Well I enjoyed reading that. I think there will be some X-jobs, but that is not the point. It’s really hard to trust Apple on their comitment towards the Pros, that much is true here.
The whole thing reminds me of Google Maps being kicked off the iphone. It took some dudes ending up in the desert with no water and just the iphone to bring back google maps.

But what about the editing and trimming in FCPX? When a simple task takes one or two steps more than in another system, I consider it a major problem, as you do these things 100’s of times -a-day…

Example: Timewarp with bezier-curves… I can’t imagine that you would be as fast opening up Motion an tweaking as it was done in Legacy and Avid, or is it?

Then the timeline: I hate thos rounded Edges of the clips! How are you supposed to know on what frame exactly this dude rests with rounded edges?

Lastly: the skimming thing is nice, but it tends to slow down your Cursor and drives you nuts with sound and picture. Just my opinion.

All this togheter, I still prefer working on the fast and tipsy FCP7 over X and I am so far not persuaded by the FCPX-Believers, for X to perform on complex and big Productions.

Is there anyone out there who really enjoys the Edit/Trimming in X who knows well the alteratives Avid and Legacy?
