About legacy media in Final Cut Pro X

From Apple:

"Legacy media files are compatible with macOS Mojave, but they won't be with future macOS releases. Legacy media can include footage recorded with cameras like Sony HDCAM-SR cameras, footage from GoPro cameras recorded in the CineForm format, video files in the Avid DNxHD/DNxHR format created with software, footage shot with many other older cameras, or files modified with older software."

So, saying goodbye to professionals, Apple?
We still have such stuff coming in!

Here's the rest of the page where the quote is taken from: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209000

"On top of HDCAM-SR, if you shoot Cineform with your GoPro or use DNxHR, you might be facing some uphill battles with not only Final Cut, but also all of MacOS, in a future release."

"notice Apple doesn't say that Final Cut won't support Cineform and DNxHR, but that the entire MacOS won't support Cineform and DNxHR. "

the entire MacOS won't support Cineform and DNxHR

Good distinction, I didn't think about this on the first read. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to wave goodbye to Apple in the workplace.

They seem to live in a world of their own…

Not that I don't like my current iMac, but it might be my last.
