FCP X, better yet, iMovie Pro is an absolute joke. It would have been better just to get an update with the features we were all looking forward to instead of putting out a worthless program. For the near future I will still use FCP 7, but I may convert over to Premiere. They have made strides the past few years and the integration with AE is good.

Appreciate the honesty. I have been looking closely to other designers reels and notice they show pieces longer so you get understand what they have made and can actually do. I take it when you say "nothing more than camera pans", you mean there is no actually animation (especially the 3D), but its more just constructed objects. If that's so, I completely agree with you and need to spend more time making personal projects because the place I work at isn't cutting it right now. With unrealistic deadlines and me being the only mograph designer, I add the sparkle to at least make it appealing some what. But I agree with you 100% on learning the fundamentals because you can never fail with them. My question to you is, which pieces do you personally think I should take out and which ones do you think should stay?

I've been out of school for a year and working for a year and just got finished making my 2011 reel. I want to get honest feed back and know what I need to work on and improve. http://vimeo.com/23320325
