Make you an even-up trade, David.

I'll stop as someone who talks about what I LIKE about FCP-X - and in return, you get the the folks who keep coming here saying "but (insert MY software) already does that - so that means FCP-X is actually really lame and unoriginal.

It would be a win-win, no?

Seriously, you can't tell me that for months the tone hasn't been somewhere between dismissive to downright HOSTILE to FCP-X.

What's the problem with a voice that's laudatory about it?

If I'm saying something that's not true - or even something that's debatable, you KNOW that there are plenty of voices ready to jump in and gleefully post about how I'm wrong!

And in this particular case, isn't it a little skitzo that people are saying it's BAD because it's TOTALLY different than what they expected - and then questioning that that very same things that cause it to be so different (new code) isn't a blessing?

I'd get that argument if the code in FCP-X wasn't effective or didn't DO editing. But it does. So the rest is just perception and opinion and wants, needs and personal preferences.

Simple as that.
