that’s a very careful little side point though isn’t it jeremy? doesn’t imovie come installed on every piece of mac desktop hardware? isn’t the consumer vastly more likely to encounter it by default in his or her dock on day one? Upgrades maybe, but imovie is actually handed to the consumer in the vast number of cases no?

getting them used to it and then hitting them with a tasty iMovie+ expansion for 299 – that’d be monetisation.

Reeaallly?

Is that the only bit? What about the my little pony yellow selection boxes, the skimmable clip lozenges, the very actual identical buttons for going into iPhoto and iTunes, because that’s where we keep royalty free music and the Getty images.. Amirite??

Then there’s the crop tool, the ken burns effect.. Everything up there, the actual operation of audio handling and visualisation of audio and peaking – All these things aren’t like iMovie – they are identical to iMovie

This thing is made out of iMovie spare parts with a bunch of buggy new stuff soldered on. Its essential goal is to appeal to, and monetise, the consumer video enthusiast base.

ah seriously craig –

sure let’s count them:

[Craig Seeman] “I heard the costs were steep relative to income given server, bandwidth, contracts for artists, payouts, etc.”

[Craig Seeman] ” I heard the cost are very high.”

[Craig Seeman] ” It’s not like FCPX, Logic, Aperture are cash cows. They aren’t from what I’ve heard.”

you alone on this forum are privately hearing all these things from Apple loud and clear – how are you hearing these things that underpin your specific argument that a simple prosumer appstore rejig of imovie for a simple pay day doesn’t pay?

Craig. Come on.

I don’t think pulling 32 bit iMovie code into 64 bit FCPX code is a corporate moon shot.

Seriously – try the timeline audio-peaking. its literally identical. the idea that apple had to go to software jupiter and back to produce a paid for kludge of iMovie is hard to believe – doesn’t this at all feel like an unstable, monetised expansion of iMovie? Isn’t that what this is?

ah come on Ben – this forum is, by name and definition, a debating forum. there should be nothing unpleasant or wrong about boisterous debate?

It’s debate. there are rules, and if we do not adhere to them, I can really tell you that the cow will and does slap us down.
