Uhhh... Like Avid and Premiere?
They have a free non linear editor in iMovie already, but if you need pro features like 5K native support (a $20,000-$30,000 investment) then it's a couple hundred bucks. Seems reasonable to me...
"Opacity key frames in fcp 7 were set directly on the clip"
CTRL V to show video animation. ALT click in the opacity layer to set keyframes directly in the timeline.
I also feel there should be a way to disable the magnetic effect of the time line.
Use the POSITION tool (P) to move clips without using the magnetic timeline. pressing the ~ key will also allow you to ignore the connections to the main story line.
I find that many complaints about editing in X are just due to the user not knowing the program yet. I know it can be frustrating at first, but FCPX is way more advanced than FCP7 ever was. Good luck.
It's nice to see they are regularly updating FCP.
fcpx is frickin' amazing for the price.
are you kidding? fcpx is very powerful and very usable. it is light years ahead of fcp studio.
i get stuff edited in 1/3rd the time.
take advantage of keywords and the shift to storytelling mindset and it's a better way to work.
