Continuing the trend of replying to customer e-mails, Apple head honcho Steve Jobs recently answered a query (or a complaint) about Apple’s video production suite, Final Cut Studio. The email from a Mac Soda user ‘Alex’ called Final Cut Studio 3 “not stellar” and asked for a ’sign’ if Apple still cared for the product alleging that the layoff from the Final Cut team comprised of engineers.
Rather than presenting a short, blunt one-line answer, Jobs offered three and cleared up some air. Firstly, he confirmed that Apple still cared for their video production suite, and secondly, the people laid off were in support roles, not in engineering. Lastly, he said that the next version of FCS will be “awesome”, peaking up interest of users awaiting the new release after the previous poor show.
Here is the entire email conversation that happened:
Steve,
Getting worried about Apple’s interest in Final Cut. Last updates were not stellar. I heard a bunch of engineers were dropped too – give us a sign you still care about Pro Video, not just the iPad.
Thanks,
Alex
Steve Jobs: We certainly do. Folks who left were in support, not engineering. Next release will be awesome.
