Re: Article: What a Long, Strange Year It's Been!

[John Christie] "it's too bad Apple couldn't or wouldn't sell the code to a company that could continue development on it."

They can't. A lot of the "intellectual properties" and features still being used "under the hood" that would require Apple to license back the technology if they sold it. So from what I understand the suite of products will never be sold unless Apple completely abandons the applications. But then iMovie also has some of that technology wrapped in there too, so it's a moot point.

Better to just move on for now and keep an eye on where FCP X goes. If it becomes viable or folks actually start requesting it in the future, we can add it back to the toolbox.
