I know how to read specifications - that's not why I'm posting this. :) What ads don't explicitly tell you about is missing features. For example, in iMovie you can't simply cut and paste groups of clips - you need to manually drag them from one end of a project window to the other. Tedious!

So my question is- what small (large) annoyances does FCP X solve over iMovie? Or rather, what can't iMovie do that FCP can? Again, I know how to read ads, so please don't be too redundant with your answers....

I'll start with my own tip- the Prores codec in FCP doesn't leave nearly as bad artifacts as iMovie's AIC. I only wish Apple had told me this several projects ago...
