I wonder if the foley footsteps were foley’d?

[Lance Bachelder] “They could stop making Pro apps and Mac Pro’s tomorrow and probably be a more efficient company. My guess is that day is coming… eventually.”
[Scott Witthaus] “And the day Avid disappears is coming too. And the day Adobe cranks up it’s subscription price is coming. And the day BMD realizes it’s stretched WAY to thin and kills the free Resolve because it eats into the potential sales of it’s paid version…”
Don’t panic, friends. When that seventh seal cracks open, Autodesk Smoke will be there to Change Everything.

[Eric Santiago] “So true. Im but f’ of nowhere and I havent seen a nMP at the local Apple Store since 2013.”
Is it an official Apple store? They should all have the same stuff in every store.

[Darren Roark] “hey should all have the same stuff in every store.
“I don’t believe that’s true because It depends on sales around town. If you are in a location with more than one store, they often call around to the other stores (or check their computerized inventories) to find a configuration that might not exist in that specific location.

For the hardware manufacturers supporting multiple paid versions of apps is hell. With Resolve, if you are using it for ‘pro stuff’ you need to buy a thing from them.
Plus you give away the color grading thing, it’s easier to find all the would be colorists out there in the world who will demand to use Resolve.
Win/win.
Unless some securities laws change, this is the new normal.

That’s just the “efficient assortment” retail thing in action.
There’s a base stocking profile that gets adjusted within limits by the store management in response to their sales. A store in LA to service the huge creative community there will be stocked differently than a store in say, Lexington KY.
Stores near colleges probably sell more headphones than stores near major retirement areas.
Just how retail works.

“But where do you cut off the “free stuff”? So many people like Resolve because it’s free. And it can kind of edit. Where does BMD say “no, that’s it. Any more and you pay $999”.

“I was meaning demo units in the main bit of the store. My understanding is that they are supposed to have the same products on display consistently. Not necessarily the same quantity.
