Here\u2019s what he had to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>First off, It\u2019s really fast. I\u2019ve been using the MacBook Pro with the new version of FCP X and cutting 5k ProRes material all week, it\u2019s buttery smooth. No matter what you think the specs say, the fact is the software and hardware are so well integrated it tears strips off \u201csuperior spec\u2019d\u201d Windows counterparts in the real world. This has always been true of Macs. If you\u2019re running software with old code which doesn\u2019t utilize the hardware well, you\u2019re not going to get great performance (as pointed out\u00a0here). I understand people need to use programs from other developers, but at some point they need to play catch up. Otherwise it\u2019s akin to asking for a more powerful engine because you like to buy tire-less wheels for your car. For all the kinds of\u00a0work\u00a0I do it\u2019s been excellent.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr \/>\n<h3 id=\"making-the-switch\">Making the Switch<\/h3>\n<p>Simply put, <strong>FCPX<\/strong> sounds like it is simply just faster than its competitors. For me, it&#8217;s starting to sound like if you&#8217;re editing on a Mac, cutting on <strong>FCPX<\/strong> is an obvious choice for efficiency. When editing, I like to be able to do so quickly and smoothly. Although, switching back will involve a learning curve,<strong> it seems like it will save time in the long run.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Take your time, do your research. I think it\u2019s time I give <strong>FCPX<\/strong> another chance. I\u2019ll be posting my review about switching in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are your thoughts on this matter?
