Learning to edit differently.

I have used FCP from version 1-7, while each version grew from the last, addting the features that were needed and expected I expected something similar when FCP X was released. Sure it was completely rewritten but how different could it be right? Wow! It was totally not what I was expecting and went against a lot of what I had grown accustomed to both in video editing and in Mac software. I found myself fighting the changes and not liking some of the implimentation of the user interface… at first. The more I forced myself to use it the more I began to reteach myself how to edit better. I can edit much faster then I ever could in earlier versions of FCP, or any other Pro editing software for that matter. It really is a well made piece of software and I hope more people give it a real chance before deciding it’s not for them. BTW the background rendering is just awesome!
