Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

So I went to add an animated logo bug to a promo in FCPX. Cool, but not enough punch. So I add another instance of it above and use a Vivid Light blend mode. Cool. That's what I was looking for. Now since this goes across the whole spot I'll just compound this whole thing and stick some fades on it. But wait...once the compound clip is created the vivid light blend mode on that bug is GONE. It's stuff like this that keeps me away from FCPX.

And don't give me the work-around. I don't need work-arounds. I need it to work. That kind of compositing is a simple but necessary function that I shouldn't have to jump through hoops to do.

Obviously, Apple got my money. That's perfectly cool. And I'm cool with it being a $300 product 'cause that's about how it performs. I want it to work. I really do. I'm the perfect customer for it. Self-contained corporate production. But it's lost data, corrupted projects and outsmarts itself in so many ways.

If it can't do all that then it just ain't all that.

Love the discussion though.
