FCPX is the best NLE on the market
It’s probably not, but I thought the subject heading might get a bit more traffic through the forum, it’s been uncharacteristically quiet in here over the last few days!

If by “market” you mean the App Store – I’ll agree, FCPX is the best NLE available today on the App Store.

We could have categories?
“Best NLE with an unchanged interface from the 1990’s”
“Best Rental only NLE”
etc, etc

“FCPX is the best NLE on the market or not: the debate”
Changing the forum name to that would probably re-invigorate things a bit here.

Project workflow is everything.
The current project I have is about 10 minutes of corporate/industrial of 6 different shooters delivered greenscreen talking head footage, of 14 people. Slightly different lighting and slightly different audio, but all professional.
I don’t get to use it for this project because I’m waiting for capital approval, but the benefit X would provide is the way audio is contained in the video. Right now, in PP.cs6 each speaker’s audio is on a different track, so I can mix them, but, because it’s a jump-cutty style, each speaker’s audio requires 2 tracks, so the J and L cuts are nifty. CTRL-S (split editing) in X is simply a very good idea.
I’m open to fixing my CS6 workstyle if someone has a better idea.

Things will liven up a bit when Resolve 11 is released or when 10.1.2 comes about. Been past the three month period, perhaps this week.

I’ll give you this: It’s without question the best NLE for the price. For what you pay it does astonishing things. Just not things I need for my workflow. Which is sad because I would love it if my NLE quiver cost only $299.

The NLE I’m using, none of the PLUGINS are that cheap. Many are more expensive than the editing app itself! Stupid…

I know exactly what you mean, Shane. I was always astonished when companies would charge four and five times the price of the software for training. If I ever spend three to four time the software price on training then it’s time to put me away. (Some would argue that time is now.)
