Yup. The only true data points we’ve had were the “more than FCP7” from NAB2012, and the “more than one million unique” this year.
Everything else is Kremlinology.
I would say that chances are that if there’s more than one mil unique IDs being used, then the number of machines it’s being used on is certainly higher- by what factor we can only guess. 1.5X? 2X?

I think the ship has sailed for this week. But I remain optimistic we’ll see something for NAB. Insanity has surely set in.

History certainly points to a maintenance release. And we’re not really that far away from the Dec19th release of 10.1. But two points to consider-
1. We’ve already had a bug release with 10.1.1
2. just how fast that bug release came out (less than a month) and because of how painfully slow on orders the MacPro was… one could conclude that 10.1 was sitting around waiting for release with the MP for quite some time. Dates on RippleTraining vids show they had it in their hands in at least October.

If we don’t see a release this week, it will be the first time since 2011 we haven’t had an FCP X update pre-NAB. Both those updates [10.0.4 and 10.0.8] were pretty minor.
The optimist in me says that if 10.1.2 is a feature release, they’d want to have their Press briefings first, which as Oliver mentions they typically have this weekend. So we’ll see what we hear from the regulars- Scott Simmons, Larry Jordan, and Philip Hodgetts.
Beyond the 5 basic areas of improvement I keep harping on-
• Audio Mixing
• Role-based timeline organization
• Logic/Motion interchange
• Improved CC tools
• collaborative editingHere are some specifics I’m hoping to see
• CinemaDNG support
• RED 3rd party GPU support [in the most recent Resolve and announced for upcoming Premier]
• improved XML
• scrolling timeline [just to throw a bone to Richard Taylor, who’s had this at the top of his request list since the beginning] -
It’s great news. It’s come a long way in the last few years, and it would be silly for Fincher to keep holding onto FCP7 with all the deficits it has for modern camera formats.

[Gary Huff] “Yep, pitch-shift scrubbing is totally worth entirely scrapping your Adobe-based workflow for FCPX.”
Yup. Cause that’s what I said…
I was only pointing out the proverbial yin and yang. Good ideas from X make it over to Pr, and an idea from Pr Id like to see make it over to X.

At least one thing FCPX has had since launch: pitch-shift scrubbing.
And at least one legitimately cool thing in the ability to add effects/CC to items in the browser, and have it downstream to all the clips in your timelines. I’d like to see that in X. You can currently phoney that by doing a “open in timeline” and adding effects to that, but this removes a step.
All the NLEs will trade back and forth the best of breed features.
With a large and growing subscriber base, I don’t see Adobe slowing down any time soon.
Looking forward to seeing what Apple may have to offer. No pre-NAB maintenance release yet. Maybe that means a feature release next week after the press briefings this weekend.

That’s it exactly. None of these decisions are permanent or irreversible. People moved from AVID to FCP. People move from FCP to AVID or PP. In a couple years who knows which way the wind will blow.
If the way things are are the way thing will always be, then FCP Legacy would never have gained marketshare, and Premier would still the crap product it was 5 years ago.
Things change.

Lots of good stuff. Very disappointed to not be going this year. But a $1800 drive failure ate my NAB money.

3 year anniversary. What is that? Tin foil? 😉
