So cut to 2011, Final Cut Pro X is announced and I am thinking, “Looks cool, a big change, will check it out tomorrow.” We export OMFs for sound or AAFS, XMLs, and sometimes even the old EDL. That means a lot of editors depend on export tools within their NLE to send this information out. It goes out to be graded, then to post-production, CG, cleanups, sound mixing, and often this happens at different companies. I edit the kind of projects that, when the editor is done with the cut, the edit goes into a pipeline. Excited because it was an evolution of Final Cut Pro 7 and afraid because it was also a revolution the trackless concept of the magnetic timeline felt alien, wrong, against all that I was taught and trained to do. In 2011 when Final Cut Pro X came out I was both excited and afraid. As time went by, I found myself going back to Avid less and less, not by choice, just because the general editing ecosystem in commercials had migrated away from Avid in Europe. Like so many freelance editors at the time I learned Final Cut Pro7 and started cutting most of my projects on it. After all, it was a much cheaper option compared to Avid. I started as an editor on AVID then Final Cut Pro 7 came out and a lot of small production companies started investing in it.
Marcos makes some very well made points and comparisons. In this article, experienced editor Marcos Castiel puts the case for and against the use of Final Cut Pro.
