“[Bill Davis] “The largest barriers to wanting to use X are editors using it and not wanting to use it again, NOT how the software operates.””
well said Bill, well said.

[Charlie Austin] “Seriously, I’ll cut different spots in a couple NLE’s and CMD-TAB from one to another. Sure, there’s the occasional KB shortcut mixup, but it’s really no big deal.”
I’m not sure how that could be true.

come on. the keyframing is a looney mushroom out of the clip. For god’s sake look at it. If you scroll the timeline, it’s bye bye to keyframes.
your keyframe apparatus may sit squashed under attached clips. am I seriously the only person here?
ok rant over and away – but the keyframing is barking

I haven’t opened 7 in six months. X is just the most wilfully insane stupid thing anyone has ever seen.

as long as there is space and time for died in the wool former FCP7 infantry to repeatedly headbutt the very soul and mind of FCPX this forum will never die.

minor rant – but this is stupid though right?
any modern VA editing system that has modes, the manipulation keyframe timeline, and god knows what else growing out of every clip like an elephantiasis tumor top hat is maybe not completely on the money yes? And then there’s the square tomato colour wheel. Surely the thing is that X is so insanely moronic in so many odd ways.
to get a proper colour corrector in X you have to float the window or have the plug in GUI interfere with the scopes. X feels so weirdly determined by its physical shape. And apparently apple are loathe to alter it. so you have a grey strip with the most ridiculous timecode reader god ever invented. maybe there is a floating timecode reader now.
tens of thousands of editors are going to land on apple, out in the world, with both feet, for X, until the sun goes cold. Apple went up their own ass on simplicity, rigidity and the in house hothouse, some people followed them. Also have they successfully split temporal and spatial smoothing options there in the last release because I’m not totally sure. Just take a moment and look at that keyframe system architecture.
No, I’m really not joking you. Seriously – try and look at it steadily for more than ten seconds.

come on. it’s circus carny stuff. Apple put their back into a fifteen year old 3D text sell. Where are the keyframing tools? Why is X still as stupid as it is for keyframing?
what’s more important for title typography? A back 3D bevel, or the ability to control its motion on screen? A decent keyframe controller? You’re all living in a la la land where you have a public joke in terms of keyframing. Surely the very best title object is a title object you have some keyframe control of right?
FCPX is the world’s last best joke in terms of keyframing, and you’re all left blinking and trying to ignore it. It’s a brain damaged key frame system. The GUI exposing the keyframes is itself brain damaged.
The fact that you end up with ripple training selling wallmart litre mayonnaise copper distressed bevel one time offer type styles on QVC tells you everything you need to know about the heart of FCPX.
the key stakeholders don’t even care to touch or remedy basic failings. They won’t look to code a keyframe solve – they just want to sell vitamin pills.
