Re: After a year has perception of FCPX changed?

[Craig Seeman] "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.""

I've done a broad mix of scripted and unscripted edits in FCPX as well as more organic pieces and it works fine on all of them, I have not felt that it is unsuitable for anything I have done so far. I know all us FCPX users KEEP saying it, but once you've learned it (and not just played with it for a few weeks) editing with it works as least as well and in a lot of cases even better than other NLE's I have used.
