I strayed upon the following, informative:

- 5thwall May 8
- I’ve been using FCPX, mostly. $299 as most everyone knows. But the real cost is closer to $1300 when you add up all the plugins to get more pro support.
- My list of “helper” apps:
- Compressor: $50
- Motion: $50
- Pro Versioner $60 (for backing up events and projects)
- Event Manager X: $5 (a must for dealing with loads of events – hopefully Apple will institute better mgmt in software)
- Xto7: $50 (hate X? send it to 7!)
- 7toX: $10 (love X? send it from 7 to X!)
- Sync-N-Link: $200 (replicates Avid functionality for syncing clips with jam synced audio)
- SliceX with Mocha: $150 (great tracker and object remover)
- Lock & Load: $100 (a much better image stabilizer)
- X2Pro Audio Convert: $150 (export to AAF)
- Pluraleyes: $200 (sync multiple clips with multiple tracks of non-timecoded audio to separate clips FCPX can’t currently do that unless you make a multiclip).
- Davinci Resolve Lite: Free
- Total for FCPX and helper Apps: $1325
