FCP and Pixelmator is a second-thought side business for them, Adobe are subscription-extortion scumbags but creative products are at least their primary business.
What a lot of people tend to forget or ignore. With most programs you own you have to by it when they release a new version and most of them are anything but cheap. With my CC Subscription I get PS, PR, LrC,LR, AI,ID, most of them also on mobile and web. So is subscription rally bad?
Apple might have the power to shake up the industry, but they're just as bad as Adobe in their own way. They push overpriced, non-upgradable hardware, so when their software outpaces older machines, you're stuck buying a whole new computer. At least with Adobe, I can stick to my affordable, upgradeable PC and not feel trapped in a forced upgrade cycle.
@@polystormstudio great point. Can’t forget about how they change up connection ports all the time so we have to buy new accessories. I will say tho, with the new M1-M4 chips, upgrading is not needed as often.
By the way, speaking of final cut 11 and pixelmator, ENTER DAVINCI RESOLVE
@@azymight I’m with that!
pixelmator is pretty optimize on macos, unlike photoshop/illustrator where they use memory a lot same with lightroom
@@strife_97 meaning pixelmator runs smoother?

@@secretgoldfish apple is so powerful that their side business can destroy an entire company

@@ArminSteiner fair point. I think it really depends on your own personal needs. I personally only use premiere, media encoder and Lightroom
