Re: How long did it take you.....

Hi Walter,

I Wish I could say the same.

In practical and technical terms FCP is without doubt the better editing tool, and while I look back with a certain fondness for Edit*, you would have to nail me to a seat to force me to go back to cutting much with it.

Its hard to describe, maybe its muscle memory, maybe its autopilot syndrome, maybe its mental illness, but I still find myself trying to do things 'the edit* way'; I am forever trimming single clips instead of 'rolling' the head and tail of two clips. Forgetting to deselect clips in order to zoom into my timeline position instead of the selection. Pressing 'W' to zoom into selection. All that kind of thing.

I have most likely picked up so many bad habits trying to emulate the edit* feel over the last few years that I fear I have irreparably gimped myself on FCP!!

Anyways... I'll stop whinging... at least I now have zoom on the mouse-wheel.
