Apple updated FCPX, so I figured I should update this blog...

A new year. A new Final Cut Pro. A new machine to pair it with. More editors trying it out and beginning to take it seriously.

And yet... I haven't posted since October!

I underestimated my ability to edit a feature film on deadline while also teaching part-time AND keep up with what I initially imagined was going to be a week-to-week blog. In a single image, I can sum up what kept me away:

I'll clean up this timeline, promise.

Excuses, excuses.

Editor Jonny Elwyn Does Us All A Solid

Launching a Final Cut Pro X blog while in the midst of editing a feature in Final Cut Pro X is... well... a bit more of a challenge than I thought. That's not true: I knew it would be a challenge and my time to write thoughtful commentary regarding FCPX and our workflow would be tight, but I ventured forth anyway. But boy, has it been tight.

So in between my longer, more project specific posts I will, from time to time, share shorter pieces to give the two or three of you who may have placed this blog in your RSS reader of choice something chew on or explore outside of what I'm bringing to the FCPX table.

To reiterate, this blog was never meant to become a home for tutorials on how to use FCPX technically. I will get into some of that, yes, but if you are new to FCPX and looking for that type of resource, or if you have already dived into FCPX but still need some advice to help you shortcut a technical headache, a good place to start may be London-based editor's recent, aptly titled blog post:
