We regularly share rankings of the best applications in various categories. Whether it’s about being more productive when working remotely, teaching kids to code, or even the best video editing apps. Compared to the latter, there is one that appeared in our ranking and is particularly appreciated by iPhone professionals: This is FiLMiC.
But against all odds, it appears the parent company is Bending Spoons made the decision to lay off the entire team Responsible for the application. Neither the founder nor the CEO were spared, as reported by PetaPixel in a report published on December 1st. Bending Spoons has not confirmed the information since then, but it is now ready.
The promises were not kept.
For those who don’t know what Bending Spoons is, it is an app developer based in Italy. The company was founded in 2013 and its most famous apps are Remini and Splice. The first allows you to edit photos, the second allows you to edit videos. Nine years after its founding in September 2022 more precisely, bending spoons decided to buy One of the best video editing apps on the market: FiLMiC.
At the time, the FiLMiC teams were full of hopes after this partnership: “Bending Spoons’ support will help us advance our growth plans, accelerate our development cycles and ultimately create an even stronger and more valuable FiLMiC experience for our customers in the ongoing growing creator community. »
One day later it’s a disaster…
Unfortunately, a year later there was a total decline, The whole team is fired. It almost looks like a plot to sabotage FiLMiC. But let’s be in good faith and take into account what the Bending Spoons spokesperson tells us: “I can confirm that a layoff in November resulted in the departure of all 22 members of the original Filmic team,” it said in an email the company.
“The Filmic product is now fully integrated into the Bending Spoons platform. Product development continues with a dedicated team at Bending Spoons focused on this. Because the new team has worked with the original team since the acquisition, they have the knowledge to ensure a seamless user experience. »
Why didn’t we keep the original team? We hope to learn a little more about this case in the future.
