I understand there are workflow issues and other things, but for how most people edit today and in the future, FCPX is perfect. I'm glad they released FCPX before it was ready, because if they waited another year I would have gone with FCP7 and then I would have been a grumpy old editor bitching about FCPX when it was released. I've never used anything else to edit other than iMovie and FCPX is not iMovie, iMovie is very limited in what it does.

I was fortunate enough to be going to school and just starting out my path in editing when Apple released FCPX, I also worked for Apple retail at the time so I got it for free along with FxFactory Pro plugins for free.

The software is just a tool, it's what you know about editing that really makes the difference. When people argue about editing software I like to point out that Stanley Kubrick, Alfred Hitchcock and all the other great film makers used razorblades and tape.

I, like many others, needed to upgrade to a reliable, backwards compatible 64bit NLE, so I went with Adobe. Small things like being unable to open FCP7 project files made all the difference in the world, never mind any kind of radical 'iMoviesque' UI change.

Does it work? Can it do the job? The answer, upon FCPX's first release, was no, and that's what cost Apple the professional market. That aside, while I sort of understand where Apple was coming from with FCPX, (trying to reinvent the timeline was a bold move for sure and who knows, maybe I'll come back to their software one day), clients aren't going to wait years for you to upgrade your software. If you're a professional, you use the tool that's right for the job, nothing more or less, all this 'apple rules!'/'adobe rules!'/'avid rules!' is just so much noise. I don't really subscribe to the notion that one NLE is 'better' than the other, and to outright cheer for one piece of software over another strikes me as a little strange.

What do you guys think about the additions? If you aren't a Final Cut Pro X user, might these changes make you consider trying it again - or for the first time if you've never had the opportunity? If you've been using Final Cut 7, does this finally make you think about switching?

We don't know what's happening with their professional hardware solutions, but it seems the editing platform is on the right track. Final Cut Pro X, with these recent updates, is finally gaining essential features that will help convince editors that Apple is serious about supporting this program, and not just creating an iMovie Pro. It was either Apple's way, or the highway. Now I know this isn't the case for everyone, but one of the things that has bothered many professionals is that they have had no choice until the last few updates about how they could edit. Here is the video showing off that functionality: Apple has also added a way to keep connected clips in the same spot even as you move other clips around them.

It seems like the Event Viewer does not quite replicate the functionality that existed in Final Cut Pro 7, because clips from your timeline cannot be loaded into the Event Viewer, which is beneficial if you're doing something like color grading. It would have left focus on one part of the interface instead of two when dealing with a single clip. That would have freed up some screen for the list view and made the reference point for the current clip be right in the Event Viewer, not in both the Event Viewer and the Event Library. What would have been really cool is if you could place the list view timeline/thumbnail under the Event Viewer. The Event Viewer will probably be most useful with clips in list view. While you can see the clip name at the top of the Event Viewer the cryptic camera name often means nothing. Since there’s no dedicated “mini timeline” under the Event Viewer you can lose track of both which clip you’re viewing in the Event Viewer as well as where in that clip your playhead is parked.

The problem with the Event Viewer comes when you’ve got your Event Library set to a filmstrip view. ProVideo Coalition described some of the issues with this new capability:
