  • why he edits his screencasts using Final Cut Pro:
    • the editing experience is simply awesome:
    • I can “split” or “blade” a clip without having the clip selected using cmd+B
    • I can select a bladed clip underneath the playhead using “X” without having to use the mouse
    • The timeline will scrub by simply moving the mouse (I don’t have to drag or click)
    • Deleting a split clip can automatically stitch the remaining clips back together (this is a huge time-saver when you record in many small chunks like I do)
    • It’s faster and more reliable than everything else I’ve tried
