Final Cut Pro X - First Impressions

I was introduced to final cut pro after already trying an editing a video on final cut express. My initial reaction was that they are very similar but after being shown by an A2 student how everything worked it became clear that final cut pro seemed easier to work out and had more options when it came to transitions and effects. Again it did take me a while to get used to this software especially after just working out final cut express. Final cut pro seems a bit more professional than final cut express and I think that will come in useful especially when we are editing bigger projects and are wanting our work to look more and more professional.

Even though at the moment it isn't very easy to understand there is a lot of online help and information to help people how to learn the best ways to use it. After editing our swede video on this I had become a lot more used to this software and i found it a lot easier to get my head around then final cut express. I found the editing quite simple to do and even though it could of been improved that was down to our lack of experience and not the sofware. Overall i prefer final cut pro X to final cut express.
