Why do users say FCP X is fast? Some new numbers.

[Tom Sefton] “You might not want to believe me,”
I never said anything about believing you. I merely stated that I have contrary experiences. YMMV. No one NLE is everything to everybody and never will be.

[Tom Sefton] “However, with high res raw footage it just hasn’t performed as well for us as premiere has. It slows down.”
It’s funny. I had the exact experience in a Premiere job (CS6). Cutting a bunch of Epic 5k and Premiere could not keep up with me. I would move around the timeline and get these “accessing media” dialogue (something like that. It was a while ago). Frustrating. Running Premiere with that footage, it always felt like a big crash was coming. I hit command-S after every change I made just to be sure. A thoroughly underwhelming experience.

I don’t doubt that, but you do realize that CS6 is pretty ancient by current standards. CC2015 is a significantly improved tool with improved performance. Making comparisons to CS6 is like making comparisons to FCP X 10.0 or FCP 7.

Just to add my 3 cents (Canadian currency sucks), at home I work entirely on all three NLEs and to date still find RED files to be smoothest on FCPX.
Ive had to test an 1100+ R3D clip feature for the Director (slash Editor…kill me now 😛 )to see which would be best for him since he’s attempting a rough to final cut on an 2012 iMac.
In the end he opted to go with Premiere since he was comfortable in it.
I however found FCPX almost painless across the board.
R3D and FCPX has always been the best combo I find as far as minimal CPU resources. -
Thank you Oliver from preventing me from making a snarky response, while on vacation no less!
Everyone here has their biases, and that’s honestly some of the particular flavor that makes this forum so interesting. In fairness and candor, I put mine clearly in my signature. Others might consider something similar.

You are an “employee” of Adobe correct Dennis?
I think an employee should state that.
I also think there is a difference between an employee and a satisfied customer. One of those has the ultimate bias.
I appreciate your input on these topics though ; )

Too bad Premiere CS6 was the last version to not require perpetual rental with your projects going “poof” when you quit paying. Otherwise keep forking it over to Mr. Burn the Boats like some hypnotized lemming. Won’t be getting to try that CC 2015 experiment.
I work for myself, a corporation of one. Fortunately, I get to make my own decisions for this company. Prejudice clearly stated.

[Steve Connor] So us CC subscribers are “hypnotised lemmings”? – nice!
As program makers we should be acutely aware of the manipulation of lemmings in the classic Disney film “White Wilderness” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Wilderness_%28film%29)
If lemmings could be hypnotised they might do something suicidal but I dare say it is far easier to hypnotise humans. That said, I do not agree that a subscription model is suicidal and that it is perfectly fine for many.
Perfect for all? Of course not. No software or payment model is. Adobe software has been historically hugely cracked and pirated and without control of OS and online stores they really did have to look at a different model.

“When do you think the first price increases will be, if that has not happened already?
