FCP HD seems to have lost to Premier Pro. Thats too bad. Maybe its political because apple winning in every category would make people angry. Although they did win an award for HD over Firewire, which is FCP’s new feature.
Why did Adobe take the Video editing award???
Becuase it was politically correct? We like winning, but not like Microsoft!
Motion is great because of the price…After effects is a thousand dollars, but the 2 programs do the same things. Genius. I hope they don’t jack up the price.
Hey, everything on this earth is politics. You better believe it.
Final Cut Pro HD was a .5 update, not a major release. The biggest innovation included in the update (HD over FireWire) won two awards.
think of it this way you can give the same movie the academy award for best movie 2 years in a row. just think LOTR etc apple still got plenty of awards
