Does anyone think FCPX is NOT a Professional NLE?

[Jeremy Garchow] “Obviously, FCP is entirely too professional to be on the very consumer and hardware centric apple.com homepage.”
As I quipped in a previous post, Apple just knows that pros are diligent enough that they’ll keep going until they find what they need. 😉

Lovely piece, thanks for posting. Cione is obviously a very talented guy, and except for the line “I’ve never seen an NLE offer as much with the sound side” very informative. If indeed he’s never seen this ability elsewhere then I can only suppose that he hasn’t tried looking. Ppro could accomplish the same thing without having to create compounds – just by using the track mixer. I did have to chuckle a little bit at his use of the term “magnetic timeline” when he opened up the track — as though he was doing something that any timeline in history couldn’t do as easily. Also notice how the various music clips jump lanes at cut points even though it’s the same instrument (look at 1:57) – that must be fun to work with in a large piece. However it does demonstrate the fact that FCPX has all the tools necessary to create wonderful sound – not better tools, just different tools. As always it’s up to the user to find the tool he prefers.

Apparently Bill, your hearing voices. You might want to have that checked out.
But if your referring to my post, I will try to make it clear enough for you to understand without the aid of voices. It is my contention that you can do the same things, although not with the same tools, with all modern NLE software, which is why they all earn the sobriquet “Pro” – Avid, Edius, Vegas, Ppro, FCPX, FCP 7, Lightworks – you could cut a feature or any other type of media with any of them. Each would have strengths and weaknesses that differ from the others, and it is in matching those strengths to an editor’s own workflow preferences that choice is found.
As to why I don’t personally use FCPX, the answer is the same as for Vegas or Lightworks – at the moment I don’t see a compelling reason to switch. There’s nothing you’ve ever described with X that makes me want to invest the time and energy – other than Audtions, which alone is still not enough. It doesn’t sound, from all the descriptions I’ve heard, that it suits my personal editing preferences. Neither does Avid by the way, and at least there I do have compelling professional reasons to learn it. Still I’ve avoided Avid for the past 20 years – a mere 5 years of avoiding FCPX is just a trifle compared to that.

You’re probably right Steve.
I should have written that first line as “They’ve RUINED Final Cut by making it TOO different. I’m pissed.”
I shouldn’t post first thing after a long night. ; )

I can accept that.
It’s the way millions upon millions operate.
Nothing wrong with that.
