I would say that maybe I just didn't like them coming from FCP7 and earlier, as well as other programs such as After Effects, Lightwave, etc...

But it's just a poor system. For example, I wanted to do a very simple move. I have these videos that I produce for me and my co-workers weight loss challenge. I don't have time to mess around too much with them. So I needed the workflow to be pretty streamlined. Well, I built an image in Photoshop that captures data from Excel, easy!

Then I basically just use that image as a background for only the time the person is stepping on the scale. I would rather do a nice move, but I don't have time to mess with it. So I was fine with a simple transform to a box shot type move. I was even going to make it easier and make the move the same duration each time, and just copy and paste the keyframes from one clip to another.

Can you copy keyframes... sure. But once they are on the new clip, you can't move them as one unit. I have never come across key framing like this. So basically I have to move each keyframe separately, and that's just annoying.

Actually FCPX's copy paste attributes/Effects is WAY WEAKER than what it was in FCP7.

Hope that answers your question.
