| Thanks James. So just to clarify what I thought I saw during the FCPX rollout, one of the "selling points" in the demo that I watched was that "now all this rendering can occur in the background during low-use CPU cycles." If that means a background encode/render to a ProRes or other proxy is going on in the background, then that is still not "working with files natively" in my book. Premiere has no background render processes that occur automatically unless the user starts a render process for exporting. In Pr, with a system like mine, no rendering ever needs to occur in the background. All native files stay native and do not change during the edit.

Thanks for the feedback. And just for the record, FCPX does playback natively everything I have thrown at it so far (on my 4.5 year old first generation dualcore MacPro with upgraded ATI Radeon HD 5770). Certainly all H.264/MPEG4/AVCHD variants of any SD/HD resolution or frame rate (and all legacy formats of course). Only exception I can think of is XDCAM at this point. I initially followed Apple's recommendation of transcoding to proRes but have found that for short projects at least I don't really need to -- I imagine this will be especially true for newer Macs. I don't think I will be doing 20-layers on my old MacPro with any existing editing app though. Time to upgrade my hardware.
