Oh, people would have objected. You have no idea what you're talking about here William.

Final Cut Pro is not professional software. It is not fit for this purpose. The editor needs to use Avid for multi-camera bank and timecode sync support (he may or may not be able to use Adobe Premiere, but Avid shines in multicam workflow so it's hands-down the best tool for the job he described).

Final Cut Pro is not capable of doing what Avid is in this case and using Avid is the right choice for the show. FCP 7.x was somewhat competitive with Avid for TV and film production in the distant past, but Apple abandoned the pro market with FCP X when it completely rewrote the software and threw out all the professional features, forced the trashcan mac on everyone, and made many other questionable decisions that abandoned the pro market in the 2010-2020 era. Apple has not been a serious competitor in the NLE software space since. FCP is a fancy version of imovie at this point. It's not a good fit for actual professional working on large projects. For small stuff, it's perfectly fine. The audience is now youtube editors and one-man-band productions, not professional TV/Film productions.
