Re: New blog post from Philip Hodgetts. Worth the read.

[Jeremy Garchow] "[Walter Soyka] "He's saying by using FCPX instead of FCP7, you can get the same results in only a quarter of the time!"

I thought he said, he had hard twice to four times as fast, then said, let's call it twice as fast."

Here's the line:

"They rethought the interface according to the philosophy outlined above – faster and more automated – and we have Final Cut Pro X. Let’s assume that it’s only twice as fast as Final Cut Pro 7. Some of that is simply because of a modern foundation that drops any requirement for transcoding or rendering effects, and that’s shared with other modern NLEs like Premiere Pro, Vegas, Media Composer and Edius. But some is because of the way the interface has been redesigned."
