China? Yeah, China for gods sake.

[Bill Davis] “Remember I noted that the rest of the world was having an easier transition to FCP X than the U.S.”

So maybe I just need to stand on my head to see it the right way.

So if I’m getting this right, that means that one out of 1.3 Billion people in China love FCPX. OK…

Well Mick Jagger is a grandpa … so does that mean working in Ppro is like visiting a rock star?

Because they are full of wisdom and experience yet are routinely discounted and marginalized by an increasingly vapid, self-obsessed, youth-centric culture enamored by the latest fads, celebrities and gadgets? 😉

Take that Stu and your dang door/hallway analogy!

“Then, one day it just clicked. I loved the lack of rules. Favouriting is the best thing on the planet! I could bash out a slick edit at least twice as fast.”

yep, that’s what I keep hearing. Sounds stunning. I do love a 2X slick edit. They’re aren’t many kinds of edits better than that.

*edit* sorry there’s more:

“I edit in the zone, pumped and energized and FCPX allows me to mix and cut as fast as my brain goes.”
that man’s brain has been recorded on the salt flats – and I’m here to tell you now – that brain is running fast and hot.

why is it, you might wonder, that roughly two thirds of the people boosting X are trying to sell something and the other third sound like they’ve drank something.

To be fair Aindreas, many time you sound like you drank something too. 😉

lol. Surprisingly, there are a lot of people using X who don’t post about it at all. They just, you know, use it.

Methinks you’re pretending poor comprehension skills for effect? Let me help you. It means that at least one multi editor shop in China REQUIRES their editors to work on X. And after a while, the same story unfolds there as it does everywhere. An experienced editor who originally hated it, had the oft mentioned moment arrive where it just “clicked” and after that suddenly the big deal some of us have been describing for the past four years became evident to him. To the point where yet another editor honestly feels that they’re getting TWICE the productivity and immeasurably more fun at work. It’s the same old FCP X story, just happening half a world away. That’s all.
