Re: Final Cut Pro X and the Road to Hell (and back again) by Rick Young

I'm amazed Rick returned to FCPX after the experiences he had.

I've had similar, not quite as extreme, situations myself.

No, it's not operator error, its beta software meltdown.

But now those situations with crazy spinning balls, trashing preferences, re-downloading the core software, etc etc , seem to have largely disappeared with FCPX 10.0.4.

I've learnt how to avoid trouble I guess, minimise compound clip use, edit with rendering turned off, keep project sizes to a manageable length, and then compile the finished programme. A bit like writing a book, working on individual chapters and then finally compiling it into the finish piece.

So a bit more love than hate at the moment.

I look forward to the next update - and the one after that.
