Yeah, so? One single keystroke.

Helps to actually know the app.

[Jeremy Garchow] “I hope you don’t use it as an example of the full (or empty) capabilities of FCPX.”

Unfortunately for you, my predictions came true. Oh well. Better luck next time. ????

[Neil Goodman] “I simply could not do my job on one screen especially a 15′ one at that. “

Is working on a larger screen or having a second one nicer? Pretty much a no-brainer, duh. But can one work professionally on a 15″ MacBook Pro (in FCP X)? Heck yeah. I do it almost full-time and absolutely love it. I just love it that much more when I’m stationary and have a second (or even third) screen. But X is in fact optimized for use on a small screen and I’d say that really shows. Especially since v10.3. I have to have a mobile machine and am very glad to not have to buy a desktop just to be able to work comfortably.

[Neil Goodman] “I need to be able to see all my audio tracks, sometimes in the excess of 24 or more”

So, like, maybe 26?

Unless of course one shifts the goal posts, otherwise I don’t see the issue. But if that still isn’t enough, then yeah, you might not want to buy a laptop. Obviously. But that still doesn’t mean that there are a LOT of others that are perfectly content (at least with X) with that setup, me included. Horses for courses.

[Tony West] “Remember, anything Apple is doing, somebody else always did it first so it couldn’t be them.”

????????????
And “they” of course did it much better as well. Of course. Apple hasn’t innovated anything.

[Tony West] “The problem with the comparison is, X doesn’t have a lot less than more expensive models it’s competing with.”

Bingo. Nothing less, if you ask me. Whether “out-of-the-box” or otherwise.

[Oliver Peters] “With less complexity there are often fewer features. “

The key word here obviously being “often“. I’d say a stance of the 80’s and 90’s, yes.

Whereby, ironically, I think that ties directly into FCP X’s biggest “issues”.
The “Something so simple that pretty much anyone can grasp and use can’t possibly be any good!” issue.
The “The definition of ‘PRO‘ is expensive and complex!” issue.
The “If that wedding and YouTube dude are using it, too, it clearly has to suck!” issue.
The “Who is left to call ME, the master of all expensive and complex, if they’re using THAT!” issue.
The “Damn you, Apple!!” issue.

[Oliver Peters] “And, is it a good thing for the user?”

Er… how exactly is less complexity NOT good for the user??

[Oliver Peters] “Thomas is indeed fast and knows the app well, however, he’s given this presentation quite a few times. Obviously he’s got it down.”

I recently had the pleasure of working with him (again) in London and yes, he is the fastest X editor. Period. Not only is seemingly every imaginable shortcut second nature to him (let alone every function), but he has added extensive shortcuts of his own to speed matters up even more. But of course next to his unparalleled TECHNICAL expertise, he’s just plain a superb editor. The fact that he uses X may not be what gets him his jobs, but it certainly is a contributing factor to him getting REbooked.

Oddly, people that pay the bills love FAST. ????

[Charlie Austin] “I imagine the font list preview is an OS X thing and due to their cross platform needs Adobe hasn’t hooked into it?”

Actually, it’s a Motion thing that came along for the ride with the tight integration of v5 code and routines with X. Motion has done that since v1.

Yeah… no kiddin’.

[Ronny Courtens] “I have really enjoyed reading this:”

He’s a really nice guy in person, too. And by far THE fastest Final Cut Pro X editor I have ever seen… mind-boggling.
