    I have a good apple laptop which I used to use final cut pro on, when they released final cut prox I had my finger over the purchase button but then read some more about it and realised that my assumption I could use it for professional work was quickly dashed.

    I promptly bought the entire production premium suite for £800 and took on a freelance job which I used premier pro to edit. I paid for my adobe software with that job :D I haven't touched final cut pro since. Due to apple ruining the applications I use to make my living, I looked at PC's and so I then went out and specced up a PC which I built, which gave me great satisfaction. I will now no longer buy any apple products for professional use. Apple absolutely trampled all over their professional editing base when they released final cut pro x .

    I met an editor last week to chat about a graphic he wanted me to do we chatted about final cut pro x he said it was great, I asked him if he would ever do a paid job on it? he said no fucking way, a client wouldn't pay for something which can only do 60% of what they might need. Not that great then. He was using Avid to edit by the way. I am doing the graphic in AE which which I got with my production premium bundle :D

    • I am not a video editor, it doesn't affect me. And I already sympathize with you, as I stated earlier. Just chill the fuck out, okay?monospaced
