Apple posts FCP X in Action

[Peter Dearmond]

Thanks for the link. Very effective articles for Apple.

Of particular interest was the gear list for each of the companies: @radical.media just has “Mac,” which I assume means Mac Pro (tower). Electric Entertainment lists “iMac and MacBook Pro.” Knute Hake has a “27-inch iMac.” I wonder if this is another way Apple is getting our minds ready for end of the Mac Pro.

By the way, I’m a first-time poster on this forum, learning FCPX and liking it so far.

While the articles make the transition seem easy for me it was quite a struggle to go from 7 to X, the discussion of the speed and ease of editing in X ranges true with my experience. I have found the work flow for cutting an hour plus video of lacrosse down to a 5 minute story goes much faster with X. For this workflow the magnetic time line and attaching other files to specific clips really works. Mixing some game sound, with some voice over and background music also goes faster.

I did buy a new 27 inch iMac and the new video card made a huge difference and the upgrades has really improved the situation, so after a lot of trouble, I am glad I switched.
