Not bad for an NLE that some people think isn’t “professional”

No sig on my posts as it’s apparently very old fashioned

I really don’t think there’s any disagreement about this aspect. I think it now boils down to whether or not you want tracks.

Assuming you believe that your only NLE options are FCPX or PPro CC… otherwise, there seem to be other good choices on the field (Avid, Lightworks, Resolve (someday), Edius, Vegas, etc).

I know, we do still get the odd post on here though and the thought still remains amongst a lot of Editors I know

Yep. And to the earlier point, a lot of editors are still scared of the timeline. People on the fence sometimes give more credence to opinions of people who don’t use X rather than those who do. Odd. This was a pretty cool article and workflow though. I’d like one of their systems please. 😉

Very solid system and great explanation of the workflow involved. Going to write Santa and ask for a system like that, just another 4 months to Christmas!

I disagree, the most popular reason people don’t like it is because they heard somewhere it sucks. The second most popular is that Apple is untrustworthy and could just EOL it at any second, third most popular, the interface is too cute and toy like, fourth, no tracks.

OK fine, it made the top five. I take back my disagreeing.

Or clean and elegant. Certainly better than Premiere which feels plastic and overly forced technical looking. Give me simple, clean and elegant any day.

No, that won’t be the case until the UX is tweaked to be in line with Yosemite. It’s still got that heavy iOS6 vibe going on.
