Edits from iPhone to iMovie to FCPX

[Gary Huff] “But isn’t that “better” just a nebulous term? Are the results you give them going to be demonstratively better than if they just did it themselves with consumer gadget tools?”
Better is as convincing as you can make it as a sales person.
[Gary Huff] “someone who wants good video can do it all themselves and they don’t need to pay people to do the job they can do now.”
They’ve been able to do that for years already. Tools will continue to drop in price and they’ll even be more people with decent skills as a result.
That also means overhead drops as well and people adjust their business models.

Tell me one other industry where that is the case? Writing? Photography? Design? In all my years, I’ve not seen a significant rise in people with decent skills in any of these disciplines. Tools don’t create skills. Practice, perseverance and hard work create skills.

And wider availability of tools allows that.

But don’t inherently foster it. You assume that because FCPX has more features than iMovie that more people will now be drawn to creating videos. For most new users, the difference is marginal. Most experienced users have grown beyond both. Who is left that will be “allowed”?
