and finally……

[Douglas K. dempsey]

Per Bill’s comments, I have posted often on this forum the fact that I use X for a high school video class, the 15-18 year old range Bill mentions.

And I have noted that we have FCP7 and the full CS6 on all of our iMacs.

But X is the sweet spot. Kids from theatre, photography and art … universally respond well to X.

These kids don’t have a “where are the tracks?” mentality. They just instantly “get” the app and start using it creatively.

The more serious students who come back year after year tend to buy X and work at home; they dive into the deep end in class, trying to master techniques and features.

I show them FCP7, PPro and Avid MC Student edition. They appreciate the vague idea that workflow and group collaboration may require them to master more apps if they ever “go pro.”

But meantime, I don’t see anyone being “held back” in their experimentation and creativity by using X.
