Re: macbook air and fcpx- the new portable edit suite

[Chris Harlan]Of course, what do we mean by editing? While I was Google-exploring whether or not FCP X could work on a MacBook Air, I came across a bit of video that somebody claimed to have edited with X/Air. In fact, they head-lined that fact on their blog. It was family footage with four or five cuts that went on for three or four minutes. So, I'm guessing iPad/X will be just fine for him.

That's a good point. I would say "editing" in these modern times is not only cutting clips together, but also motion graphics/VFX (even if limited in fashion)/color correction. How many job postings looking for "editors" also want After Effects or even Maya experience as well? How often do you simply do a straight edit and leave it at that? It's super rare for me to just edit.
