Final Cut is scalable and has been used in feature films in addition to small scale docs and ads. Michael Moser From: Rev.

Yes I have seen the tag lines in a number of movies. However they have not made the inroads with those as they have with the small scale movie developer.

Re: [CGUYS] CNET News.com: Final Cut Pro the Apple of Oscar's eye - CNET News
Well they seem to have a winner here with FCP. It will not revolutionize the industry, but it sure is making a dent. Enabling budding producers to make movies that will get noticed.

What a laugh. The story reads like an ad for FC Studio, not surprising since it's in Cnet's Apple section. But in fact what it says is that most of the nominees did *not* use FCP.

Re: [CGUYS] CNET News.com: Final Cut Pro the Apple of Oscar's eye - CNET News
I think the key is that it did say. Final Cut Pro has almost 50 percent market share in the nonlinear editor space, outperforming competitors like Avid. Many of the big studios and editors may not use it, instead using dedicated expensive editing suites. (They were pretty specific to state non linear) It is pretty powerful. A good product.

Re: [CGUYS] CNET News.com: Final Cut Pro the Apple of Oscar's eye - CNET News
That's one area of film making. * Of course, Final Cut Pro isn't the only product available for filmmakers, but it is the most popular now. According to market research firm SCRI International, Final Cut Pro has almost 50 percent market share in the nonlinear editor space, outperforming competitors like Avid. * Later in the article that was written. Just sub 50% share is pretty good. Avid is the other serious player in the field, not Adobe. Wiki claims that FCP only has about 20% when it comes to the pros in the editors guild...you know the guys with A.C.E at the end of their names when you go see a flick. The other 80% is Avid or other. On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 8:40 PM, phartz...@gmail.com phartz...@gmail.comwrote: On Sun, Mar 7, 2010 at 9:55 PM, Tony B ton...@gmail.com wrote: What a laugh.
