Focus in Theatres

If you're interested in what FCP X is capable of on the high end, go take a look at the new Will Smith movie Focus out this week.

Edited entirely in FCP X.

(Spoiler: it looks EXACTLY like any other major Hollywood movie, including Gone Girl which was edited in Premier)

And like most well made movies, it's a bit difficult to watch it while exclusively trying to judge whether anything is editorially unusual because the dang story keeps getting in the way.

Go figure.

Great to hear this. I am sure soon we will see other major hollywood films cut on FCP X.

I am hoping that they improve the audio part in FCPX.
