    Crackerjack. Now all Apple needs is a time machine back to 2011 when they screwed up the rollout and disenfranchised Final Cut 7 users. No major production houses use it as their primary NLE. Only students, wedding videographers, indies with no little or no budgets and a handful of projects that want to attract free publicity by being one of few theatrical releases to use it.

      Sounds like you’re talking about a product you’ve never actually used, yourself. Are you going by your own personal experience, or by the conjecture of other people whose only experience with it was once back in 2011 when it first rolled out and then never touched it again despite its many updates that resolved many of the problems that they complained about in the first place? And for the record, I’m a paid intern for a major software company, and we LOVE FCPX, so I’m not sure where you’re getting your demographics statistics from, though I’m sure I can guess…

      • Yep, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Most of the production houses use it one capacity or another, not to mention tv shows and movies. Someone has bad intel or clearly isn’t a fan of fcpx. I feel bad for people who get stuck using old software as a revolt of learning something new.

        Really, which major production or post house that you know of uses it as their primary NLE? And yes, I do use because I get projects in FPX to handle.

  2. Watching these 4K videos is going to be great on the ATV

    this must be the last software group at Apple that hasn’t yet felt Johny’s ‘flat UI’ wrath – such a nice icon! :)
