FCPX users – stand up and be counted!

I converted and erased FCP 6. I love it. I’m able to work more efficiently for broadcast.
-
For fun and the experience I used it (for the first time for $) for a sub one minute web piece with very uncomplicated audio. Also made the gfx in Motion 5. For some reason going between X and Motion and back again seemed to cause some crashes, but other than that – for this particular project – I found it if be fast and efficient. So it’s not entirely without merit. I just wish I had some idea where they are going with this.

We use it on 4 machines pretty much exclusively now. There is one last machine that has FCP legacy installed, but it is collecting dust, unless I have to 7toX some project, which worked fine so far.
FCPX has been used here on several documentaries (up to 52-minutes, 7000 clips), global commercial-campaigns, cinema commercials, corporate, short-films, and even as a LIVE-text-tool …you name it. It is more efficient and fun to work with.
Although it is not finished yet (e.g. HDSDI preview missing) we find the advantages it has in mediamanagement and editing beat the missing features easily. FCP7 is simply not an alternative, maybe PP or Avid.
We also use Motion90% as our compositing/effects-tool. AE hardly gets opened, basically only when we

I think I know where you’re going. Perhaps. You didn’t want to like it but you do. Albeit the crashes which may have been due to fonts. I’ve seen that happen in version 1.0.2. Fcpx has the mark of mark of making editors out of everyone. Which it’s not. Tech in general is making the role of the editor change. We all know it.

At its present price point I would love for it to work. Who wouldn’t? But the reality is that for the vast majority of my work – just from a delivery standpoint and setting aside any other pecadillos – it just wouldn’t work for me. In this one narrow circumstance I thought it might. And it did, for the most part, nicely.

I am a professional editor and filmaker and I have just completed a couple of excellent videos using FCPX. It is an awesome software and is making my work easier and helping me cut faster. It has some quirks that you have to work around (link the concept of “events”) especially when you are a legacy FCP7 user like I was but once you get into the program and start using it you will not be able to go back to the old version. And now that I have overcome my prejudices to the event terminology I like the way it manages media. FCPX is an amazing next step in editing and it’s making me money.

Since I shifted to FCPX I’m not going to get back. Now I’m ten times faster than before. I wish Apple continues to develope this amazing software.

Exclusively using FCPX and Motion… finished about 30 videos so far, mostly corporate stuff.
Though I still do miss some basic functionality that should exist in X, I wouldn’t EVER want to go back to FCP7.Keep it coming Apple.

Using it it here as well along with FCP 7. I tried to install the latest Avid Media Composer Trial on my mac and can’t get it to run. Just keeps crashing.
