Loving using compound clips in FCPX
After using FCP X since it launched in June, I am still learning the benefits of it’s feature set. For a recent promo video I did, I decided as a test to cut a version in FCP 7 and then in FCP X. I didn’t end up even getting through the cut on FCP 7, because I was flying through the edit so much more quickly in X.
The main reason I was able to speed things up so quickly was through the use of compound clips. I mention this just because I would assume many users (including myself at one point), know what these basic new features are, but are not fully embracing them. When you try to make X work like 7, it feels awkward. But when you go with it and use the tools how they should be, it is really quite amazing.

Enjoyed the spot Noam.
The orange lens flare/light leak is fun. Did you build that in motion of just figure out how to do it in the timeline?
It’s probably easier than it looks.
