    Hi All,

    It’s been hard to keep secret but we can finally announce that Tim Wilson has officially joined Creative Cow. Yes, you read that right: Tim Wilson is now a part of Creative Cow. Tim’s new duties here include Associate Publisher of Creative COW Magazine and Associate Director of the CreativeCow.net website.

    Before joining the Creative Cow team, Tim spent the last three years at Avid Technology, where he has served as Senior Product Marketing Manager. His responsibilities there included Avid Xpress Pro, Avid Xpress Studio, and Avid Media Composer, among others. Before Avid, Tim worked as the Director of Marketing for Boris FX and was the product manager for their flagship package, Boris Red. Many longtimers here may remember that before Boris, and long before Avid, Tim Wilson worked with us for a number of years as a strong part of our team. We are delighted to again be working with Tim Wilson and we know that with his vision and enthusiasm, there are many great things to come out of his involvement in the Cow.

    Tim will slowly phase into his duties over the month of September, taking a well-earned break before jumping into his new duties at Creative Cow. Please join us in welcoming Tim Wilson to the Creative Cow Team.

    If you wish to welcome Tim, please post in the COWmunications forum at:

    Why, I remember little Timmy Wilson when we was doing chamber of commerce puff pieces on his Media 100 in his garage.

    Now, look, he’s all growed up.

    Wow, thanks for the great welcome.

    One of the things I’m going to love about this gig is that I can talk about ANYTHING that interests me, regardless of who makes it. Final Cut definitely falls into that category.

    David Bogie will recall the stir that Keygrip, later called Final Cut, when we heard that Media 100 was bidding for it…in order to make it the front end for a Windows-based system.

    (Anyone know if it was for iFinish or 844/x? I never knew.)

    In fact, I’ll be posting soon a picture of my Windows CD for Macromedia Final Cut. 🙂

    Many on this list know of my longtime involvement in FCP user groups too..I met Marco at one, in fact, and met Jerry face to face at another (truly memorable experiences both).

    I’m truly honored to be counted among such giants as you chaps, and will be looking forward to lots of fun in this forum and others.

    Best,
    Tim

    Am I late to the party AGAIN! Geez, if Marco wouldn’t hog all the hot water maybe I’d make it down here on time!

    My belated Congratulations and a hearty MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to Tim for hanging his udders in our fine pastures. Truly a great addition to the Cow Leadership team and we’re very honored to have you along for the ride.

    Way to go Boomer!

    I’m a boy, and thus have no udders.

    But I’m fine with all you boys who do. Some of my best friends are transgendered.

    [Tim Wilson] “Anyone know if it was for iFinish or 844/x? I never knew.”

    It was for the system that ended up being called Finish, although the board used was to underlay KeyGrip (not iFinish). KeyGrip took too long to finish and it’s one of the reasons that Media 100 took a slap at the KeyGrip team with the name, Finish. Humor, you gotta love it. Media 100 went with Plan B — in this case, B stood for bad and Finish never really caught on much.

    If you remember, at that time I used to guest on technology TV shows, etc., on behalf of Media 100 and John Molinari (CEO of M100) brought me and Kathlyn to the Macromedia roll-out party in Sept of 1996. There, we met Bud Colligan (founder of MacroMind, which had just become Macromedia about that time), Peter Hoddie, (the mind behind Quicktime) and others who were at the unveiling party which was held as a part of Macromedia World Developers Conference.

    The big news of the party and on-screen at the conference was that the Mac was in serious trouble and most of the companies there were making their first showings of their up-to-then Mac-only products running on Windows. Oddly, KeyGrip was Quicktime based and in the meeting, they talked about the reasons for this and the advantages of this. Even Pinnacle’s ace engineer Loren (can’t remember his last name at the moment) got up and talked about their Quicktime-based (what would end up being the) TargaCine board that would come and would also use KeyGrip as its front-end. It did come and was called Cin
