Re: Editing scenario

[Steve Connor] "Oliver is actually talking about a corporate video"

Yes, my mistake.

[Steve Connor] "it's also a little patronising to suggest that corporate videos don't have the same complexity as broadcast."

I certainly didn't mean to sound patronising (and I did specifically include a disclaimer) but if I did then apologies.

I think though there is a difference let's say rather between long form documentary editing and short form advertising type editing (which is more the kind of thing Oliver was describing even though it's technically a "corporate") - and this might be where FCPX suits the former rather better than the latter. Complexity in this case is not about whether one or the other is more creatively demanding but rather about the level of intricacy that is called for in the actual cutting.
