A negative about CC frequent updates

[Jim Wiseman]

It would seem the customer has a requirement to maintain their subscription because they are locked into a rental model with no real way out. No or little backward compatibility. That would sort of ratchet down the pressure on Adobe over time, one would think. One of the reasons this is being discussed on a FCP X forum. People are evaluating other options.

Ran into a big problem today.

In FCP > STP, you can make picture edits and then conform the audio.

That cannot be done in PP > AU. (I use CS6.)

Now, I’m having to rebuild 25 tracks of audio, because a 5 second sound bite needed to be removed.

I have googled everything. Searched the Creative Cow. Searched Adobe. Nothing.

I figured, bummer, but I can conform it using an EDL. Nope. Then I figured, I could conform it using a hand listed time code. Nope, because in Audition the file timecode is rewritten based on where it is in the sequence. Restating for clarity, Audio1 In(1:24:32:15) Out(1:24:37:13) and it is in the time line at 7:49:16. When I opened the Audio file in Audition the timecode then started at 7:49:16. Surely, I thought, there is a way to change the timecode read-out, but (and again to your excellent point), there is nothing in the manual, there is no video, there is nothing on the Cow.

So I’m rebuilding 3 days of audio work, because the Director wants 5 seconds of audio clipped from the middle.

If anyone has a better solution, I’m all ears.

this feels a greatly real representation of the adobe support scenario for the millions plus of adobe customers at play now.

It is in no way a false representation of likely support outcomes due to its high visibility.

these interactions are in no way a non-representative show. It is likely an even handed representation of likely outcomes.
