The FCP-X 10.1.0 nexus?
-
[Steve Connor] “and now I find myself hoping that the new version of FCPX will be MORE like the new iMovie!”
Which is a rewrapped version of an unreleased version of FCPX! Are we confused yet?
If even half of what Alex4D has found in his code-spelunking is accurate- there’s a lot to look forward to in a couple weeks.

steve, when you say the new imovie is fast there below – do you mean in operation – that its more responsive? Because even on decent hardware – I’ve found that a bit of a bug bear with X. I do personally find the timeline more sluggish than I’d like in click drag operations.

I’ve always found iMovie to be more responsive than X with the same material on the same machines – but that’s not to say that it is.

Yes it’s definitely faster below, I’ve tried importing the same media into both programmes and the new iMovie is quicker. X can be a little sluggish in click and drag on my system sometimes, but I always assumed it was my older system.
The de-chromed interface must be helping as well.

I’d seen the same, but the new one seems substantially faster, the redraw of the filmstrip pictures and waveforms in the timeline is massively faster. I’ve done a few edits over the last few weeks on PPro CC which has a pretty smooth timeline, iMovie feels just as fast.

Great! Here’s hoping that plays through into the next version of FCP X – desluggification is probably the feature I’m most looking forward to.

Yes, exporting from iMovie is blindingly fast, even with the previous version. Way quicker than X.

I assumed that the import iMovie option was to further encourage the transition to X for the more consumer/enthusiast type customers, so they can still open the projects they started in iMovie even after they decide they want something a bit more professional and move to X.

[Steve Connor] ” I’ve been cutting on the new iMovie today,”
Has it really come this far? The iMovie I remember was single track with a very limited editorial toolset.
I’m guessing it’s way more capable now?
