[Neil Goodman] “My fav PPRO workflow enhancer is the ability to pancake timelines. Cant do that in FCPX and thats one place where PPRO excels above the others. Its doable in Avid in a different form but adobes implementation is dope.
“

Agreed, FCPX really needs the ability to edit from other projects. Also tilde key to fullscreen your currently selected window is extremely useful and the Lumetri Colour panel is a great first step to having Speedgrade built directly into PPro.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “But Steve, for type acceleration movement alone, say in mood film previz scenarios (never mind faking camera moves): if it’s a choice between the dreaded rent and X, we might as well have an adult conversation on the short comings. X can’t keyframe its way out of a paper bag. That’s an issue.”

You don’t have to sell me, I’m with you on this!

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I’m not being mean but, guys, seriously:”

But you have to rent that functionality 🙂

[Bill Davis] “Calm down Mitch.

Don’t be like the religious victim thinkers who run around yelling about how their faith is “under attack” “

That made me laugh for reasons of irony 🙂

[Tony West] “The folks that I see on X are older and more established editors with a firm grip on their client base.
The young folks I see use whatever they were on in college.

To me it would seem like a pain to start in one program and then transfer to another. I wouldn’t want to do that personally. Seems like too much work.”

I know several Camera Ops of varying ages who are using it, some of which have never edited before and at least 5 of my Production Company clients are using it without any encouragement from me, all of them used FCP7 previously.

We need a forum name change “Apple FCPX – The Metaphors?”

[Steve Connor]

Yes and i like it!

[Bill Davis] “The event structure in X is super flexible.
Make an event JUST for the animation – put a “Z” on it’s name – it sorts at the end of all your events out of sight when not being used and you just keep it closed. Simple.”

Sorry Bill, I don’t mean to be picky but how is that simple compared to a single mouse click to “import image sequence”?

[Steve Connor]

If it was the other way round, you’d be saying ” see look how easy FCPX can import an image sequence in one single click”

[Bill Davis] “realized that magnetism BY ITSELF was an actual edit function that could save me HUGE amounts of work.
“

For the uninitiated, please explain how that saved you work
