As someone who worked at AP when it was WTN, cutting a news feed package is hardly the most demanding of an edit system. They’ve gone for cost over anything else and I suspect they got a great deal.

[andy lewis] “In FCP7, I rarely touch the mouse. Even clip selection in the timeline and adjustment of effects parameters is all possible with keyboard shortcuts.
Is FCPX as fully keyboard-shortcut enabled as this? Cos Premier Pro certainly isn’t.”
Andy, I was not talking about which NLE has a more comprehensive set of Keyboard shortcuts but more about getting used to the magnetic timeline which is fundamentally different from FCP7 or Premier Pro.
The magnetic timeline is probably the most contentious feature within FCPX.
I would love to have the ability to create more keyboard shortcuts in FCPX.

AP went with Premiere for Cost? What editing system costs less than FCPX?

[Mark Dobson] “Not quite sure where the coercion is coming from”
In the very moment that you can not move things freely on your “working space”.
In the very moment that things get “connected”[Mark Dobson] “My main problems with editing are mental ones. “
That’s the point, Mark. And FCP helps me better to visualize and arrange my ideas.[craig slattery] “If I would edit with some kind of script, probably I would edit FCPX.
rafaelCouldn’t disagree more”
So, when you have an script then you don’t use FCPX, is that what you mean?[craig slattery] “This makes me laugh. What we do is take a bunch of footage to make a story and people watch it on their telly. It’s pretty simple.”
That’s may be your job, but no mine. I don’t make videos for the people to watch while drinking a coke and eating pop corns. Not all video production is about filling the empty time of people with an empty brain in front of a TV.[craig slattery] ” But Im very rarely wrong.”
Congratulations man.
My life is full of errors and mistakes, but I guess this is not the place to talk about.

That’s true Rafael, to be honest I make proper brainy TV for BBC Two audiences, but lets face it,at home Id rather be watching Big Brother. My argument is not about content, I cut TV all day everyday, mostly documentary for the BBC. I just think there is no ligament reason to stick with track based editing. I’m not saying its difficult, or that it hampers creativity. Its just boring and completely unnecessary, its true! I have seen the light, and its in FCPX. I predict that this argument will be obsolete in two years, because all the systems will have adopted their own version of the magnetic timeline.

That should read “Legitimate”

Ligament.
You were right the first time Craig…. your fingers were talking for you.
