Filmmaker Bradley Olsen will share a preview from his recently completed documentary about Final Cut Pro X, Off The Tracks. In 2011 Apple unveiled a brand new version of Final Cut Pro at the Las Vegas SuperMeet. A few editors loved it, others were confused by it, and many decided to switch to other systems. Since that time Apple has continued to develop the application that they tout as the future of editing. With misinformation running amok, Bradley decided to make a documentary to address the question: Why did Apple make Final Cut Pro X?
