Been playing with it a bit – love the new picture fade handles (Vegas has had these for 15 years lol). They still haven’t fixed the audio fade handles – fades are almost like on/off – terrible. FCPX’s fades are fantastic – get this fixed BMD.
Overall seems a bit faster/smoother – can’t wait to see future updates…

Yeah Moto X is much nicer looking though not near the functionality.
And WTF APPLE!?! I hope heads roll for this streaming fiasco – sound cutting in and out, totally freezing my Apple TV, lock ups – just the worst streaming event of all time – at least the U2 song played but then froze again during Tm talk…

You got me on that one! I was about to go ballistic lol – Adobe was Windows only in the early PPro days and Cineform’s Prospect was the only way to get a decent “pro” workflow with Premiere – I was probably the first person to ever cut a 2K L/R eye project in Premiere/Prospect using the Cineform codec – those .avi’s still look great today.

Of the three DNxHD, ProRes and Cineform – Cineform is a far better codec comparing size/clarity and should have been bought by Adobe 10 years ago. Happy it’s being better integrated but Pro Res is such a pleasure to edit and render with and has really won over the entire post world for final delivery etc.

I agree – throwing Resolve at a grand into the mix is silly. Fact is with SliceX, I see no need to ever use Resolve again. I like the color tools, scopes and accurate delivery of FCPX and with SliceX I can power window away if needed. Also the built in FX, transitions etc in FCPX are far more useful than than what’s included in Premiere. I no longer need Colorista etc in FCPX and the variety of 3rd party FX etc for FCPX at affordable prices is stronger too.

I don’t think so. I think it’s 30 for late pays etc and only 2 when you cancel your CC – found that out yesterday 🙂 Good riddance CC.

In the long run this is really bad news for Adobe and Avid because as FCPX proves itself viable in a wide variety of settings it kills the others at $299 per seat!
There will come a point where Editors won’t have a choice because companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to save money and cut costs wherever possible. An Editor won’t be able to specify a more expensive editing system just because they “like” it more. Any facility with a lot of seats would save a lot of money by using FCPX over the competition – the new “low cost” Avid annual maintenance plan is the total cost of FCPX!
I’m not saying all other systems will disappear because FCPX is cheaper, just that over time post departments will have to prove why they need more expensive systems especially as tape delivery wanes…

Lol… totally agree. The cool thing with FCPX is al the creators out there making some cool plug-ins and fx for a very affordable prices. Never liked it when an add-on cost most than the app your adding it to.

Concur – I’m using Memory Clean right now and I can clean the memory while having FCPX open which is cool because it eats it up quickly…
