What hostility? We are just pointing out that a PR release is wrong. We do this with other NLE makers too.

If you need to deliver the promos as NDF, why are you using a DF timeline? Use NDF all the way.
And Dave, anything under a min you can use an NDF timeline and be time accurate.

Well, typically when we hear “Hollywood movie,” that means something that has been released theatrically…in theaters. Not a TV movie. Not shaming that accomplishment at all, nor the medium. Just the terminology used isn’t aimed at TV movies.

You really ought to learn the newest version. The way you import media is different. Support for current cameras is present. Many timeline tools and functions are different. 5.5 might give a base on how to navigate the app, but plenty has changed.

“FAKE NEWS!”
Sorry, just had to say that.
I agree with Oliver, statements like that need to be backed up, or have a basis in reality. And yes, if an independent film used it, and won a SPIRIT award or other film festival…that would count in my book (even though the term “Hollywood film” typically means made by a major studio). So if they make that claim, back it up.
Although I personally hate that type of marketing…and Avid does it ALL THE TIME. “THESE BEST PICTURE WINNERS/NOMINEES WERE ALL CUT ON AVID!” So? is that what made them good? No, it was the story and the direction and the acting and the editing…NOT the tools. I bet if the best picture was shot with a BlackMagic Pocket Cinema Camera and used lower end lighting, and was cut on FCX or Say Resolve, it would still have won. Because it wasn’t the tool that made it great, it was the talent BEHIND the tools.
BUT, the claim those companies like to make is that “our product enabled the creatives to do what needed to be done, properly and efficiently, in order to make the great film they did.” Fine..OK…whatever.
But for Apple to make that claim that award winning Hollywood films were cut using FCX…they need to back up the claim. WHERE’S THE BEEF!

Get a WEB CAM and use another computer to power that, aim that at the monitor.

Yes Bill…we get it. Apple is “Mary Poppins” to you…Practically perfect in every way. Can do no wrong, at all, about anything, ever. Everything they do fits PERFECTLY in your world, so therefor everyone elses needs don’t matter, and everyone else is wrong, and living in the stone age. Headphone jacks are for Neanderthals…machines that allow the end user to upgrade or add ANYTHING to it are antiques.
Apple walks on water…
Got it.
(Why do I even bother responding here?)

The monitor isn’t 5K…as was pointed out. And I already have monitors, and if I want new ones, I can get new ones. And if I want to swap them out, I can.
WHAT in this iMac can you swap out? Anything? Hearing rumors even the RAM is no longer something we can upgrade manually…it all has to come pre-packaged.
Sorry, I’ve been a mac fan and mac user for 30 years, and when the MacPro tube came out…my confidence in Apple was shaken. iTunes fiasco making it worse, the FCX bomb (IMHO…mainly how it handled the transition and announcement)…it’s just going downhill.
