Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

Every bit of that week was a struggle. I just wasn't making headway. Just like when I tried out using a Wacom tablet. Tried it for three weeks. Just couldn't get used to it. Not nearly as precise as using a mouse. When it came to editing. I use it for photoshop. That's different.

FCX just doesn't work the way my brain does. Years of conditioning maybe. But I just didn't get it, and wasn't making any headway towards getting it. And I didn't need too. Avid works the way I do. FCP still does. CS 6 is getting there.

One thing FCX has against it is that it can't build on the success of FCP. It can't just take over where FCP legacy left off. It has to start all over again. If it fulfills a need, it might do well. If not, it won't. CS 6 is fulfilling a need. A tool to do what a lot of editors were used to doing in FCP Legacy. And the ability to work natively, without transcoding. That's why it seems to be getting a good foothold.

But with Leverage using FCX, we'll see what FCX has in store
