Let me start with opacity control, the way it was implemented in fcp 7 is, in my opinion, much much better. Opacity key frames in fcp 7 were set directly on the clip and not in a pop up menu ensuring fast control over it in the case there are multiple video layers (or tracks if you will). The trackless system is painful when you have to deal with multiple tracks of video and audio you may end up with all of them, allover the place. I also feel there should be a way to disable the magnetic effect of the time line. When using a lot of elements you need space and the ability to move them about without worrying that those will also move what ever clip they have attached themselves to or that fcp has a different opinion on syncing. I could go on and on but enough for today. I need to repeat, that I am not trolling and I am not a hater. Just frustrated because FCP7 is a dying app and the transition to FCPX, probably will not be happening.
IS still selling Aperture. It is not for free and not cheap. Not expensive either BUT as they will not continue the development and the support after 10.10 is most probably not there it seems not the right thing to do ....
