    What I find interesting are the folks attempting to shoe horn their entire workflow around this paradigm of editing because Apple thinks this is the way it should be. Apple launched this app knowing exactly what it was and what it will be. They’re not so disheveled as a company to launch a pro app deficient of everything that makes it professional. It doesn’t seem rational to me to adapt an already very efficient workflow to accommodate a piece of software that will never be relevant in my line of work. I just don’t get it. Media Composer and Premiere seem like a better use of time.

    Cost of buying FCP X…

    $299

    Cost of buying tools to extend the capabilities of FXP X to match those of FCP 7…

    $???

    Being told by a 14-year old how to arrange iMovie windows to look more like FCP X “for more professional editing skills”…

    Priceless.

    Can you switch the windows around like that in FCPX, and make it look like iMovie?
