[Bill Davis] “Put them up on ebay?”
Possibly. What about renting them out so I get monthly revenue instead of just a one-time payment?

Works for me, as long as you ship useful updates to your straw man arguments, false dichotomies and confirmation biases three or four times a year.

Item 797 on my lifetime bucket list (contemplate a haiku in Yiddish) at last crossed off.
Tonight I will sleep easy.

No doubt that FCP X is a solid editor but I prefer keyframing in Resolve, keyframing has never been a strong point with X, same goes with trimming. Just my honest opinion.
-
I can see that David, but the overall efficiencies in X over Resolve still make it a better platform for me, IMHO. I just can’t get R11 to run right on a new, tricked out MBP. I think that might be a settings error on my part somewhere.
That said, I am focusing on X and Resolve going forward over Avid or Premiere…

That sounds like a lot of work. I was really hoping people would just rent what I currently have forever with me out adding anything new. Well, back to the drawing board…

[Scott Witthaus] “[Eric Santiago] “It always baffles me when not even a day in, the students are already cutting in FCPX at a decent pace.”
I see the exact same thing (we switched from FCP7 to X).”
Agreed. I teach part-time a couple of classes to high school students. I almost don’t have to teach them anything with regard to the basics of editing in FCPX. We can jump into talking about basic editing aesthetics almost immediately.
-
No doubt that Premiere Pro CC 2014 is the closest too and easiest to transition from FPC 7……it’s fast…takes virtually any codec and just plays and edits it without transcoding (i think FCP X does that too)
Really wanted to love FCP X but i come from an audio mixing world where we used the recording keyframe audio mixing in FCP 7 for nice subtle mixes..no rubber banding, range selecting or pen tools.
This doesn’t exist in FCP X without exporting the mix and setting roles which is too many extra steps for our work flow.
If X gave us tracks…without having to dig into audio nests and a mixer…they’d win a convert…
in the meantime – loving Premiere Pro – it really is FCP 7 on steroids
