Curious.. what are these MANY omitted features you talk of? I have edited prime time network shows with a viewer base of 5 mill and Fcp x runs circles around premier and avid.
admittedly I have not reinstalled it in about 9 months now but my basic list
Timeline scrolls behind a stationary Playhead . still clunky
GOOD multimonitor support ... HORRID especially when your used to a 3-5 screen rig
A better dedicated keyframe editor
Effects browser is cluttered and annoying, far too much scroling and no good quick search or lock in hot keys
improved media management
kill dependency of quicktime and needing to transcode raw video at all.
update the ProRes support once again, it needs more help and some better stability
drag effects right from the panel onto frames or clips, I find it takes far too many steps
have 2 or 3 or more timelines viewable AND usable at the same time.
and my main one ... able to directly link with third party applications better. especially for color corrections, pulling in 3d renderings or animations without all the transcode work, just drag it and drop it from one application to the other this alone saves me about 20 hours a week.
You and I must be in the same areas now and then... I don't do as much for prime time anymore, mostly moved to movies and special effects the last 4 years.
