On the fence.. wondering if X will be a headache or a blessing…

Yep..I was aware that the Promax box was windows only..That was when I was mulling CS6..but that is way overkill for this workflow. Mahalo for the response.

Yea, I feel ya on the export thing but ya know…I always exported a Prores 422 master from earlier versions of FCP and used that to make all of the other versions I wanted to do using Compressor anyway. So…the different export features, while I was aghast when I saw them missing, really didn’t come into play.
And I’ll tell ya what…the share for Vimeo and YouTube are actually very good quality! If you don’t have compressor on the machine…or Adobe Media Encoder (which screams on my MBP…not sure how it works on my Mac Pro because I don’t have it installed on my main edit machine)…you’ll be limited in your transcoding availability. But hey…for another $50 you can get Compressor and do anything you need to!
But for what they’re doing, they’ll be fine with what comes with it. FWIW, when you do a share -> export media, you can do a little selecting of different methods. Just like exporting in legacy FCP to a degree.

I concur with most of the posts – FCPX should be perfect for your needs. I think it does a better job with stills than Premiere – so easy to do some simple moves and quick color timing without buying plug-ins etc. Like Nathan said you can create a template that you just plug the new shots into every time – fast and fun!

You’re referring to FCP 7, right? Because the function is EXACTLY the same. Sorry if you didn’t know the old tools… 🙂

I was thinking about this for some other sorts of “value added” videos for an event facility of mine that seem like they’d have a similar template feel as your parasailing friends.
Wedding video highlight package, give a shot checklist to a freelance shooter, they deliver a drive of numbered shots to me or an intern, and bam, a few minutes later the video assembly line rolls out another one.
Hmmmm. -
Funny..I did not know about that one..Good thing we run on “Island Time” out here 🙂

Craig, with all due respect, they changed the way one edits, so they could easily have supported this new version and a re-write of FCP as FCP8 if they wanted to. I don’t think they’d have struggled to find the resources to do it.
A big part of the debate here is they did it their way and actually expected the whole fraternity to go ‘ooog, super awesome’ but instead a fair chunk went WTF?
With regards to the OP, if his clients have no editing previous then having to learn FC10 or having to learn PP is exactly the same, they will have to learn from scratch. I’m really sorry but learning PP is not frigging rocket science. The advantage PP offers over FC10 is that the skills and approach they learn are transferable to other NLEs if that is what hey want to do in their futures. FC10, not so much.

Oooog!???!
Sorry. Ooooh.

If you select a clip in 7 and command T it does exactly the same thing.
