Former video editor here, I started out on FCP 7 before they made the move backwards to X. I could never get used to the X timeline and even the original FCP was very limited compared to Avid MC. The filmstrip file browsing is beyond annoying.
I'm playing around with FCPX now and the UI is very unintuitive, features seem to be lacking, I'm blading a few clips here and there and the entire audio clip below the clip I delete seems to just disappear and it not even attached.
I'm really looking for an app that has a traditional file browser and good effects. Capcut has great effects but I dont want a subscription based app. I hope with premiere I can add a ton of effects with FX factory.
I don't even see a simple fade in or fade out transition in FCPX. Seems like everything is hidden.
