FCP X – 15 films/5 days/clunkety clunk!

[David Battistella]

Thanks for sharing with the community.

I find that everything you stated is pretty much right on and to be expect. Cheers for taking the plunge and getting the stuff out the door.

Oliver.

I agree with you on this. I’d like to see something that pushes all of the processing power to the timeline to keep up with keystrokes. I can feel as I get faster in the software, the timeline can feel sluggish.

Freaky timeline zooming needs to be fixed.

Some things seem to be inherent in the design. For example, if you are in an Event list view, the selected clip is still shown as a filmstrip at the top of the Event browser (on a second display). When you click into a typing area (like notes or scene) the image must be updated, so there’s about a 1/2 sec. lag before you can start typing. This is pretty much instant in FCP 7 simply because there’s no extra tax on the GPU, since no image has to be loaded.
