How exactly has FCX improved or expedited your workflow?

It’s intel’s AVX architecture.

Ah, thank you, Walter! That makes sense. I use a hackintosh i7 at home and a Pro at the studio, and I always forget that not all Sandy Bridges are made equal. I also wasn’t quite aware of this slightly esoteric difference between the xeons and the i7s.
This makes me want the trash can/jet engine/spaceship all the more, now!

Shoot, sorry about that, Jeremy! I probably made that mistake because of some internal architecture issue. Stupid outdated brain…

HA!
I know exactly how you feel.

I am similiar with how I use shortcuts. My Avid Keyboard is very customized and I try and keep my FCP and FCPX keyboard as similar as possible. That being said, Avid is mode based which makes the keyboard more efficient imo, so that when you are in CC mode or Multicam mode you can switch from 4 up to 9 up and the keyboard setup itself will change. Other NLEs require more command programming. The X keyboard is extremely customizable but it is an extremely Mouse driven program. The trim tools aren’t as slick as Avid or Premiere CC. I have the transport on the left hand side and keep one hand on the mouse at all time, funny enough, something I learned from reading “Avid Agility” though I didn’t find it as helpful in Avid as I do in FCPX.
Once you start stacking vid clips, there are no shortcuts to control which layer of video you want to affect. Its something I hope Apple changes.

True, but they are completely keyboard controllable. Use the arrow keys to go forward or backward to the next or previous cut. Then backslash selects the cut to trim. Left bracket, right bracket or backslash toggle between left/right edges or center trims. Comma, period or numerical entries control the trim value. Shift-slash plays around the cut.

I was honored, actually.

I can’t think of anything clever to respond to all this with. But the government shutdown, so maybe I should just take the day off, anyway.
