Hi Jonathan, thanks for the feedback. I highly recommend FCPX, it's much faster than Premiere at rendering, as an example this 8 minute tutorial, rendered in less than 1min on my MBP 15" 2016, granted it's just a sequence of clips that are not color graded and to which no effects are applied, but for a color graded UHD footage, mixed with other camera footage, transition effects, etc. for a total clip duration of about 3 mins, I can render in about 30s-1min tops. FCPX if fully optimized for mac hardware, thus the difference.

Have you experimented with the trial version Apple offers through their website ? It's a 30 day trial if I'm not mistaken.

The transition from Premiere to FCPX might take some getting used to, specifically around how the timeline works, but I find FCPX easier to use overall while still being able to perform the same type of more complex editing. Plus there are tons of plugins out there that you can install for FCPX that further expand it's capabilities (titles, color grading presets, animations, etc.)
