Customer Reviews
Fast, powerful, and very different. In a good way.
I've been a professional tv spot editor for 10+ years and have full knowledge of FCP 7 and Avid. There are a lot editors on here saying the FCP X is not a professional tool. It's truly only because they have no idea how to use it. There are very new and different tools and workflows to learn with FCP X. Simply opening it up and using it a few times then saying it's awful is ignorant. After taking the time to truly learn FCP X and use it on many projects I have found it quite wonderful. Most of the things these people are saying are missing are not. They just don't know where they are. Also someone saying it "isn't built to handle complex organization and editing" truly has no idea how events and keywording works or the advanced trimming works. It's tremendously better organized than a traditional bins and folders system.
Sure there are things that need work, features to be added, and it might not be quite ready to replace your entire shops systems yet but it will get there. I actually get annoyed by things that FCP 7 and especially Avid don't do that FCP X does when switching back. FCP X does everything it needs to do to create professional work. Editors said the same thing about FCP classic when it first arrived too. People hate to have to learn new tools and step out of their comfort zone. Those are the people who will get called dinosaurs down the road because they refuse change and evolution.
AMAZING!
This is an AMAZING movie making software. I hope to be a director when I grow up, so I don't want to spend my years ahead with iMovie! Get this software if you're really in to movie making!
This is no longer a pro tool!
This is my third version of FCP over the past five years and I really thought I'd justify the purchase based on past usage. But it turns out the application isn't really a PRO tool any more, just an oversimplified home video editor. I make video segments using a combination of action and stills and FCP has been terrific for that in the past, but FCP no longer supports custom resolutions - one of the most important features for my clients.
I was really looking forward to the new methods for editing - they seemed like a good progression from FCP6, and I have to say the live previews are pretty nifty. But I didn't realize Apple was going to burn the professionals in the FCP community in favor of downgrading this to a consumer tool. I just wasted $350 and I'm very, very unhappy.
