Apple simple doesn’t take care of improvements of FCPX in a major way that other manufactures do.
In 2018 for me it’s still not possible to use AV output without hiccups with Blackmagic devices no matter which version of the Blackmagic Desktop video I use. And that with an Imac 2017 retina 5K 4,2 I7. Preview with a client is an embarrassment. No problem with Premiere pro, Media Composer or Resolve. Still no only audio transition without workaround. Still old bugs. Is that Apple we love of taking care of stay ahead in our profession? -
I think a lot of editors use all 3 packages, there is no clear winner in 2014.
Media composer 8.2 is a strong release with a lot off small but for me big improvements.
I really like Fcpx but it is difficult to make a good audio mix within the software, I really like mixing with hardware controllers and a master compressor only works within a compound clip. Keyframing is also not a strong point. Struggling with playback, always after 2 seconds when I push playback even with Proress. In front of a client not so nice.But I like being creative with all the motion plugins and fast color correction. Premiere, great audio mixing, fast editing, but Speedgrade links are to slow if the sequence is big and has adjustment layers. I hate starting up on big projects with a lot of clips, always have to sort on name and not always save project settings, strange timeline behavior with ripple delete and swapping clips it is not always consistent. But warp stabilizer is great. Generate fast and simple titles, dynamic link to after effects a lot to like.
Media composer, slow effects engine. Slow UI, but a lot off things you can do in MC, no other package has FluidMorph, now thumbnail caching is really great in 8.2. With Baselight and Red 5.5 it is a strong package.So don’t be narrow minded and say one is the best use the strengths of them all, its a win for you and your clients.

I’am really glad with the bug-fixes, I had problems with open GL on 7.2.1.
That shows that Adobe really cares about their users, during NAB we get updates.I think they are really ahead in terms of support, CC surely works for professional users.

Be sure that when you update to Mavericks to set your Security & Privacy settings to:
Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere.Than you can use the uninstaller within the 7.03 installation.

Too many NLE’s made me paronioa, it’s about choices. Premiere is still a disappointment for me. It is about Media Composer and FCP X I think both has a future for me. The combo MC and Baselight is a winner. FCP X with all the plug ins is a fresh new approach for fast short clips.

Hi,
Watch this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lubf5QBxjbA
Or install Magic Bullet MisFire it is a Free Plug-in. It has a Vignette option.
And of course Baselight is superb, it is the best CC for Media Composer/Symphony.
Greetings Rob
