Alex Gollner's editing blog, alex4d: Editing organized, has been a great source of free custom effects and tutorials since FCPX was released. His most recent effect, Curves, allows for more control over the way transform and trim controls work in FCPX.

In this article from fcp.co, Dustin Hoye, the Lead Editor/Developer at Sour Squirrel Studios describes how his company supplies a national US broadcaster with half hour shows cut exclusively on Final Cut Pro X.

Definitely a must read for FCPX editors.
