Re: Lightworks - As Popular As FCPX?

[Walter Soyka] "professional interest"

which is a good thing. Over the past year, I have had exactly two encounters with FCX. One TV commercial which was a multi-layered green screen that worked out fine - unpacked nicely in Resolve (which is all I cared about). The other instance I actually coached a former iMovie user through using the application to make some nicer slide shows to showcase his original music. He didn't like iMovie because it wasn't sophisticated enough, but he wasn't all that excited about FCX, either, because it was way too complex for his purposes.... but it was cheap and did have better audio editing.

But locally anyway, my market was previously an AVID stronghold, and although that camp has made strides, most locals, having switched to Final Cut Studio, are loathe make another leap of faith to anything. The sentiment expressed most often is the sense of moving backwards and everything seems to be getting monstrously complicated again. I interpret that as referring to ambiguity in product placement, capricious and arbitrary operational changes and of course the total format/codec chaos that has erupted over the last couple of years. At the end of the day, many are choosing not to choose.
