    Yep. Converting a program to 64-bit doesn’t mean you have to destroy the underlying fundamentals in the process. That excuse is “kaka.”
    Been using it for just 2 years myslef (Nuendo before that), and I wouldn’t go back – unless they retarget it or invent another paradigm for it. Heh.
    I’m still laughing at Aindreas’ rant when he discovered the audio community might be escaping the “let’s-make-it-nifty” strategy that just hit the editing community. Too funny. 🙂

    “Over 2 million seats sold”

    True for Premiere Pro and FCP, if Apple and Adobe are to be believed equally.

    Do anybody heard of any PP to FCPX migration?

    [Richard Cardonna] “Adobe has many more seats than even fcp any version”
    Many, many more.
    The market is not any more just North America, Japan and the EU.
    Macs are not a general option. Most video editors around the world simply can’t access a Mac.
    For each Mac editing video, probably there are 10 PCs doing the same (BTW, MANY, many of them running FCP).

    [Leo Hans] “What does the percentage say without establishing the user base before?

    You can try to analyze this from a statistic, philosophical or even paradigmatic point of view, but this is a slap in Apple’s face.

    And do you think that pro Pr seats are near close to FCP seats?

    FCP and AVID are the standard of the pro industry. 45% of Pr seats increase doesn’t change that. (at least not yet, and I think it’s a matter of time to FPCX start to grow in the pro industry. Time will tell).

    Really Gary. The guy from Adobe is posting shit on the Final Cut Pro forum…and I’M trolling. That’s pretty funny.

    No. The number of seats of FCP doubles Avid and Premiere combined. Premiere is actually ahead of Avid, according to Apple’s numbers, but that may be by way of the production bundle.

    All the best,

    Why not?.

    Adobe sold a lot of Pr copies but bundled with other apps. That doesn’t mean people are using it. The news was about Pr stand alone copies if I am not wrong.
