[Marcus Moore] “I wonder what AVIDs growth looks like at this stage? As the most mature product in the most mature markets, I’d certainly expect their growth to be far less than FCP X or Pr.”
Is there any way of finding out how many copies of FCPX have actually been sold since launch?

At NAB, Apple told Larry Jordan “over 1 million”. Later I found out that was distinct purchases, not just installs from a single AppleID.
I’ve always had the mental number in my mind that meant around 1.2 million. Over a million, but not close enough to 1.5 to let them say that, though they could be at that number now, or over. I imagine we’ll hear again when they cross 2million, cause it would match sales of Legacy FCP.
After the thread below, I was wondering about the adoption curve, and if there was any way to get closer to that. There are 3rd parties that use different metrics to figure out individual apps downloads and revenue- one I found is AppAnnie. If you had a Pro account, we could get their estimates on FCP X sales. I haven’t emailed to see how much that would be.

1 million + !
That’s a lot of people enjoying themselves and a big lump of Mac computers.

[Gary Huff] “Frankly, I have experienced more crashes and hang-ups with FCPX than with Premiere 2014 so far. On a nMBPr maxed out.”
I find them both to be pretty stable. I will say that, on the occasions that X has crashed in the last 2+ years I’ve been using it for real, I have lost work once, which was quickly restored from a backup. Every other time i’ve just reopened it and whatever edit I did right before the crash was still there. I can’t say the same of Pr, 7, MC, or anything else.

I agree with the FCPX “creeping in” – I’m starting to see that here in LA where a lot of younger Editors that may use whichever NLE at work have FCPX on the laptop and cut all their own stuff in FCPX.
I would bet that most of the FCP7 hold-outs are more likely to end up on FCPX than anything else. FCPX gets significantly better the longer they wait while there most likely won’t be radical changes to Premiere or MC.
It was at a Vegas premiere that I resolved to become an avid FCPX user.

Setting aside the contentious debate about uh… well everything regarding X, 😉 I really find that it feels the most like FCP 7 as far as KB operations, editing/adjusting audio, dragging stuff around etc. Clearly the 2 are wildly, ridiculously different… I’m just talking about how it feels to work in once you get comfortable with it.

Interesting, but what does that have to do with how lightworks?

Edius was left off this list. I used it everyday for about 2 years before I finally crashed it. I used to try to crash it for fun. Say, grab half a dozen filters and lay them on a couple thousand clips at once. It would just pin wheel for about 5 seconds and then go right on playing. Things a tank.

Dang I shoulda worked that in, was totally stuck with Edius too…
I like Lightworks by the way – would love to do a show in it from start some day.
