Which improvements would you like for the video mode ?

I was sure that video AF would be excellent - until I tried it

The NX300 autofocuses a lot when it's not necessary; a simple reframing of the scene (point just a smidge lower or higher) and AF is off again, improving things. Perhaps I can find a better AF mode that is less resistant to "perpetual AF" but in the meantime I'm feeling better about manual focus with my video.

Let me admit though - I use video a lot less than I expected to, with Pentax or Samsung gear.

I haven't looked for it in the temporary install of Prem CS6 that's on my editing PC at the moment.
Guys I work with have used it on crApple Mac apps.
I'm tempted to see how well the Edius one works - I usually shoot around the skew, rather then having to fix it in post. Think I've got just the piece of K-01 vs BMPCC footage to use.

I hope you'll have a moment to share your experience with CS6 after the cut is completed.

I can tell you right now, it's still shite.

FFS, can't even keyframe the luma curves!
