Treated myself to a Speed Editor and all I can say its it is a fantastic addition to my editing. Anyone on the fence about getting one, don’t hesitate, it’s brilliant.
There is a seller on eBay with new and sealed for less than used ones. It doesnt come with a licence but if like me you already have a Studio licence then its ideal.
If you already had a Studio license, then had you bought a new one with a license included, you could have sold the license. That would have meant that you bought Speed Editor for very little.
Curious why are you not using FCPX on your Mac
Davinci is better and initially free.
Food for thought and the debate begins … or not?
Isn’t it just.
The question was more around using it on a Mac if you’re already bought into the Apple Ecosystem
Works beautifully on the Mac and while I am a Mac fan realised Davinci does more and didn’t need a subscription. I initially had the free version but had the licence shortly after.
@OzoneVibe Probably what I am about to do Dave, but based on what Mark has said about his experiences with the SE I’d probably keep it! When’s Fathers Day this year? 
Beginnning to wish I had done it that way too. Hindsight is a great thing 
I got the Studio/Speed Editor when the SE first came out, and a combined price that was identical (at the time) to Studio.
Very pleased I did it that way … on the basis that I really couldn’t justify either on the their own at their individual price.
I was also a tad lucky in that my laptop has two GPU … and something I didn’t realise (at the time) that Studio took advantage of. Happy all round. 
I’m looking fwd to DR fully utilising my GPU as well.
I’d like some GPUs that can fully utilise DR! 
Mine are 7 year old tech … and not top of range at that time.
Just the single GPU? That won’t make so much difference. It’s the 2xGPU+ that makes the most difference.
Mine has a Intel HD Graphics 530 and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M.
Didn’t even know that when I got the laptop. 
It was a bit of an emergency purchase.
Mine just has the Intel integrated GPU (built in the processor) and the second is the Nvidia GPU. Cant fit another one apparently.
Similar to (but a lot younger than) mine, then. You should see improvements with Studio.
