"FCPX always ripples."
Not true. The P-key modifier when trimming either side creates a gap.
" If you delete a clip a gap is left (Lift) — this not true of FCPX."
Again not true. Shift-Delete in X performs the "lift" function.
"BM makes a big deal that Resolve was designed for "professional" graders and editors, by which they mean the folks in Hollywood."
This is my favorite line. OK, everyone outside of Hollywood, you guys/gals are amateurs! See how well that marketing plan has done for Avid? ;-) I would bet that the marketing team at BMD would cringe hearing that their product is just for the Hollywood types.
"So the fact its NLE will be familiar to MC editors makes perfect sense"
Agreed. But Resolve is also familiar to X editors, if you can get by those pesky tracks. ;-) Nicely played by BMD.
If you look at the basic designs of Resolve and X, there are absolute similarities. The overall look as well as things like an Inspector, timeline index, compound clips etc. But you are right. Under the skin, Resolve is a track based editor where X is not.
Resolve is a very nice finishing platform with a great color correction module. I have used it (sent projects to it and a colorist) for projects on X and it plays very nicely. I just hope BMD is not trying to do too much with one product and take the focus off of what it is really good at.
