Well deserved I might add. 🙂

[Simon Ubsdell] “[Shawn Miller] “Now if Motion disappeared… would the MoGraph community notice? ”

I don’t know about the mograph community – I doubt that anyone at Apple would even notice ;-)”

lol… I bet they would… That actually brings up something I’ve been wondering about for a while. Why does this choice exist:

I honestly don’t know the answer, but my fevered imagination can think of (hope for) some interesting possibilities.

EDIT: The Yosemite markup extension is pretty cool. I just drew a crappy arrow with the track pad and it became what you see above. Complete with a center point to make a curve. Things are getting interesting in OS X land… 🙂

Here is more than you ever wanted to know… 🙂

[Simon Ubsdell] “But for the record, they killed off an equally great app a lot more recently when they canned DS.”

Well, there you go. All video app vendors hate us, kill everything we like, and are evil. So I guess w’re stuck with tape to tape. Except they keep discontinuing the tape machines. The only solution is clear tape and razor blades. But there’s no more film and they’ll probably outlaw the blades soon because they’re dangerous.

Editing is a dying craft. :-p

[Shawn Miller] “What, you mean like After Effects? Yes, I think people would have noticed…
“

OK, I’ll give you that one. 😉

[Chris Harlan] “[Robin S. Kurz] “Need I go through the list from Adobe and Avid, so as to put yours to shame?”

Yeah, I kinda think you do.
“

lol. Avid hasn’t killed anything in 20 years, some might say *that* is the problem. 😉 Actually, they killed AudioVision which I loved. The move to PT kinda sucked.

And, until fairly recently, I don’t think anyone would have noticed if Adobe had killed any of their video apps.

[TImothy Auld] “And, just speaking of DVD’s for a moment – wasn’t the last iteration on FCPX quite proud about its ability to create Blu-Ray? A format that Apple had all but abjured before that?
“

I dunno if I’d use “proud”. 🙂 But it’s a feature, yes. No DVD’s though….

[TImothy Auld] “Need I go through the list of software that Apple has purchased and then killed?”

Nope. Color. Shake. And some hardware. FCS still works just fine, though for how long who knows. By the time it’s dead I expect X/Motion/Logic to cover most of, if not all and more, of the functionality that FCS had. Unless you want to burn DVD’s, then you’re SOL. I wish they hadn’t killed iWeb, it was a great program. The code it wrote was a godawful mess though. I don’t blame Apple for killing it. 🙂

[TImothy Auld] “Yes, seriously. Now what about the rest of the question?”

Oh, right…

[TImothy Auld] “But if this feature is such a game changer for FCPX then where is Apple in all of this? Why isn’t it all over their PR?”

First, Apple didn’t “burn” an industry. Second, the only People calling this a “Game Changer” are people on blogs. I’m sure Apple will put this on their In Action page at some point.
