    I’m pretty sure that “28 days later” was cut in Final Cut…but I don’t know how much that does for you… 🙂

    wikipedia says these movies were cut on FCP:

    Cold Mountain
    George Washington
    Gunner Palace
    Intolerable Cruelty
    Napoleon Dynamite
    Spellbound
    Super-Size Me
    Open Water
    The Rules of Attraction
    Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
    The Ladykillers
    Corpse Bride
    Jarhead
    Dreamer: Inspired by a True Story
    Little Manhattan

    I’ve also heard that Scrubs was the first primetime show to be cut fully on FCP.

    Yup, Walter Murch uses it (Cold Mountain, Jarhead) and that’s all you need to know.

    while i think its awesome that the much-inator uses it,

    im willing to bet he signed a contract to use it, no more different than how lebron james signed a contract with a shoecompany.

    i havent notices murch’s editing getting better or worse with the software, the dude knows how to cut a movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Hey certainly didn’t sign a contract with apple to edit on Final Cut. He chose the software because he thought that was the best solution for the job (Cold Mountain) He wrote a book about the experience.

    “Scrubs” on NBC is the most well-known primetime show I believe.

    We cut “Good Eats” in High Defintion for the Food Network on our FCP / Kona 2 system.

    Not everything, but yes – it’s generally true. Avid still pretty much rules Hollywood. It’s ingrained in the business culture of post there. Whether that will change any time soon is another question.
