Re: M100 versus FCP

I agree. We have to use FCP for some projects also, and it definitely has some nice features. But alone the loading times for larger projects is crazy, and the fact that timelines only "live" in projects and are not saved as individual files. With the work we are doing (usually with huge amounts of source material) we always reach a size where we can only have a single FCP project open. If we try to open a second one the app crashes; but since we eventually have to bring together different timelines from different projects this always is a huge pain.

Plus, the fact that it most of the time is extremely difficult to play out a complex FCP timeline to tape (missing audio tracks or missing audio keyframes during Master to Tape, problems when rendering audio clips, problems doing an insert or assemble edit frame accurate without audio or video glitches) really makes FCP a pain when trying to do long form projects or projects that extend over a long period of time compared to Media 100.
