Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Greg Andonian] "Last year at the SuperMeet, Apple trumpeted FCPX like it was brand new and revolutionary, and it wasn't. Most of the core functionality in X already existed in iMovie before FCPX came out."

Oh come on Greg. This is like arguing that because a Jaguar and a Yugo have engines, steering wheels and brakes, and so "share the same core functionality" that nobody can really tell the difference between driving the two.

Here's a news flash, since you clearly don't use X very much. Nobody actually competetent can do in iMovie the same level of editing they can do in X. In modern grade school terms - one of these things is NOT like the other.

But more than that - the real differences is more subtle.

I was kinda BORED editing in Legacy. The changes were all minor and incremental after all those years of development. It had gone as far as that mode of editing needed to go, perhaps.

X was willing to blow up the boring past for the promise of a more interesting future - and that's precisely what it's been for me.

I'm having more FUN editing. I'm getting more work done - faster - and easier than before I switched to X.

Every month I use it, I find more to like - and that's after 11 straight months of increasing success with it.

So sorry, but if the best argument you can muster is the same one from week ONE of X's existence when nobody understood it... (it's just iMovie Pro, dude) ... than I feel for you.

11 months on and you're brain is largely where it was 11 months ago?

That's just kinda weird, IMO.
