Someone give me quaintifiable evidence of FCPX market penetration. Features. Industrials. Commercials. Weddings. Where?

OK, now I get it. I guess that’s why Adobe did not heavily promote “Gone Girl.”

[TImothy Auld] “And what I’m saying is that even is WB wanted to suppress that “Focus” was cut in FCPX they would not be able to. Money does control the conversation. And Apple has money. Yes?”
Hypothetically, Apple could’ve gone to WB and been like, “Hey, we really want X to be used on a big, hollywood feature” to which WB replied, “Sure, but no info gets out until the movie is in theaters.” Apple’s market cap don’t mean jack if WB has what Apple wants. It’s about who needs who more.
Of course this is all assuming Apple is directly involved with X being used on Focus. It could just be that the editors on Focus wanted to use FCP X so they did. That would be my first guess.

A lot of assumptions there.

No. NDA’s do not exist between corporations. That is governed by contracts. NDA’s exist between corporations and individuals. Cite me something to the contrary.

[Andrew Kimery] “the editors on Focus wanted to use FCP X so they did. That would be my first guess.”
And that is what happened. And for Tim, it’s not an assumption. Here is the editors twitter feed. He likes FCP X. Weird huh?

Yeah- when GONE GIRL was released!
Other than the blanket announcement “GONE GIRL TO BE CUT ON PREMIER”, none of the numerous BTS stuff from Adobe or the article here on Creative Cow were published until October, and mostly November- AFTER the film was released.

Please go back to the historical record and see if you can figure out when Adobe “officially” began promoting it. Hint: It was right before the film came out, and well after the ad campaign was underway. If Apple and others aren’t talking about Focus this February I’ll eat my hat. 😉

[TImothy Auld] “A lot of assumptions there.”
A lot of assumptions started this thread.
I don’t think “Hey, maybe the editors just wanted to use FCPX” is that big of assumption. How many projects are cut on FCP 7, X, PPro, Avid MC, Lightworks, etc., just because that’s what the editor(s) and/or post supervisor wanted to use, and how many projects use those tools because of a deal between the production company and the NLE provider?

Citation, please. Why do I have to go back?

[TImothy Auld] “Citation, please. Why do I have to go back?”
You don’t. But that was the timeline. Please continue to believe whatever you want.
