I still find it to be very difficult to get over the learning curve with the magnetic time line. Certain things just feel very backwards and different than what I'm used to after 20 years of working on NLEs. It just feels so awkward.
@newfoundmass I was very reluctant to switch after being with FCP 2 to 7 and seeing the radically different UI and workflow in X but i'd highly recommend giving it a go, I used Izzy's online tutorials and worked on a 2 minute events highlight video to test it out, haven't looked back! Once you get used to the new way of working it will speed up your workflow and delivery, I edit corporate and social campaigns and with X I'm cutting, rendering and exporting almost twice as fast as before. With all the updates its now a very capable tool and the new Frame.IO integration looks like its gonna be a huge benefit in terms of client collaboration. Stick with it!
Great new additions to FCPX
