they sacrificed functionality for asthetics

I’ve been editing for over 20 years. There is a steep learning curve with this app if you are coming from a traditional non linear editing software such as the old Final Cut Pro or Premiere etc. There’s still features I miss from the old program, however there are a lot that I love in FCX. My biggest gripe is that they sacrificed functionality for asthetics, this is something Apple is notorious for. Features that were in plain view on Final Cut Pro are entirely buried or non existant in Final Cut X. Overall though, it works and it works well. So adapt or die. Or go get premiere and pay a rip off monthly fee.
