Re: Oscar irony

[Bill Davis] "So that would indicate that it took at least 4 solid years of development IN APPLE (discounting the work done by the Macromedia team on KeyGrip before Ubillos and the team took it to Apple) before the software developed into something "Oscar level work worthy." "

I'm sure at some point, someone will cut an Oscar-winning film on X, but timescales have shrunk for development just as they have for editors. You cannot use the same 4-year yardstick in 2012. It's also not a matter of adding features back in as development progresses, but rather that Apple deliberately removed functions that affect how feature film editors work. I know X may not fit that niche - in which case Apple has factored that into the numbers and is comfortable with it. That makes it ironic, because after finally going many years without an Oscar win in this category, they've decided to move away from it, even though feature film editors served them well when they needed the PR value.
