[Bret Williams] “Or perhaps you’d prefer Resolve’s trimming and key framing capabilities. That’s reason enough to take a look.
“Yep… big improvement…

Oh now you’ve done it! I’m with you BTW…

For me it’s simpler, as I’ve had many discussions with people at the pub over this very topic.
1) Americans don’t understand ties… there’s a winner in every contest we support.
2) The local pub is over-run with people who are not regulars and who do not live in our neighborhood. The owner is figuring out that they tie up every table drinking water and the occasional cheap beer… preventing the rest of us from getting in…

[Jeremy Garchow] “Just to be clear, are you talking to me directly, or are you talking to the forum?”
Not directed at you. You did make the point on the one side of the coin, so I thought I’d cover the counter-point. I’ve haven’t felt any animosity from you, in fact I’ve enjoyed our exchanges…

[Jeremy Garchow] “Just wait until Resolve 11 comes out, then you can write mine.”

[Charlie Austin] “Hey, I’m not knocking it or saying it’s unsuitable for “professionals”, which is what was, and sometimes still is, said about X. I like how it looks, and it seems to work well. Though the hardware requirements are steeper than say, X, Pr or MC at this point. R11 is gonna be an awesome online/finishing tool, and I think that’s probably their plan. I doubt anyone will be cutting on-set on a laptop with it for a while.”
Didn’t mean to suggest that you were. My comment was tong-in-cheek. Remember, we always do things the same way… right up until it changes…

[Charlie Austin] “I think a lot of folks may use it, but I also think that, despite some really great features, it’s gonna take a while to mature into something that works as seamlessly as any of the “major” NLE’s. Looking forward to playing with Lightworks though. :-)”
Sounds familiar… where have I heard this before… oh yeah, thats what they said about X for the first two years…

Only if I get to write yours and Bill’s… 😉

[Jeremy Garchow] “There was at least one podcast, uncountable Tweets, a few videos, and plenty of industry press and concern about the exact reasons why FCPX shouldn’t even be considered in the days and weeks after the NAB announce as well as the official release, and if you were one of the unlucky who did like it or use it, you were suddenly an unprofessional, or were somehow doing lower quality work, or your work wasn’t as complicated. In order for people to prove that the work may have been complicated, or high quality, or just plain worth while to watch, there had to be some over compensation.”
And if you saw any problems or had the bad form to mention them, then you “Just didn’t get it”. You were stupid and too unenlightened to see the “new reality”. Really?
Having used NLEs longer than a lot of the people who made a point of bashing me for mentioning some serious omissions, it was a bit insulting.
Obviously, if I thought X was crap, I wouldn’t have purchased it immediately. Moreover, as someone who was teaching FCP even before Apple had any established curriculum… and perhaps more interesting was asked by both Apple and Peachpit to submit all the incorrect info that I had noted in their books (not just with FCP), it was even more disappointing.
I think your level of satisfaction is directly related to your experience level with NLEs and the type of work you do. I have projects where FCP X is perfect and I have no issues. I have other projects where I’m swearing at it like a Gunny Sergeant. Not because I don’t know how to use it, but because it’s more tedious at certain things than other options. Does this make X a bad choice… of course not.

Well said Andrew. Better than well said, actually. I like the way you think… balanced and yet truthful…
