That may have been true for the first couple of months after FCPX was =

I guess it depends upon who's stats you want to believe. Just because =
Premiere Pro is installed with Production Premium or CC does not mean =
that every video editing pro is using it, and even if more copies of =
FCPX have been sold then FCP 7 that does not mean that every video pro =

to be literate in a couple of different editing apps for the foreseeable =
future. ...here in Seattle its a complete toss up.

I have Premiere CS6 of course but use FCPX almost exclusively for my =
corporate and broadcast work (with some FCP7). Though only a handful of =
my producer/director clients have begun to request that I use FCPX, and =
most don't care. I do expect to get requests for Premiere at some point =
and plan to learn it better when I have some free time.
