I love how people who have "moved on" still drop in to complain.
I just sold my copy of FCS3 and picked up FCPX last month. I love it. Runs smooth as silk with large files on my 2011 3.4ghz QC iMac (with 12gb of RAM & SSD).

Simple, lines intertwining.
What's it called?

Um, oh wait that's right. *Cue affirmation you didn't get from your father* Pats son on back, "good job son, good job."
Hmm, media composer 6 (student version) is the same price as X.
I always liked FCP better, but it's a tough choice.
6 is dual platform...so there's that.
Anyone have both/opinions?
I'm excited to see what cs6's premiere brings to the table.
Saw the Pluraleyes-like multi-clip syncing...coool

I already worked a lot with FCPX and found that it is really buggy. What I am surprised that those bugs didn't get addressed in this update. That is a bug that causes all Events saved on an external drive to disappear und the other one is that stabilization simply doesn't work with some type of video files. Both bugs are documented and reported by many in Apples discussion forums They cost me 4 days when trying to find fixes and workarounds. I still haven't found a way to get stabilization to work even so there are plenty of workarounds which work for some described in Apples discussion forums.
In 5 months we get 2 tiny updates fixing a handful of minor problems.
I'm an optimist, so I'm going to chalk this down to limited resources prepping for a really big, awesome update ('pro' or otherwise).
Or they're still snowed under trying to read all my crash reports from the first week.

What I'm surprised at is that since I switched to Premiere Pro CS5, I don't ever have to render anything and everything is extremely responsive and the performance is amazing. This was not the case on FCP 7 and FCP X still requires rendering, albeit in the background. FCP X's interface is really laggy compared to Premiere, yet you can do so much more with the latter...
These kinds of things upset me. Then I remember that I have a pirated copy and I feel a little better.
Didn't fix the problem I'm having where I have to run FCPX in a separate user account to get it to show video on the canvas 
This might be really dumb, but how do I get it to update? I went into the App Store on my computer, signed in, and it says all my apps are up-to-date. That's clearly not the case, as Final Cut Pro X is still version 10.0 for me. Is there a trick here that I'm missing?
Typically the reason the student version is so cheap is you're contractually obligated by the EULA to NOT use it to make money, period. If you plan on using it to tmake any money, even on the side, go Final Cut.
Adding XML support was pretty rad and a direct response to customer demand. That pretty much cured it for me (I don't need multi-monitor out after all) other than the ability to send audio to SOMETHING else for editing. Still have Soundtrack Pro for that very reason.
Make sure you're signed in to the right account?
Happy to see the continued support & development. I really enjoy this software and in time it's going to be great as more developers sign on.
Make sure you have the minimum requirements as far as hardware is concerned. I wasn't able to update to 10.0.1 until I upgraded my video card.

I have to say that these bugs really upset me as well quite a bit because they cost me sooo much time. Much more then the cost of the application. I should write a bill to Apple asking for paying my time dealing with these bugs.
What upsets me even more is that apparently they didn't address them. Stabilization not working? What is that. Worked great in FCP 6 and 7 and even iMovie.
I couldn't agree more. At least they are still working on it and haven't thrown it to the side and letting it rot away.
Why would you switch to two really crappy programs that make it a total pain to get things done? Oh, I know... your paychecks come from Adobe.
You know, once you cash that paycheck and spend the money, its gone, but your integrity, and honor, they are ruined forever.
Stabilization's working fine. Plus the 100 other great features that didn't exist in FCP 7 or iMovie.
Hows that FUD job working out? Is the pay good?
One thing I've learned from being an Apple customer for nearly 30 years: Apple keeps its promises.
The FUDsters and the bashers will, every time Apple releases a new product, go screaming at the top of their lungs how Apple is horrible, and how Apple is betraying their users, and how Apple has just released the WORST PRODUCT EVER!
And then a few years, of course, when that product proves to be a huge success, they've moved on to bitching about another Apple product.
These same people bitched about the move to PowerPC.
They bitched about the iMac.
They bitched about the iPod.
They bitched about the move to intel.
They said the iPhone was going to be a huge failure.
They said the iPad was just a big iPhone.
They even bitched about OS X, if you can believe it.
And of course, back when final cut pro was first introduced, you know what they said?
They said "pros will never use this, its a toy!"
Seriously.
Quick tips and then some for FCPX:
