That’s a good piece. Did you happen to notice that the little 13 year old skateboarder was cutting his videos in Legend?
Interesting”
I did! And one of the other older guys was cutting in X.
I guess X isn’t for everyone? 🙂

Legend was not exactly cheap. Might have been a reach for him, or like many, somebody gives you a copy of the disk (not so far out of reach). Many who make more than that kids family take free when given.
No disk for X You have to pay, and maybe he couldn’t.
I have no ideal really, just wondering aloud the decisions form different people in different circumstances.
Just trying to look deeper to what may lead to certain decisions on different levels.
Even Apple in moving away from disk or the CC subscription.
X is cheaper than Legend was, but in that kids case does it help or hurt him?

Legend is, for all intents and purposes, free at this point. And readily available. Anyone with a little internet savvy and a torrent client can get it in no time. 😉

It was always free, if somebody gave it to you : )
You didn’t need to be that savvy, they just give you the disk and code.

No question.
“This is my living room, this is where my dad sleeps (points to bed in the living room), (points to couch in living room) I lay down there … sometimes”
Perhaps, using 7 was mostly out of necessity (although he has sponsors and a Mac laptop, I’m sure if he wanted, he could ask one of those sponsors to buy X for him).
I’m sure that 7 is easier to “get” than X at this point, but…
Isn’t it just the least bit ironic that a skateboarder was NOT using X, but rather FCP7, since X, apparently, was created “for skateboarders”?

Not at all. While young, clearly he is a professional. Why would he use iMovie Pro, an amateur NLE? I can’t believe you couldn’t see that Jeremy. :-p

“Here’s the irony: one of the earliest stock insults hurled at X is that it’s only suited to cutting skateboard videos! In fact, there’s a thread at the COW from 2004 where someone accuses Legend of the same thing — being best suited for skateboard videos!
So it looks like the guy 10 years ago was right, that Legend is the right tool for skateboard videos. LOL

“That made me sad when he said that, and when his videos seem to devolve into almost a soft core porn
to get attention.He was a talented skateboarder, wish it had been enough.
But a topic for another day.
