Perhaps adding a few filters here and there run better on FCPX, but as a full fledged NLE, I would pick Premiere every time. I’m finding rock solid performance, a search tool that *actually searches your metadata* not just keywords, better markers, and the killer feature: Tracks.
Not being trackbased made FCPX a dealbreaker for me, as I use tracks to organize so many things (subtitles, lower 3rds, graphics, singling out clips for effects, etc…).
I like the trim function in FCP, but that was the only thing in the software I found intuitive, and liked.
There are a few things I miss from FCP7 (such as moving clips up and down tracks with Opt-Up arrow) but they’re few and far between.
And you can have more than one project open at a time…
So far, and this could change, and I’m shocked I’m saying this, but Premiere CS6 is the editor I was waiting for with FCPX.

I know someone who gutted a G4 and still uses it as their main case.

This is the cheap camera that I’ve been dreaming about for years. There must be so many companies that are furious at BMD. GOOD RIDDANCE to H.264 acquisition.
Between Adobe CS6, Autodesk, RED, and Black-Magic design exploding the post world, what the hell is the post world going to look like in 3 years?

Resolve provides a bunch on options in the Render tab. If you’re importing an FCP7 XML, it’ll default to a FCP easy setup, which may not be what you want if you just want to reconnect. Sometimes a regular “Source” render is better for certain situations, but may require more rendering.

Out of curiosity,
What in the world are you guys working on that needs you to go from a single big file, color correct, and THEN go INTO to FCPX?
It’s been hurting my brain all morning, and I can’t get it out of there.

Could never get into caipirinhas, or cachaça. Give me a good rhum over it any day.
Don’t expect more XML support, business the support in there already is good (if you don’t think so, walk back to the early color days with me).
For me, 4k monitoring is what I want. Just so I can say to clients, Yes we’re monitoring in 4k.

Really curious about this, as the power draw is 195W, which is great for non-cubix setup, where the amount of cards start to tax the mac pro power supply.
Comparing it to the the GTX 285, 205W & 240 Cuda cores, The GTX 680 is 195W & 1536 Cuda cores.
I’m very curious, but this might look like the new base card, (one that would slide in very nicely in the PC box I’ve slowly been build as well…).
