Hey all! I'll cut right to the chase. I have to pause the episode schedule for a bit (the audio goes into detail), but stay tuned for future announcements. In the meantime, there's 7 past episodes of this podcast, plus a dozen episodes on my other podcast, No Cameras Allowed. That should tide you over! Plus, I have hundreds of videos on the main Computer Clan YouTube channel, with new episodes coming out every other week (sometimes more). Stay tuned, and thanks for your support! Catch the crazy, and pass it on.

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. Oh yeah… the drama brewed so much that a documentary was made about it (link below)!
