[Ben McCarthy] “what do they use (Adobe Premier)?”

Both the Coen Brothers and Fincher editorial teams have used Premiere Pro for the past few films as well as Netflix projects. Final Cut Pro 7 (and earlier) before that.

Of course there are others, but it just made me chuckle that Neil could remember that Focus Features distributed a couple of those films, but couldn’t recall that “Focus” was the name of one of the features from Focus Features. 😉

[Andrew Kimery] “but couldn’t recall that “Focus””

He just wasn’t able to focus in on it ☺

Its funny because I thought that was the name but then couldnt bring myself to believe I was correct because A movie called Focus, made by a company named Focus Films sounded like something Id come up with while I was stoned ☺

Ok seems FCPX is very capable of cutting features. So what type of projects is FCPX not good for?
