[Robert Gilman] “the similarities between them are pretty apparent if you look at both of them.”
Yeah, I never understood why certain people never wanted to admit that iMovie and FCPX share code. I recall some earlier posts that said they were entirely different beasts. And yet, FCPX can import iMovie projects, and now the differences between them are even more slight.
I would think Apple would eventually merge the two. Perhaps iMovie for iOS and FCPX for OSX. Makes sense, one team for one app. If you don’t want the advanced features, you never have to use them.
Of course, they would require FCPX going free or dropping heavily in price, so perhaps there will always be two different apps.
