It's definitely not better than FCP and it falls short on a lot of things. The backlash on Apple happened because editors were expecting something better than the old version. Here's a list of what's missing aka Cons:
- Chapter Markers
- Limited Export Settings
- No Export for Hi-Res JPGs
- No Support for EDL
- No XML Import
- No OMF export
- No Native Support for Red Raw files
- No Multicam
- No Capture from Tape or Output to Tape
- Limited Options for Arranging Your Workspace
- No Native Support for Third Party Plugins
- Support for External Monitoring
- Inability to Open Projects Saved From Previous FCP Versions
Pros
- Renders in background
- Synchronize clips feature
- Keyboard shortcut customization
- Full screen mode
- Better support for DSLRs
- Preview effects on clips in real time
- Improved audio editing
- ColorSync
- No more "Log & Transfer"
- $300
This will never be a complete list until I actually own the program and used it for myself.
Overall, Final Cut Pro X is a watered-down version of the regular Final Cut Pro and is not meant for professionals. I don't think Apple should get horrible reviews on this product from people that are not meant to use it.
