That’s a massively broad claim.
Could you explain the assertion please?Creator of XinTwo – https://www.xintwo.com

Wait. “Probably???”
From your posts explaining why X doesn’t cut the mustard, my presumption was that you must have extensive experience with its capabilities.
You come across very “sure” of your positions and with a god bit of insiders knowledge.
“A personal choice that Apple refuses to offer it’s users.”
“I am sure the Apple engineers have a Surface Studio in their office and are blown away with how fluid the interaction can be.”
“As of now FCPX does not have the customization that Premiere Pro offers.”
And
“Having said that I highly doubt the Apple engineers are saying the Surface Studio sucks ass but who knows for sure?”
(By the way, extra congrats on the last one – perfect modern era “campaign speak!”)
This one is my very favorite:
“You can find videos of people ditching their iPads for the Surface Pro.”
I’m absolutely sure you could show me those videos, just like I could show you just as many skewed to make my points. That’s the era we live in. I can easily find videos about bigfoot, gourmet recipes based entirely on Velveeta, and faith-based rap groups.
Videos are easy to source on literally anything from any point of view.
What I’m more interested in is credibility.
After the above quoted stuff, I’m interested in yours.
Care to enlighten me on any credentials you hold that makes your comments about X operations worthy of weight?
This isn’t a hostile challenge so please don’t read it that way.
I’m honestly interested in what informs your perspective.
That very first quote above was kinda out of character compared to the rest.
Just trying to understand who I’m sparing with here.
If you want my credentials, they are all over my years of posts here. I’m kind of an open book in that regard.

I never stated in the response you quoted above that FCPX couldn’t cut the mustard. In fact you stated FCPX can do everything. I stated don’t use Photoshop if FCPX if it can do graphic design. We find out later that FCPX cannot do graphic design. So no! You cannot just use one program (FCPX) to do everything as you stated earlier. Your bad Bill not mine : )
[Bill Davis] “You come across very “sure” of your positions and with a god bit of insiders knowledge.

Insider knowledge? Below is what I actually wrote as opposed to you trying to miss quote me out of context.
Some are starting to preferring touch screens over an actual control surface. In the end it is nothing more than personal choice. A personal choice that Apple refuses to offer it’s users.
No insider knowledge Bill. Apple doesn’t offer touch screen dude. So no. You don’t have that choice no matter how hard you want to miss quote me : )
[Bill Davis] “”As of now FCPX does not have the customization that Premiere Pro offers.””
This is true. Let me see you put the effects pallet of FCPX on a separate monitor Bill. I would like to add you are taking quotes from several different responses and different posts of mine and trying to miss represent them but I caught you little buckaroo. It took me a while to find them because you have them out of context.

I don’t care about your credentials Bill. I would still think you are a tad bit loopy (for Apple) even if you worked at Industrial Light and Magic little buckaroo : )
Having said that I used to work for the City Of Detroit’s Media Center. We did many collaborations with the Cable Commission. All of it aired over local cable although a few things we broadcast over local stations. We had a full fledged studio and a suitcase studio. We had as much equipment as most of the network affiliates. We may have had more equipment than a network affiliate in a small market. What did I do? I ran and operated cameras, switcher, CCU, CG audio boards and even edited on our $80,000.00 Avid Media Composer. We bought it back in 1998. It had a Targa 2000 for the capture card and a Pinnacle Genie Board for the real-time effects. Since it was Mac based we had to also get a PCI extension chassis. Have you ever worked on the older Avids? It may seem like a lot of money for local cable but when you consider the price of CCU, Switcher, Camplex system, clear com system, monitors etc it really wasn’t all that expensive.
As of now I do more freelance web design and graphic design work than video production. Don’t get me wrong I only do about six or seven projects a year in total but I do need to run the full multi-media spectrum. Having said that I don’t think you would have cared about my background had I loved cherished and worshiped FCPX as you do. I also think others as well as myself kind of called you out a bit on your responses. Having said that my background is not going to change the fact the FCPX cannot do everything as you had claimed nor will it change the fact the OS X doesn’t support touch screen. Even miss quoting me will not change those simple facts Bill. I must wonder why you are really concerned about my background? I actually worked in radio as well. Having said that I never did get a third class operators permit from the FCC. Did you?
Did I answer your questions to the utmost satisfaction little buckaroo? Having said that would you like to know what size condoms I wear or what brand of cigarette I smoke : )

Andy,
A word of advice since you haven’t been posting on this forum for a long time and maybe you’ve mistaken this place for someplace else — it gets very confrontational here, and quite heated from time to time — but I would suggest you leave off the “little buckaroo” business, or any other name calling for that matter.
Thank you.

I call all my friends and even my girlfriend little buckaroo. They call me big buckaroo. I don’t see it as mean spirited nor do any of the people I hangout with. Having said that if you think others on this forum think it might be mean I will stop using the word buckaroo.
I actually got the name from Buckaroo Bonzia. I did not see the movie I just like to use the name buckaroo.
Sorry if it was taken offensively.
