To Editors thinking of switching to FCPX 10.1
-
Yes, I’m saying editors don’t use FCPX. Not in LA, not in NY. Not for film, not for broadcast. This is a fact.

So why did you use it then?

I bought it day one, returned because of no XML, and unsuitability. Watched it develop. I’m always trying to be ahead of the curve, so I thought why not. I can always transfer to Smoke. But I got stuck in it because of the broken and ever-changing XML.
It’s fine, I have a rather funny workaround for this should anyone want to transfer out to Smoke. You can get the Student version free which I think has virtually everything.
I just don’t want kids to learn FCPX, Avid, Smoke, Prem. These are what professionals use. Davinci Resolve and Scratch for color.
The whole apple line is being weeded out and rightly so. Quality and stability trumps all.

Except one that’s not proven as there, from various post I have read around the web – and on here – professional editors in NY, LA and London using FCP X on a daily basis to create broadcast work.

That’s just not true. Not in LA and not in NY, not in London. Some news outlets use it, the reporters can edit because it’s easy to use. Internet yes, Broadcast and film, no.
And let me just say, I’m sure the program has been used to cut stuff that has appeared on television. But I’m talking about major primetime, studio films, even indie it’s not used. I’m an Indie NY/LA mainly based director, indie film absolutely does not FCPX.

Er… you might want to double check your facts first.
BBC 2’s The Culture Show has been cut on FCP X almost exclusively since the start of 2013. According to the senior editor who posts here occasionally. If that has changed I think its down to politics at the BBC rather than problems with the SW.
If you read between the lines of Larry Jordans Amsterdam Supermeet keynote , there is a multi million dollar movie currently begin cut on X – and doing well and quickly thanks to programs like Sync and Link from IA.

Last post on this thread for me because I’ve stated the facts for which are undeniably true. I mean I barely touched the tip of the iceberg, I could go one for pages. To all of the young ones who read this, and to the one person I convince to go with Avid, Prem, or Smoke. You’re welcome and God’s speed.

Not sure what this person is intending by starting this thread, but to add another “fact” – I regularly add at least a dozen layered and processed .wav files to my FCPX 10.1 projects without any problem.
Fact!
