[Tig] FC Color query

[Dick Hobbs]

Hooray for Craig! Sense at last!

Apple have done an astounding job with Final Cut Pro, and I am sure  
they will do an astounding job in time with Color (although it needs  
a lot of work at the moment).

Final Cut Pro brought real, professional quality editing tools to the  
masses. They are so good that actually quite a lot of professionals  
use it, but the main aim of Final Cut Pro is to bring professional  
quality editing to the masses - 800,000 licenses sold. At the NAB  
event launching Color they explicitly said that they wanted to do for  
colour correction what they had done for editing. Which is bring it  
to the masses.

Apple's interest is in delivering Color to those 800,000 Final Cut  
Pro users, and if that sells them a few eight-core Macs along the way  
then it will pay for the development. If professionals find a way of  
using Color that is a bonus, nothing more.
