Re: FCP X internationally

I remember this question was raised in one of the last "that post show" podcasts. I even posted on Steve Cohen blog about it. They asked where were those 800.000 copies of FCP that apple liked to brag about.
Well, here in Brazil, at least in my area, one has to look very hard to find anyone working with Avid. To be fair, the main network, works with avid but most of everyone one else doesn't. So, this is a FCP land. Brazil has a very strong and stabilshed TV culture, and its governement is investing a lot of cash in the cinema industry, through tax breaks etc. (just to point out that this is a country that recently outgrown GB in GDP, and it has 190 million habitants).
And because Steve asked me before, most of these copies are legal. At least, if it is a proper production company, they will hold legal copies. Maybe that's not the case for freelancers tho'

About FCPX, I believe everyone is still wating to decide what to do. One thing is certain, it's very difficult to argue against 300 bucls.

Myself, i was raised on FCP but educated in England on Avid. I fell in love with it, and for narratives, there's nothing like it. Dammm, that trim tool is so sexy!

Now, let me go back to the carnival :-)
