Video Editor Market Share Numbers, 2014

I love discussing market share numbers for professional tools1, so I was happy to find this breakdown on video editor market share by Dave Dugdale from 20142. Dave polled his audience and received “over 1000” responses:

  1. 63% Adobe Premiere Pro
  2. 20% Final Cut Pro
  3. 14% Sony Vegas Pro
  4. 3% Avid Media Composer

  1. Before becoming a programmer, I worked as a designer for many years. One of the reasons I care so much about pro apps is that, as a designer, so much of what I learned was just how to use Photoshop effectively. Since these apps are so large and complex, they require a huge investment from the user, and therefore software publishers have a responsibility to manage them appropriately. ↩︎

  2. This poll was conducted in 2014, so that’s after the contentious release of Final Cut Pro X. ↩︎
