Stop spinning.

I'm "patronizing" nobody with a thick enough skin to be called an adult.

I'm espousing a point of view. I give reasons for my thinking here all the time. You're free to disagree all you like. But you're not free to determine my tone when you can't seem to "hear" it accurately.

I regularly note how people can do fine work using Premier, Avid and Vegas.

The hallmark of the closed minded is someone who can't EVER find a single thing useful about a software package that suits the workflow of many editors as well or better than Legacy - and is starting to make some of us quite a bit of money - yet gets nothing but mis-information and derision from those who constantly prove that they don't have much real knowledge of how it works.

Look, we're still talking about it's features a YEAR after it's release. People here (and especially in the Techniques forum) are still trying to learn how to properly operate it.

That's prima facia evidence that it's not dumb, it's not trivial, and its certainly not "broken." Because if it was, none of us would would be using it. And we are.

The very first lesson I learned when I started writing for money was "write about what you know."

I suspect I know somewhat more about FCP-X than you do - and I base that on the fact that I use it nearly every day and you're saying stuff that runs contrary to my experience.

So please, follow that advice - or I and others who actually do understand aspects of this software more accurately than you will have to keep coming back to correct you. And it's kinda tiresome.

FWIW.
