Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Clint Wardlow] "Now I may be wrong here, but FCPX seems more aimed towards a pre-planned (storyboarded if you will) editing style. "

How so?
I hear about many people doing unscripted work in FCPX. Docs for example. News is another. Sports yet another. None of this is pre planned storyboard work.

Keep in mind that the Project Storyline isn't the only place one can edit. One can edit segments as Compound Clips in the Event Browser for example

The magnetic timeline is conducive to moving chunks around in my opinion.

I have heard some argue that narrative, which would be pre planned storyboarded, would be more difficult to cut in FCPX. I'm not sure of that personally. That does seem the opposite of what you're saying.

There does seem to be a number of people editing short form corporate pieces in FCPX and those are often pre planned storyboarded and can actually be quite "dense."

It may depend on what one's definition of "complex" is. There certainly are some potential issues though. Personally I think complex audio editing is an issue when using dual mono or more audio channels. I also think there's significant room for improvement for compositing on the Storyline as well but obviously that's not the only form of complexity.
