Latest Update Introduces Sluggishness

FCX is a great, powerful video editor. There’s little that I’ve thrown at it that it couldn’t do — and for those things, I’ve leaned on Motion. The ease of edits, searching the library with smart collections, adding powerful transitions and effects and basic color correction, is quite amazing. I’d still love to have a copy/paste for settings between clips, but that’s been requested so many times that I’m not 100% sure that the FCX team even cares.

Other than a few minor missing features, I’m pleased with the product. It doesn’t matter if I’m working on a powerful workstation or a macbook air, the program is pretty responsive. That’s really impressive, considering the sheer amount of media that I’m throwing at it.

I would love to see native Compressor support so I could initiate a batch network encode directly from FCX.
