    [Sean Thomas] “I’m on an iCloud and can see for miles. 🙂

    My mindset is, no matter what – I am going to make FCP X work for me. A mindset that some can’t seem to comprehend.”

    So if a phillips head screwdriver isn’t big enough for a certain screw, would you continue to try and make it work? Or would you go get a proper sized screwdriver?

    FCP, Premiere Pro, and Avid are all just tools to get a job done. Any professional, whether he’s doing hollywood features or weddings, should understand this. Your inability to be able to look at another brand seems very unprofessional.

    My screwdriver is big enough! Why do you assume it won’t work for me…..keyword me.

    I DO NOT need to look at any other programs. I have FCP7 that does what it has always done. I have FCP X to learn and to do my first project with in about 2 weeks.

    This post is about how FCP X is working for me and how I like it. Some have responded in disbelief that if it isn’t working for them and their clients and their workflow, that it certainly can’t work for me.

    Sorry, I do not live in your box.

    You’re right! You’ve created your own little box of apples that’s even smaller than mine! You see, in my box I’ll allow myself to use whichever editor fits my needs. All you’ve got is FCPX. If that’s all you need, that’s fine. But it’s still a much smaller box of tools than mine.

    Weird – I just said I have FCP 7 and FCP X – on two different workstations. I really don’t need anything else because I’m not complaining about either.

    The box that some pro’s seem to be in is “FCP isn’t what I thought it was going to be, so I must switch to something else, now.” I’m just saying, I’m not in that box at all.

    To your point 3:

    Can I save different versions of my project?
    Yes. Final Cut Pro X automatically saves your project during the editing process, so you never lose your work. If you want to save a version of your project, with or without duplicate media, select it in the Project Library and choose File > Duplicate Project.

    Worked fine for me I have 3 versions of the same original edit.

    Anyone who says “FCP X Working Perfectly” is disingenuous and shows they are not to be taken seriously.
