AE cs3 and leopard – what concrete problem?

[Brendan Coots]

This is all well and good, and I agree with you. Just remember that many of our comments in this thread were born from the somewhat overblown sticky thread here that says:
“please be aware that the new Apple OS 10.5, Leopard, does NOT work with most of the pro applications in CS3.”
This is a FAR cry from “some specific workflows that you’ll never encounter may have mild compatibility issues” wouldn’t you say? Granted, everyone should go to Adobe’s site and read up before jumping all over them when things come up, but when it’s a sticky on the Cow many people take it seriously and will assume whoever wrote that did the research or it would have never elevated to “Sticky” status.

At least that’s my excuse!

We erred on the side of caution, which isn’t the worst thing I think. As you say, looking before leaping is good advice.

But you’re right about overstating. I put in a word with the Droid, and the post has already been updated along the lines we’re talking about.

I say THAT in my capacity as a Cow feller. 🙂 Thanks for reminding us to keep it real.

Hi Brendan,

At the time that that was posted, that was all that anyone knew and Adobe was stating that it didn’t work.

As most of our members here make their living with these tools, we ALWAYS tend to side with caution and feel that advising our members to look before they leap and know the facts is a good thing. We have seen far too many people upgrade in the middle of jobs, and other such things that have bitten them, to feel comfortable in not at least trying to follow the safer route.

But as you say, new information requires new comments and updates and so we will act accordingly.

Best always,

Ron Lindeboom

Ron,

I think you guys did the right thing by erring on the side of caution, for sure. I was just pointing out that my post showing frustration with Adobe was prompted by it and was therefore a bit misguided.

Anyway, the good news is CS3 seems to work fine with Leopard, at least on my Macbook. I have been reading reports that FCP Studio is fine as well, except for a few very minor hiccups.
