… in another Forum one of the Avid stalwarts confessed he really couldn’t be bothered to have to learn new software…and over here in Europe we are not as good at change as you lot. I’ve said it before but just look back ten years. Everybody dismissed FCP 1 thru 5 as a “non professional” tool as they do with FCP X. I find the intense dislike of FCPX irrational and it smacks of fear to me.

If it “works” (albeit differently) then what’s the big deal?

You won’t like the primary storyline much! My old habit os boshing shots across v1,v1, v3, v4 etc had to go with FCPX. That was the thing for me that was the hardest to get my head round.

The entire clip into the timeline without having set an In and Out point first? What if the clip is twenty minutes long?
I fall into the category of some stuff I edit in the timeline and other stuff gets more accurately trimmed before dropping it in. Depends on what it is. At the end of the day I’m not sure it matters just so long as you can work the way you want.

This is worrying me…you can scrub through the thumbnails in the browser in FCP?

I have never seen that…how?

Okay I must have missed something again on my journey…”project history” buttons?

It’s just handy to be able to click on tabs. that said with FCP 7 sometimes I would have so many sequences open I could get in a muddle.

I think FCPX is more like Media 100, in a way…you really should keep the main narrative on V1…I found this hard to get used to having adopted a more audio editor “checkerboard” technique with FCP7…but my timeline would get messy for sure. 12 video layers when I probably only needed three.

FCP X has made me more disciplined and organised

Okay but come on you surely must admit it would be handy to be able to click on tabs of different projects (sequences) rather than have to back paddle and open another one.

Forgive me but how could that be a disadvantage?

I have to agree that only being able to have one sequence (sorry project) open at any one time is somewhat limiting

absolutely my experience…hatred at first but just couldn’t believe Apple could create something so bad so back i came time after time and thanks to you lot and ripple Training I emerged and wonder now what the fuss was all about. Over here in the UK the Avid community are still slating it of course.

I’m for double clicking every time. Real editors like shortcuts co a lot of them still have their roots in online no?
