One important note: FCP 7 had importing and exporting XML to DP, so edits made in one could be reflected in the other. With FCP X, Apple rewrote the entire XML code in their own image, so that nothing (I'm aware of) can read it, including DP. I frankly don't understand why they still have it in the app.
FCP X is very powerful software, we use it all the time here..
but I want you to imagine, for a moment, working on a song in DP, with a couple dozen audio tracks, where there could not exist an empty space between any of the sound bites on any of the tracks unless you "generate" the blank space or "gap" and place it between each one. Imagine that you wanted a moment of silence in your song, so you had to create the silence (empty sound file) and place it where it belongs, or you could not proceed with creating the rest of the song.. this is what FCP X is to me.
So why do I use it? Well for example, you can take a less than perfectly lit chroma screen clip and with one command, knock the background out from the subject perfectly, with no fuss or tweaking. Nothing else on the market does it so completely and stupid easy. So, I tolerate Apple's weirdness.
