No grey area. If you signed an NDA you are contractly obligate to say nothing even if you went to the presentation.

If adobe disclosed the information, which they did, and you revealed that and no more, they would probably be estopped from enforcing the NDA.

From Macromedia’s site…

thats mad. (and safely within quotes too..) I never over-thought about the degree to which new delivery platforms might influence post production apps. If we’re going to embedded (?) advertising/content slugs in an mp4 type thing, i guess that might seriously change the media preperation.. Id always presumed this merger wouldn’t mean much more (to me) than flash getting a decent adobe timeline. I dearly hope I dont end up having to learn flash script; javascripts’s more than freaking me out enough as it is..
-
Actionscript is pretty darn close to javascript.. they’re like cousins.
AE7 isn’t being converted to flash in any way. They were just showing ONE export option (to FLV). You still get everything AE is today PLUS the new stuff. Adobe and Macromedia won’t be co-mingling any development stuff until the merger closes.
Which means the Video Collection has been and was developed without any Macromedia influence.
-
thats true. I may have been freaking out a smidge there.. Still. Id better not see any stage-cast metaphors turning up in AE. Oh no siree. And they can keep their tweeening too..
-
yeah, what about better clone and paint tools?
At least they did something about the user interface. I hope they didn’t get inspired by the Flash interface too much! 😉

[aindreas] “While im at it; the demoes of aperture at the apple site look mightily impressive. I actually wish i was a professional photographer, just so as i could justify buying the thing. The internal organisation, looks at first glance, to blow bridge out of the water. In the sense that its not required to be generic to a number of different software packages.”
I’m hoping this is one feature that might find it’s way into iPhoto whose image editing features have been evolving as well.

breath holding might not be in order there methinks. My own personal fantasy land has apple and adobe getting skulled on beers, declaring amity, and setting about creating extraordinary software architectures. I mean, if apple is becoming an ecosystem, then surely adobe could look after a field or two within? I dunno, while that australian bloke was v.o.ing on aperture’s demo qt & I was seeing how apple had worked through the methodology without much in the way of inherited bias (barring the dock genie..& the ipod five stars), I actually found myself wishing that i could instead be seeing their thinking with direct relation to the motion design environment AE occupies. Shake, no more than flame (used flint for a few years) is not my bag. Too many editors have told me how much they like motion, and combustion feels, like flint, a bit teutonic, but; even though its a distant cousin, aperture smelt quite right. The layers of internal media management, layout & execution looked deeply coherent. I believe somebody else on another forum posited the question as to why apple did not put themselves at macromedias door, with all the inevitable consequences. I guess photoshop is the silver bullet in that respect. premiere certainly isnt. Perhaps apple feels it only gets to risk one premiere?
