A couple of weeks later and FCPX continues to frustrate professional editors, while offering exciting new technology and performance to others. You can follow all of the FCPX articles, reviews and discussions from all over the internet on the Videoguys blog Videoguys Blog

We've updated our "Videoguys' Options for Final Cut Editors" blog article to include the latest and greatest info from Apple, Avid & Adobe. Videoguys Blog - FCPX got you down? Videoguys' Options for Final Cut Editors
