[Scott Witthaus] “That’s why my theory is that I want the most elegant tool (FCPX for me) that does the work I do without the technology or design getting in the way.

OK folks, blood in the water! Have at it! ????
“

I agree, that’s exactly what FCPX seemed to be designed for, however I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having powerful tools on hand if you need them providing they don’t complicate the basic editing interface and I think that maybe what the team at Blackmagic are trying to do.

I’ve done a couple of edit projects in Resolve and I’ve been very impressed with it.

[andy patterson] “[James Sullivan] “FCPX is a freaking nightmare of mousing and switching between tabs. Now that you can have the inspector run the whole length of the screen they need to fix everything about how color correction happens. And No the touch bar is not the answer. (Please work with Tangent and kick BM where it hurts.)”

I agree. The FCPX GUI needs a serious overhaul.

“

It’s just had one and it’s very good, it still needs some tweaks but NOT a major overhaul. PPro is just as much of a “freaking nightmare of mousing and switching between tabs.”

[Kasey Gay] “Should I be exporting master files/uncompressed and then exporting through compressor?
“

No, you can use add compressor settings to FCPX export

Do you have Compressor installed as well

Do you know what data rate you are using? Youtube compression is very unforgiving!

[Kasey Gay] “I believe I’m making the “right choices” but still end up with export mush.
“

I think you’re probably not as I have zero issues with quality of encoding out of FCPX with footage from those cameras.

[Kasey Gay] “I’ve never tried using Premiere before, but I didn’t know if that platform offered more precision in how it exported that might help me along.”

Not really! Give us more details about exactly what you’re export settings are and post a link to an example of the problems

[greg janza] “Another example is getting hired to make a video by a company that has an in-house media department. These companies also often dictate how they want a project to be created because in the end they usually request all of the project media for archiving and potential future use. And in my area, virtually every company that I deal with is on Adobe.
“

I used to have this a lot, I’m very fortunate that I get to choose the tools now!

[Tim Wilson] “Also, if any chucklehead looks PAST the Apple FCPX forum on the Forums index page — and yes, we made sure that the FCPX forum comes BEFORE the Debates forum in the listing — then they get what they get. There’s not the least ambiguity in the names. Want to talk about FCPX? Go to the FCPX Forum. Want to debate? Come here…although I maintain that the quality of conversation here is richer and more robust, certainly more diverse, than any monocultured FCPX forum, so keep coming here anyway. ????)
“

Sums it up nicely I think, not that there’s exactly a large amount of people who want the the name change.

[Robin S. Kurz] “Completely aside from the fact that I don’t see how anyone still stuck on 7 of all things could even give two hoots about their version of OS. Because if that is in fact an issue, then it’s purely self-made, plain and simple imho.
“

Exactly!

I’ve found Premiere Pro to be pretty bad at paying back compressed 4K files on anything but the fastest Mac
