Now granted, I had never used FCP 7 before, so I didn't have to unlearn anything- which seems to be a major point of disgruntlement for some people.
Check out Scumbag Plumbers Exposed- Day Three. There is also a Day One and a Day Two. They are funny as hell.
I edited these videos for a friend: you can see the results on his FB page: facebook.com/PlumbingDaddy
or on YouTube: Day Three- http://youtu.be/-0anaLbvWvE
Day Two- http://youtu.be/cgjqK3KdDjQ
Day One- http://youtu.be/Vtl47IPnATI
I edited them on an old 2.5 GHZ Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro. Ran a little slow at times, but got the job done.
They were shot with a Canon Vixia M400.
My favorite things about the software:
Footage imported easily from the Canon
Importing media into the video went smoothly
Non destroyable clips- very easy to do things over without being in fear of losing anything. Changes could be made effortlessly.
Adding audio- simple and easy to manipulate.
Green screening- no problems at all.
Rendering in the background- didn't have to hurry up and wait. Could get on the next step immediately.
Uploading to YouTube- no hassles whatsoever.
Magnetic timeline- seemless and quick.
The price- $299. Though, these were free because they were done on the 30 day free trial.
The learning curve was very low. I watched a couple how-to videos on MacVideo Pro.
I started out very tentative because I had never edited anything before. By the time I finished with Day Three I was blazing through the process.
Probably sound like a fan boy. Don't care. The program was fantastic to work with. I know these videos were much simpler than a feature film, and I cannot comment on how FCP X would handle advanced filmmaking needs. But, for what I used it for, the experience couldn't have been more positive.
Feel free to ask any questions.
