Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP X... Discuss...

Keywords... cool. Smart Collections is taxonomy, like we see on blogs.
Buuut . . . I still want (no, need) the ability to sub-clip and sub-sequence.
If FCPX does not allow that, then IMHO, that's dumb.
One of the things Avid MC does do well, generally, is to give the user alternatives and multiple ways to work for what best suits the moment, user or project. Adding features is always good . . . but please don't take useful ones away (e.g. Interface Settings).
