Final Cut Pro X now has over 2 million users, Apple says

Final Cut Pro X now has over 2 million users, Apple says: "Final Cut Pro X —once a controversial redesign of Apple's professional video editing suite —has topped 2 million users, the company announced at this week's National Association of Broadcasters conference in Las Vegas."

The love-hate relationship has ended. Only the love remains.

Final Cut creator Randy Ubillos leaves Apple after 20 years

Final Cut creator Randy Ubillos leaves Apple after 20 years: "Ubillos started out at Adobe, where he worked on the first three versions of its Premier software. He later jumped ship to Macromedia where he helped to create KeyGrip, a pro video editing program based on Apple's QuickTime.

KeyGrip was later renamed Final Cut, though Macromedia could not release it due to licensing issues. Apple eventually purchased the Final Cut team and software outright, and saw its development through.

In addition to Final Cut, Ubillos was also responsible for the creation of both iMovie and Aperture during his time at Apple."

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Final Cut Pro X gets significant update with new features & RED camera support

Final Cut Pro X gets significant update with new features & RED camera support: "The Final Cut Pro X update also includes RED camera support with native REDCODE Raw editing, as well as optional background transcode to Apple ProRes."

Everyone raves about the RED, with good reason. However, for HD at 720p, the Panasonic GF2 is more than more than good enough for film-quality principal photography.
