I found it more annoying than anything. Is there a way to turn it off? lol
My primary annoyance with this gui is all that automation…running the mouse over a clip and hearing weidhwuiefhurehgfireug started to grate.
It would be a nice surprise if it was a custom feature.

The elimination of a click though? I can skim through any media with the source viewer. I’m forced to click or slog through jkl keys but it’s not a feature that’s “missing” anywhere else…just the click

[tony west] ” If I didn’t like so many things it could do I would have thrown it out the window.”
But really, what can it do that others can’t? It seems to be the price point and iron control of the timeline is all that separates it. Maybe it’s easier to use to some extent, has the media management stuff 1-2 shots, (just off the top of my head) but none of the others are really that challenging and offer things that seemingly to me far outweigh the new features…
Are those the things that separate it for you?

[Bret Williams] ” They need to get a product like FCP X onto the iPads AND android iPads before Apple does”
why?
Maybe a control surface app…but why port a whole thing to an ipad?
I’m sure I’ll get called a luddite all over again for disagreeing with this but it would seem more like a headache than an actual robust tool. I can see it for very VERY simple web based content for the kids or on set conveniences but not a practical platform for an edit suite unless the screen is 15 inches+ and it has a wack of ports and by then why not just make it a tablet/laptop which is already available…

My birthday! Sweet action…thanks

[Steve Connor] “I hope they don’t in the future.”
For once we agree
I would have zero confidence their products would be around in 3 years

If true. Bye Apple!

I’m sticking with what works. There are days rendering can cause my blood to boil over, and non-native format editing can get annoying with the extra legwork (2 things that aren’t really all that improved with X) it’s nothing to the complete blunder and annoyance of the position tool and iron control of the mag “timeline”. Adobe is a good alternative when needed but there isn’t a desire to jump ship, and I’m going to invest some time trying out MC6 to shake my squirrel cage and get experience for places that might require the know-how. But FCS will be my home for the foreseeable future.
The freedom of 7’s multitrack outweighs any of the perceived improvements in X. Until Apple breaks 7, there really isn’t a reason for me to leave it.
Anyone know when Lightworks will release a mac beta? I haven’t kept up with development lately…

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Also funny to hear Rick Young call FCPX a “full featured editing system” even though they have discussed exactly that it is not.”
Absolutely made no sense in the context of the entire interview.
Came across as a Stockholm Syndrome talking point as it was just a throw away….
My god! Spielberg still uses a moviola? I thought Munich was the last film he used that for…talk about ‘old hat’

Sorry I’m late to the party, but if you had a choice right now Herb, what camera would you recommend or choose below 15k?
