Someone give me quaintifiable evidence of FCPX market penetration. Features. Industrials. Commercials. Weddings. Where?
-
Now the Monty Python made reading call the arguments above,worthwhile. As a FCPX guy, I have been feeling marooned on an island, since taking a video production class at the local college in Berkeley, where they only use PP. Unless I learn PP, (unlikely), I am limited in collaboration opportunities for sure.

Would this make you a comma, comma, comma chameleon?

It seemed like they had a good amount of purchases … myself included. Sadly, I haven’t even used it much.
Purely speculation: Based on water-cooler talk with fellow editors in my realm of broadcast, it seems like Premiere Pro has basically won the passage rights to be the “next NLE.” That’s not to say FCPX isn’t technically superior in some ways … there’s just so many people out there that aren’t caring/using FCPX that it’s sort of a circular argument.

[Daniel Frome] “Based on water-cooler talk with fellow editors in my realm of broadcast, it seems like Premiere Pro”
I have no doubt that’s true. But places where editors don’t hang out by the water-cooler are places where FCP X can gain traction. This includes documentary production, news production, one-man band productions, wedding productions, web video production, institutional productions, to name a few. Whether FCP X develops more market share in broadcast work or not, there is still a sizable market for it.
Personally, I use FCP X because it’s the fastest at what I need to do. I think there are also broadcast edits where this is true also (not every edit, you trolls). In places where people don’t care whats “in” and what’s “out”, I think FCP X can make some headway.

[Craig Seeman] “One has to wonder about Apple’s marketing of FCPX. The In Action page is “dormant” to say the least.
Personally, these days I think Apple’s marketing is the weakest link.”I completely forgot about this page.
If I wanted FCPX news, I come here and rarely visit fcp.co.

Maybe we are all responding to the wrong question. There probably is a lot of “quaint” use of FCP X.

[Walter Soyka] “Why?”
How can one make an informed decision or commentary then they are forced to one platform? I know this is the reality for many staff editors at larger shops.
