Good input, thank you. We are all trying to figure this one out.
I believe it’ll take a worldwide brain to solve this puzzle.Or probably just time 🙂

[David Roth Weiss] “Worst of all, it prioritizes clip collision avoidance at the expense of creative editing.

I would disagree with that as a statement, it hasn’t stopped me editing creatively at all, but that’s just my opinion.“My Name is Steve and I’m an FCPX user”

Nothing is just right for everyone Steve. The middle bed in the Goldilocks tale was only “just right” for Goldy and Momma Bear.

Hence the words “just my opinion”

I’m elated that it works for you, however there has been a considerable lack of tolerance expressed here when some of us mention that it doesn’t work for us.

That is true
“My Name is Steve and I’m an FCPX user”

[Steve Connor] “That is true”
But, I also think that’s changing… I’ve seen evidence of a shift toward increasing civility lately. I’m not sure what to attribute that to, but maybe it’s just the passage of time and the healing of wounds.
They do say that time heals all wounds, right?

“Again true, I think the forum name change helped clarify things as well.
I just hope that some of the FCPX devs occasionally look in and take notes

I think blanket statements like:
[David Roth Weiss] “Worst of all, it prioritizes clip collision avoidance at the expense of creative editing.”
might be confusing without examples. Personally, I find the editing process in FCPX to be almost like sketching and much more creative, due in part to it’s speed and “ease of use” as compared to FCP7. The organization process in FCPX can be extremely easy and fast, or as granular as you want/need it to be with very high levels of interaction and detail.
I understand that not everyone likes it, that’s totally fine. I don’t like Windows or Avid, but to say that FCPX gets in the way of creativity on this here FCPX debate forum would be a worthwhile exploration.

[Jeremy Garchow] “to say that FCPX gets in the way of creativity on this here FCPX debate forum would be a worthwhile exploration.”
Okay, let me change that statement slightly.
For me and in my work, X prioritizes clip collision avoidance at the expense of my creative editing and decision making. However, for those editors who may not be as adept with FCP legacy, or for those who have constant and insurmountable issues with clip collisions, maybe X is just the ticket.
And again Jeremy, as I’ve posted elsewhere, at the very core of my philosophy of film and video technology is the belief that storytelling is difficult enough without adding unnecessary obstacles to the creative process.
