For those who are planning to edit, or thinking about buying Final cut X.
Don't use final cut X. If you're going to use that, you might as well just use iMovie that comes with you mac. It's cheaper that way. Final cut X doesn't give you the same freedom and creative ability to customize every aspect as final cut 7 does. Some say that it's harder for those who have worked with final cut 7 for so long to make the switch to X and be able to work with it. I fully agree. I however don't know what it's like to start with X. I wonder if it is indeed just easier for "beginners" to use or if it truly does suck. I know for me, every time I work on X I get pissed off and don't want to use it. But I also know that's because I've had the customizing amazingness from 7. It's hard to change to something, let me put this nicely, less then a good editing tool (wow, that was hard, I wanted to swear just then). I hear, although have not played with, that Premier is quite similar to 7. Many editors have actually been switching to Premier.
So, save your money, do not go for X.
