Dave Dugdale fun NLE survey

[David Lawrence] “CS6 isn’t dead. It’s still being sold and still gets updates.”

To be clear here, David. We’ll release bug fixes to Premiere Pro CS6, not feature updates.

Thanks,
Kevin

The site owner is a Premiere CC user. Makes sense that he helps other Premiere users and those are what the stats reflect. I would have to say that is all they reflect, as he admits not being to sure what segment Avid MC is used for…

Once the products hits store shelves it’s locked. It is what it is. A new version will come out and users can either pay to upgrade or not pay and keep using what they already have.

Not that I’m a fan of CC but one of the up sides seems to be the addition of new features on a regular basis without the need to upgrade. Premiere’s updates are coming quite often and some certainly worthy of a .0 or new version release (round-tripping to Speedgrade for example).

In terms of the survey the conclusions you can draw from it are definitely limited given the results come from pretty much a single user base (as Dugdale states), however the DSLR market would surely be somewhere Apple would be looking to compete in with FCPX, and compared to Premiere it didn’t seem to be doing too well. I fully agree though that all those CS6 users have to go somewhere and it very well may not be to CC, so the same survey a year or two from now will be interesting.
