And "Serious Errors". Let's not forget those. That's definitely something that FCPX doesn't have.

On the side, I teach FCPX and Premiere and soon Resolve (basic NLEs).
This was the norm right from 2011 as far as FCP legacy users.
It used to bug me but after all these years teaching and dealing with clients from all levels, its safe to say that no one I know that makes any real money in this medium has a running copy of FCP7 except for me.
I still have a second OS on my cheese grater 2012 that runs it and at times I will get older clients asking me to convert it to a recent NLE.
Anyhoo, if were going with what works then yes Premiere works...at times.
I can do a whole topic of what doesn't work with if I were to pit it against FCPX and Avid.
But keep in mind when I say "doesn't", I just mean that it doesn't work for me.
In this day of age, you need to know how to use more than one type of tool.
I finish a lot of different types from shorts, music, long format and corporate.
You have to be ready to take on what your client throws at you.
Something tells me this peacock tail tower is going to do a LOT better than anyone ever expected.
Oh please do tell.
I need your computer specs and of course the media type you are using.
Did you proxy or are you working off the original?
I'm intrigued
I also used FCP 7 at a post house here in New York from 2011-2016, then we tried Resolve (crashes), and finally Premiere (unstable but useable). I resisted FCPX until the past year... and WOW it is incredibly fast on my iMac Pro, with UI improvements.
I still edit on Premiere at a top Ad Agency, but when I return home to other projects it’s FCPX on the iMac Pro, no turning back. 4K timeline with real-time color grading and fx? Yes please.
I’m interested in what NLE offerings will be shaken up in the next 5 years. With increased capability, FCPX has the capacity to consolidate Premiere and Resolve into one beast of a program.
2011 is over
With Sidecar you can have a little bit of FCP on an iPad.
Even with dual Apple 30s, I welcome that but have specific window options such as INDEX, LIBRARY or better yet the INSPECTOR
I think you made a typo. Or are you calling a program that most of the time only uses one core, an advanced program?
Between Avid, Resolve, Fcpx and Premiere, Premiere is by far the worse, convoluted, archaic NLE there is.
Yes it’s got a lot of buttons ( but the one in the media manager for example don’t do what they supposed to do). But all defaults are wrong/unprofessional, AAF is a disaster, 4K is a disaster without proxies... i guess if you edit in real time and never use Shuttle or don’t mind exporting in near realtime... but it is by far the least professional NLE out there.
It is if Adobe effectively made FCP8 And is stuck in the past.
This also seems appropriate with regard to FCPX itself. The updates have been getting worse. With this recent update, half my projects open with partial effects missing, and half won't open at all, failing to be updated to the new version. Irreversible updates and shaky performance forcing increasing compatibility problems between different machines is one thing, but between updates of the same application running on the same machine is getting ridiculous. As much as I hate Adobe, I may just switch to Premiere for reliability. At that point, there will be no mac-exclusive applications left to keep me on Apples hardware. Great.
