In my opinion it comes to:
Premiere Pro always prefer a Windows system. You can get much power for less money and it will be faster than a macbook for render in premiere.

If you prefer a MAC system, FCPX definitely. The performance is insane and beats pretty much any other Win laptop using PP. The MacOS ecosystem is just unparalleled.

I could not agree more with you Jose...
I have nothing against ads here in NFS. I just ask for clarity because I believe that NFS priority is resources to help out filmmakers. If you make posts that were paid state it. No one will get mad about it as you have bills to pay like all of us.

Wow it looks really nice!
I'm on it to to add audio. The ability to record voice notes and also add sound to specific scenes or shots so that we can show the mood of that part.

Great work and good luck!

Derek was spot on. On the part on not being afraid to cut I would add that if you think a shot is taking too long cut it.
