[Ricardo Marty] “Lightworks (maybe 20 years old) is said to have the closest workflow of traditional film editors on moviolas and similar”
I dunno, mostly works like any other modern NLE with tracks. The UI now is way better since the single window redesign. Previously it was like MC, i.e. lot’s of disconnected windows. Some people like the ability to make a mess, er.. organize their windows, not me. ☺

[Herb Sevush] “I’m not doubting you but asking in all earnestness – can you elaborate?”
Mostly the UI, but also some under the hood stuff, which is why it works so well with FCPXML. My understanding is they worked with Apple on a number of things early on. But… things like clip Fade handles, animation graphs that expand from clips, browser clip skimming, the Inspector functionality… the layout of the app actually, lots of stuff. To me, it’s the closest track based NLE to X, and that’s by design.
Pr has also borrowed/bolted on a bunch inspired by X. Search Bins, hover scrub, proxies, Essential Graphics and Sound, to name the most obvious.
Whatever. I’m over the fanboy crap honestly, most of these Cow threads just leave me shaking my head now. I use Pr as much as X and know it just as well. And I do mess with Resolve, and still open MC now and again just to make sure I remember how it works. lol I do have a strong preference though, I like the NLE that makes my job easier. 😉

[Bob Zelin] “and the fan boys reply – “yes, only if Apple releases it !”. “
Just for reference, not everyone that uses FCP X feels that way. At all.

[Michael Gissing] “Yes like all RAW camera codecs there is no need to transcode. I edit with R3D and cDNG all the time but only a camera can record raw sensor data. That’s what I mean by camera originating. “
Gotcha…
[Michael Gissing] “Regarding Apple wanting to share their jewels, they must get Blackmagic and Arri onboard. If they allow them to use the codec then Win & Linux machines that run NLEs must be able to handle this codec to edit in the same way that they do now with all other flavors of ProRes”
Yeah, be interesting to see where they go with it.

[Michael Gissing] “This must be a camera originating format only so the other flavors of ProRes for finishing codecs remain important”
From what I’ve heard, you can edit with these files just fine, no need to transcode.
[Michael Gissing] “If however it only works on a Mac with FCPX installed then I hope the industry avoid it as proprietary codecs are such a pain”
Think that’ll be the case for a while, but it’s just another ProRes flavor, and I’d imagine Apple wants people to use it, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see that change..

Yes, the extensive use of AI in NLE’s from Avid, Adobe, and BMD will be really hard for Apple to beat…

[Oliver Peters] “Even Microsoft apparently still has a one-time-purchase option for Office:
“It’s nuts that there’s no “own” option for Adobe stuff.
That said, I use Pr at work, rent it, and the $1 increase is no biggie. But… I will never in a million years cut a personal project in Pr, because someday I might stop renting it and then I no longer have access to my work. Sure, I can rent it for a month to revisit something, but what if years have passed and the app won’t open the project? With Avid (which I own) FCP X (which I own) and others, if I stop paying I’m just frozen in time, not dead in the water.
Honestly, It’s even more insane that anyone rents Photoshop, though I guess you can open PSD’s in pretty much anything these days…

I know I’m late to this, but…
[Laura Scott] “Apple undermines their own success if they try to force vertical integration with only their own prosumer-level software.”
wait… what year is it? 2012? ☺
[Laura Scott] “Personally I lean toward PP right now because the cutting interface makes more sense to me, (SNIP) …Whereas FCP has always been a quirky bizarre app designed by people who apparently had no familiarity with existing editing systems.”
Ahh… memory lane… hehe
