All of the above and improved media management so we can get a clean/trimmed timeline out for archiving etc. from either/or a Project AND a Event.

Agree with you Oliver – but think the folks who will like FCPX the most are those who’ve used nothing else. I’m currently “polishing” 2 completed feature films in X – one which was brought in from 7 and one which has lived in a couple of NLE’s last of which was actually FCPX. My biggest gripe with these full timelines are they are a lot more sluggish than I’d like – I had to go back and re-export the 7 show in 4 separate reels to get it up to speed. I really think FCPX is fine for long form work but only if it’s done from scratch and in a very careful and organized way. I’ve already experienced your prior issues with media management…
After playing with Lightworks on the PC and seeing the Mac version at NAB I do think it’s the most filmic NLE I’ve seen since my flatbed days in the 80’s – it’s by far the most flexible and customizable NLE I’ve ever seen and perfect for long form narrative work – I plan on giving it a serious go on a future project.

Another thing to consider is whether you need true 10bit video out say for a Dreamcolor or other high-end monitor that supports 10 bit display port. You cannot get 10bit video out of any of the GeForce cards – you must use a Quadro card. So if true 10bit color while editing/color timing is important than you’ll need to go Quadro. This is not a hardware issue but a driver issue as nVidia is protecting their pro card business.

Double shot of expresso for breakfast will do that sometimes…

I run a worldwide database on every human on the planet and their day to day activities so you’re gonna have to trust me on this one.
Sorry should have said “many” which could be a little or a lot but the “majority” of the camera tests I’ve been looking at on Vimeo that mention their NLE are using FCPX.

Yes if it’s all in focus it must be video – if one side of an eyeball is soft THAT’S FILM!!!

I agree – I immediately felt sorry for Canon and Nikon after watching this… a game changer in the truest sense. I’ll take 3 with a side of Zuiko please…

Looking very good – I couldn’t help thinking that they just put DSLR’s on life support…
By the way, does anyone know the “official” crop factor of this camera?

Sorry I couldn’t help myself – it felt weird and somehow like I was betraying an Adobe product that isn’t even shipping yet by posting something positive about FCPX lol…
