    Sorry, still don’t see how that in any way contradicts the claim that it’s one of the fastest-growing skills for freelancers, which is what the link is all about. Nothing else. It appears you are trying to argue a point that was never actually made.

    [Loren Risker] “That Affinity app looks really cool.”

    Cool looking is one thing. SPEED and modern, efficient code is another.

    Just for sh***’n’giggles I performed a simple test/comparison a while back to compare the difference… the result being:

    That, for me, is more than just cool looking. But rather, if you think “time is money”, then money in the bank. Next to about 50 additional bucks a month more in fact.

    You challenged my 5:1 ratio. I pointed out where those numbers came from.

    [Robin S. Kurz] “It appears you are trying to argue a point that was never actually made”

    No, I’m merely pointing out that the actual raw numbers are smaller for FCPX and, as such, have less meaning than the headline implies. Hypothetically, if you grow from 1 to 5, that’s 500%, which sounds super. But if you only grow from 100 to 150, as a percentage of growth, it’s less impressive sounding.

    Are those actual jobs available? It appears to be
    freelancers available, which is a different thing entirely.

    To further clarify, it appears that we may have
    been ‘talking past’ each other. It appears, I
    thought you were talking about something
    different than you were. Freelancers who
    self identify with a certain skill is of more
    interest to companies looking to hire someone.
    It is the ‘supply’ side as opposed to the ‘demand’
    side, which is what I was looking at.

    I don’t know why I have to do everyone’s homework for them. ☺

    Go to the site and browse. Upwork lists available freelancers. It’s no different than fiverr.com. The survey simply states an upward trend in freelancer listings with those skills. A top 10 list based on percentage of growth from last year in freelance skills listings. If you go do a search by jobs, today it comes up as 66 for FCPX and 391 for Premiere Pro.

    Sorry if there was a miscommunication, but I thought that was pretty clear in the first post. No harm, no foul.

    In the very small world of freelancing in London for 30 years, from tape through Avid, Lightworks, Sony Xpri, Quantel & Adobe, I can count the number of fcpx jobs I’ve been offered on one finger .

    That’s an infinite number more than the Resolve jobs I’ve been offered, mind, and I’ve used Resolve pretty much weekly over the past few years. Plus I really like bits if FCPx but there is zero call for it, from clients, in my market

    [Trevor Asquerthian] “I can count the number of fcpx jobs I’ve been offered on one finger .”

    And then I’m in London a few times a year for FCP X jobs. Go figure.

    And I guess the BBC switching to FCP X for news globally is one really FAT finger then, too.

    Solipsism is a strange animal.

    Much the same experience. Fcpx might be used in bbc for some productions but for most long form stuff it’s avid or premiere. For now.
