Two videos for a Monday morning, both have the same bad message about FCPX

Things must be bad when we can find two new videos on a Monday morning that indicate the authors' displeasures with FCPX. At least it makes a change from reading the same blog reposted everywhere. An alternative ad posted too.

FCP_rap_video

FCP news is a bit thin in this FCP7 to FCPX watershed time. We could repost one of the cloned blogs about FCPX from any of the 1700 editors that attended the SuperMeet. We could post one of the many CineStyle Canon 5D Vimeo tryout reels. Nope, we have decided to go for originality with a rap about FCP. Just remember where you saw it first :)

Always check your permissions before you film your budget rap video on a Canon 5D NSFW!

Much hilarity at fcp.co HQ when we saw this. Some naughty 'Gangsta' words in there so it has to have a NSFW flag.
