baffled about doing a specific edit type

I did send that feedback!!!! Let’s hope they think about this.

I think the reason people get pissy on here tends to be comments like:

[Julian Bowman] “FCPX – 2 steps forward, 2 steps back, does a little shimmy but i wanted it to do a swoosh
“

….when what you are trying to do is completely rudimentary stuff and couldn’t be more easy to do in FCPX. Arguably even easier in FCPX than FCP7 or Avid… just different.

My vote would be to just ask the question, without the negativity, get the correct response from someone who knows and keep editing. I find 90 percent of the comments on Creative Cow that are criticisms of FCPX are completely incorrect, and FCPX in those instances completely has a method for doing whatever it is they are complaining about, just differently.

Perhaps Apple should have called it “Continual Splicer Learned” and there’d be less issues, but here we are.
