Again, someone applying their views and truths to mine.
I will say it again, “FCP is Workgin Perfectly……for me.” Keyword me.

[Chris Jacek] “Sean, I think the danger in your mindset is that you may be willing to live and die with FCPX, but as you mentioned, many are in great disagreement with you. The majority will drive the market in whatever direction they want, and it you stick with FCPX, you will start to lose relevancy in the market. Just ask anyone who exclusively hitched their horse to Fast, Media 100, or Amiga.”
Mindsets can change. For now, I’m going to use FCP X on a project. What’s the big deal. I still have 7 if it doesn’t work out. I will not loose relevance in the market because I use X.
I too hitched my horse to M100, when it was dead I went to FCP. When FCP was almost dead, I went to FCP X. FCP 7 will be phased out as X becomes more mature. It’s a migration process, not a “on the day that Apple released FCP X, my life ended” situation.

Silly question – where do you put plugs/filters/effects in FCP X

To your point 3:
Can I save different versions of my project?
Yes. Final Cut Pro X automatically saves your project during the editing process, so you never lose your work. If you want to save a version of your project, with or without duplicate media, select it in the Project Library and choose File > Duplicate Project.Worked fine for me I have 3 versions of the same original edit.

Yea – I’m just throwing some of the crap back.
You must have missed my 🙂
On most forums that means: joking, funny, tongue in cheek. I’ll do a form search to see what it means here. 🙂

Ethan – that’s the way I would do it. Did an entire sequence years ago in AE. I had different sized boxes all moving with keyframes to form the final image.
A plug-in would be nice if it had enough controls for customization.

Weird – I just said I have FCP 7 and FCP X – on two different workstations. I really don’t need anything else because I’m not complaining about either.
The box that some pro’s seem to be in is “FCP isn’t what I thought it was going to be, so I must switch to something else, now.” I’m just saying, I’m not in that box at all.

It could be a one-time cache or indexing situation. Once it did what it did, everything can be sorted very quickly.
I assume it’s similar to what iTunes does when it first indexes your MP3 library.

Yes – just tried what you said. Opened up music for the first time. Over 5,000 SFX, music, VO, etc. all opend up very quickly. I clicked on the FCP SFX folder (1,337 items) then the Time sort botton and the beach ball came up for about 1 min.
How many items were in your sort list, what computer and specs?

My screwdriver is big enough! Why do you assume it won’t work for me…..keyword me.
I DO NOT need to look at any other programs. I have FCP7 that does what it has always done. I have FCP X to learn and to do my first project with in about 2 weeks.
This post is about how FCP X is working for me and how I like it. Some have responded in disbelief that if it isn’t working for them and their clients and their workflow, that it certainly can’t work for me.
Sorry, I do not live in your box.
