You have to really take the time to understand and embrace rather than fight how to use the Magnetic timeline but once you do it will allow you to edit must faster and facilitate your creativity more than any other editing program. I recently had to use Premiere Pro for a couple of projects and I can tell you that it is only when you use and really understand FCPX and then have to return to the traditional editing paradigm that you realize how much more flexible the magnetic timeline is.
When the revamped Final Cut Pro X first dropped, it upset many longtime users. There were legitimate issues at the time, with many features missing and an entirely new program to learn for editors that knew FCP like the back of their hands.
Add to this the fact that Apple handled the update inelegantly, and it was quite the firestorm. When it comes to Final Cut, and Apple in general, there is a lot of schadenfreude out there. It can be hard to filter out the legitimate complaints. Just ask the many that rely on it daily to edit television and film projects. Seven years ago I left Final Cut Pro as my preferred editing suite, as many editors did at the time, for Adobe Premiere.
I am honestly speechless at the vast amount of improvements made to this software. The developers really have done a fantastic job with this latest version of FCPX and I am blown away at how much more efficient and optimized the editing process has become, especially when compared to Premiere. I went ahead and jumped into this software after a few short tutorials and found myself saving about an hour of time when compared to a similar video I recently edited in Premiere and this was after just getting started!
Further, the export time was a little more than twice as fast as Premiere! I could go on and on here I may make a video about this but I am intrigued and exited for the future of my editing process.
