I know that lots of people are moaning about various things¹ but my early feelings about this new version are that it is a pleasure. Yes it has crashed a couple of times, but the general feel is one of joy. I am editing a multi camera project for a school related event. It isn't a pro project. It does have a potential nightmare in it's bones: multiformat flip and SLR sources being imported. In the original FCP this would have caused no end of hassle, but in this version I am able to get on with the happy process of editing. So far I have just been enjoying it.

Jeffrey Wright's first movie.

The Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs reference was my first thought as they brought out that tiny plate. It entertained my brain more than my mouth.
