Re: [Avid-L2] Re: FCP + NAB?

FYI...
I work in marketing for a major film studio. I recently polled the vendors we use in LA, as to which editing system they use. The result was 57% to 43% FCP. Most of the Avid house's were older and had been around for some time while most FCP house's were newer. 5-10 years. I don't really have an opinion but, Avid did skip out on NAB a few years a go while FCP attended the same year.

Or it may be. You have no evidence to know either way. Unfortunately
Apple's secretive culture doesn't lend itself to reassuring you that they're
still working hard on FCP.

I don't have much business sense but it seems to me that a financially
thriving Apple has even less incentive to become disinterested in Final Cut
Pro. If they were struggling they would start looking to drop dead weight.
I'm not saying that FCP is dead weight, just acknowledging the iPhone's
money making significance.
