last time FCP-7 updated, we now have a broad landscape with Avid, Adobe
Premiere, and Blackmagic Resolve competing for that marketshare.

We imagine the folks at Blackmagic are both celebrating the timing of
this announcement and rushing to get 14 out of beta before the official
High Sierra launch.
Considering the amazing improvements with editing tools in
Resolve this year, we imagine the folks at Blackmagic are both
celebrating the timing of this announcement and rushing to get
14 out of Beta before the official High Sierra launch, since moving
from FCP-7 straight over to Resolve would make a lot of sense
for the majority of users. Unfortunately, Avid has hobbled Media
Composer First too much to make it a real consideration if you
are the type of user who is still hanging on to FCP classic. If users
haven’t jumped to Premiere already, it’s likely the subscription fee
they want to avoid and so they aren’t likely to jump now. Good old
free Resolve is waiting for those FCP-7 users investigating other
options: just be sure to get the newest beta for your testing, as
beta 6 is much more stable than before.
