Pros / Cons
- I do sometimes wish i could take it on the go with me on my ipad, but then again i can do basic clips and layouts through imovie and have it seemless transfer into FCPx and not miss a beat.
- Final Cut Pro does not run on a subscription service.

- The only suggestion that I would find to be useful to new OBS users, would be if there were a more comprehensive & expanded downloadable .pdf user and functions manual. Or even a more expanded "hints" segment when initially logging on so that it can teach you about all of the various uses & functions available to the user.
- It is a fight to configure the docks in the space you want them and many times the configuration is not supported so it wastes precious screen space.
