“Parts of the FCP team could have been temporarily reassigned to something more critical (iOS 8, Yosemite, etc.,) which would slow down the progress being made on FCP. Apple’s known for running a relatively small ship and moving people around as needed as opposed to bringing in a bunch of short term hires during busy times.

June 18, 2014 at 1:45 amYou’re right, but the rumours typically go that OSX developers get moved to iOS to meet a delivery deadline (or vice versa as was the case this year).
But I’m not sure Pro Apps devs fall into that same pool. Maybe they do, but the rumours of when that’s happened haven’t pointed to it.

I’d say that we’re focused on customer innovation and just making the best @)@# product we can. Are we going to promote all of the hard work we put into a new release? Of course.
Cheers,

June 18, 2014 at 10:39 amIndeed this is true, but there must still be a time where we turn the number or we end up with something like version 10.10.
Last year, we delivered Creative Cloud on June 17th, then three weeks later an update with 25 new features. The fall had another major release and a combined 150 features. Finally, we released another version in December with many more features. Along the way, we had a couple of additional dot releases that addressed some bugs. This is just the video products that I’m talking about and not anything else like print or web tools.
That is in stark contrast to once every 12 to 18 months – or at least I would like to think so. 😉

and I’m assuming we’ll be seeing another one today?
