Re: FCPX Trumps Avid

[Scott Sheriff] " I might even have a fighting chance against Tiger Woods if the only club he was allowed to use was a pitching wedge."

No you wouldn't... :)

But everything else you wrote in right on the money.

[Scott Sheriff] "When you can use X as a stand alone NLE (and not use X as a 300 dollar plugin for another NLE) and take any project that comes in the door, not just some down and dirty, quick turn around DSLR stuff, then maybe you can claim X is a general purpose editing program.
Until then...not so much."

Good point!

[Scott Sheriff] "A few people got some recognition using a Fisher-Price PXL 2000 KiddieCorder in a few art movies and band videos, does that mean everyone should scrap their Red/Alexa/Genesis cameras?"

Careful, Bill might start advocating the use of KiddieCorders and we'll have to wade through lengthy diatribes extolling their agility too.
