I actually just wrote a blog on my top 5 DSLRs for video, if that helps! https://www.noamkroll.com/top-5-dslrs-for-video/

I use it nearly every day on small projects for broadcast.

Thanks for the feedback Simon!

I would have liked to have had more time with it.. At least a few days, but it had to be rushed out as per my co producers request. We’ll likely be recutting it at some point to polish it up a bit.

As for the audio, It was roughly mixed in FCP X. The audio mixing tools from logic that are built in are absolutely fantastic. With that said though, I was using an already rough mixed dialogue track from protools which had been synced with the video. All I really needed to do it X was drop in the music tracks, adjust some levels and other basic adjustments.

I’d love to see some of the material you’ve been cutting on X. Keep us all posted when some of it is viewable!

Hi Simon,

I just signed up to the cow to respond to this. I use FCPX alongside 7, MC6 and Premiere 5.5. I’m giving them all a chance, but have been really loving FCP X and it is becoming by editor of choice, especially for my own material.

I recently directed my first feature film, titled ‘Footsteps’. It was shot on the RED MX camera, and I decided to cut it in premiere due to the native support for R3D. The process was okay, premiere got the job done but I was relatively underwhelmed by the software. With that said though I was running it on a 12 core mac pro and apparently premiere is less buggy on PC’s. Regardless, I anticipate by the time I edit my next film, FCP X will be robust enough to handle it and that is likely the direction I’ll go. In contrast to many users, I love the interface and am finding it more and more difficult to go back to 7, avid, etc.

Anyways, I’m by no means a trailer editor, but I needed to give it a stab as I am starting to submit my recently completed film to festivals and hold some private screenings – and wanted to create some promo material.

FCP X was absolutely amazing for cutting this trailer. I was able to breeze through the entire film so quickly and easily, using keyword collections to mark moments from the various acts that would be applicable to the trailer.

Again, I’m by no means a feature trailer editor, but I did what I could in a very short amount of time. This was cut in about an hour and a half:

Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s encouraging to see I’m not the only one actually using this thing.
