why did Apple enter the Pro Video market?
AVID was a Mac only application, but decided it was better for them if they moved to Windows PCs. At that time, 1997-98, AVID was the only significant player in the NLE space. AVID users were up in arms, not wanting to work on PCs and raging against AVID much like FCP users today are going off about FCPX.
Macromedia had this new partially developed program and needed a cash infusion badly in its anti-Adobe program development.
That is how FCP version 1 entered the world and lead us to where we are now.
I miss Macromedia.
