* I crossed out any and every above because I was reminded by the folks at Digital Rebellion that their remote app Editmote added gestures. You can accomplish the majority of PROCUTX tasks faster with the keyboard. I kept drawing the same conclusion: technically it works quite well but forcing myself to use PROCUTX meant it was significantly slowing down my overall productivity. I paid my $25 the morning it came out and sat down with it for three different sessions between then and the publishing of this post. While you may have read a lot of blog posts about PROCUTX over the last day or two, every one I read felt like it was just an alert that this new app is available and a reposting of the press release. As development continues that should change. The PROCUTX interface is gorgeous but at this point it's little more than a bunch of buttons on the screen though a few of those buttons make it easier to access certain functions. While there's most likely nothing like that involved in this PROCUTX product it's still worth a read. UPDATE: No story on a product from PROCUTX maker Pixel Film Studios would be complete without a link to this story about them allegedly using another company's copyrighted elemets in one of their own products. I’ve tried a lot of different button emulators for the iPad and have ended up rarely using any of them all for that same reason. I don’t think you can ever get that kind of muscle memory on an iPad since there is nothing to feel when you’re placing your fingers. While this might not seem like a big deal (especially to those new to editing) experienced editors will tell you that great speed comes from the muscle memory you gain where your fingers just know where to go without constantly looking down at the keyboard, mouse, trackball or tablet. PROCUTX suffers from the same problem that any and every * most other iPad control surface / button emulator suffers from (and I’ve tried a lot of them): You’re constantly having to look back down at the iPad to use the damn thing. Is it worth it? Probably not for me in its current form so I doubt I'll use it very much but it sounds like there is some real potential for the future. At $25 it isn’t a cheap iPad app as iPad apps go. There’s also a big jog wheel that dominates the center. There’s lot of little buttons all over the interface to perform any number of FCPX tasks. It’s a gorgeous app that is very well designed. This is an iPad app ( iTunes link) that is designed as a control surface for Final Cut Pro X. If you’ve been around the internet (or social media) in the last few days then you’ve probably heard of PROCUTX.
