Apple Announces over 1 million installs of FCPX
-
[Oliver Peters] “1 million FCP X units sold.”
Oliver,
Is this new info? The Larry Jordan link claims “installations” which would seem to imply demos as well.
[Oliver Peters] “Avid stated there are 3 million users of SOME Avid product. This would include all versions of Media Composer, Pro Tools, storage, Interplay, Avid Graphics and Sibelius.”
Source?

[Oliver Peters] “Likewise, the majority of revenue that is generated by Avid is through the sales of shared storage.”
Oliver,
You and Craig have both expressed this opinion before and it’s wrong according too what I’ve read.
Their most recent filings, for example (2011) are in line with the claim that the revenue breakdown is 40% Video, 40% Audio, 20% Services.
Do you have a source?
Franz.

“Avid Video” includes storage, newsroom automation, playout servers, character generators and broadcast graphics, ingest, and literally over 200 products that never get talked about in this forum.
(No kidding. You can look it up. A lot of it is broadcast stuff that never touches post, which is why it’s so easy to overstate the effect that FCP has had on Avid’s fortunes. Only a fraction of what you’d think.)
So basically, everything but audio and services. 🙂

But didn’t just about every single person here own Premiere since CS3 and never used it? It came with the Production Bundle, which included AE, PS, IL, Premiere, and even Dreamweaver. I’m guessing Adobe counted all those installs of Premiere.

Even worse than no money! In huge debt. It’s a real problem in the US.

[Richard Herd] “Even worse than no money! In huge debt. It’s a real problem in the US.”
Over $1.2 trillion as of last June, just before federal college loan rates DOUBLED on July 1.
The total amount of student loan debt is now bigger than the total amount of credit card debt or auto loan debt in the US. It will remake the next generation of the American economy — my own guess, vastly moreso than the sub-prime housing crisis.
You can use your own politics to make a conclusion about HOW that will happen, etc…but it’s already starting to happen….

[James Culbertson] “Currently, most students use FCPX and only one or two per semester choose to use Premiere. I wonder how they account for those kinds of situations”
James, that’s a great point that I was just about to ask. I am seeing the exact same thing where I teach.

[Tim Wilson] “use your own politics”
I’ve written my Senators (Reid and Heller ) and also Senator Warren (that) a very good solution is to make employer contributions to a loan repayment plan in a similar way to retirement and health benefits and also that repayment interest should be 100% deductible.
If student loan debt were to be treated like regular debt (ie susceptible to bankruptcy write down), the resulting collapse would be … well, collapse.
-
To add to the OT, the reason there are so many giant loans for college, is because of the ease of getting giant loans for college. (or cars, or houses, or anything you can’t really afford). Just saying… It’s a result of the finacialization of, well, everything over the last 20-30 years… IMO of course. 🙂

Well, considering that many if not most of the participants here are former or current FCP users, you might get a somewhat skewed response here. Probably lots more long term PPro users on other forums.
