I joined the VFX grind after this so I had no idea that Nuke was not always the industry standard (obviously not counting the early days)

Apple loves marketing stuff as "pro" when its really just high end consumer.




A lot of Apple's stuff is pro-level. Especially now, the line between "pro" and "prosumer" is very blurred. A professional can produce professional results with any high-end tool.

The question is about efficiency and the ecosystem surrounding a tool, especially how well it can integrate into a studio's larger workflows.


This is exactly why I think Apples stuff is NOT pro level - the end user items are high quality but the ecosystem surrounding their tools is not. Managing a fleet of MacOS laptops doesn't have a direct product from Apple to do so in an enterprise environment and they do not have back end server versions of their "pro" software to integrate with.
