Apple has been able to create pro level software for both audio and video editing industries. If Adobe/Microsoft scraped its mac line of products, I bet Apple would have a competing product out in 12 months that graphic designers would flock to.
- carbon8 16y agoNote, however, that those were all originally acquisitions. FCP was born at Macromedia and Apple purchased the product and hired the team. Shake came from the Nothing Real acquisition. Logic is from the Emagic acquisition.
- Keyframe 16y agoNot to mention all of those applications had a windows version. Yes, even Final Cut (at least the version they shopped at NAB). I personally got royally screwed over Nothing Real purchase (we had a site license of both linux and windows version). Chalice, Shake (and Tremor), Final Cut, Logic, India Pro... - all acquisitions followed by "Mac only from now on, sorry".
