It’s like anything else, it seems like such a pain before you get started. It’s really not that bad. I’m an xpro driver too and am forced into FCP by my new job. Granted, there’s no time constraint…yet, so I’m playing with it and it’s not any worse than the learning curve I faced going from M100 (rip) to AVID. Tom Wolsky has written a book that’s helping alot to de-mystify the transition. If you need speed for your project, I’d cut on the AVID. IF time isn’t as critical learn FCP it’s worth the trouble. Surrender to the dark side, Luke.
