether they are now fully professional or still really amateurs, and they use what they know. And that is Final Cut.rikhyray wrote:No, it is not.,never been. It is just stilly Apple marketing and propaganda.

Certainly Avid is an industry standard, and has been for much longer, but it's far from the only one anymore.

ps I'm not saying this is a good thing; FCP can be a royal pain in the ass to integrate into a professional postproduction workflow.
