And Desktop Adobe Rush overview from the “Premiere” FCPX site ;)

[Dennis Radeke] “You sound strident and a bit lost when you say things like this.

Not strident AT ALL.

In fact, I’ve been trying to Praise Adobe’s direction in other boards as I see this as the first major step in Adobe’s adding to their movie/tv show paradigm of the past with pivoting more toward modern web based content creation tools.

To the extent it quotes ideas in X so what? Presumably those will help real editors edit more efficiently and that’s a net benefit.

I think this serves their customers VERY WELL.

And Adobe should be praised for looking forward in this.

Sadly, what I’ve mostly seen on the “professional” editing boards are Premiere Pro editors doing EXACTLY what FCP Legacy editors did when FCP X was released. Bitching that it’s “not what we wanted!!!) and “so this is why Legacy hasn’t been updated fast enough!) and similar things that miss the larger point.

Adobe is investing time and resources coding solutions for where things are going, not just for where they used to be.

Good for them.

See my above post.

It was NOT intended to come across as more than gentle ribbing.

As I’ve written extensively elsewhere I think this is an excellent move on Adobe’s part that will serve their future editors well.

Establishing a new approach that jettisons some of the past thinking and sets up an approach more aligned with the FUTURE is precisely what Apple did 7 years ago with X.

Good for Adobe doing the same thing.

I know there are LOTS of editors worried that trying to run on two tracks – maintaining PPro fir the legacy editors while developing the new program simultaneously will impede one or the other – but my opinion has ALWAYS been that the future holds more promise than the past.

And good for Adobe for making the commitment to do more than just continuing to follow the same old traditional tracks (pun intended)

Seriously. Bravo Adobe. I Welcome your turning more attention toward the future.

I just had a bad day and took your post the wrong way. I sincerely apologize to Bill and everyone. Perhaps it is time for me to take a break from the COW to refresh.

[Bill Davis]

We all sometimes get testy and over-react.

Consider it forgotten.

Take care.

[Scott Witthaus] “But Bill is oh-so-correct. So now Adobe-fan-folk are saying the YouTube and skateboard video crowd ARE important? Isn’t that what people laughed off in the “iMovie Pro” days. Now, lets wait for the justifications…”it’s not the same because…”

And what he says is also correct that iMovie/FCPX has had this for a while? Groundbreaking from Adobe? You decide.
“

No one is saying he isnt corrct – just super childlike in his immediate reaction to try and call out Adobe for trying to mingle in that market. Thats all.

Also calling out a feature like backward compatibility or forward capatibility or whatever you call this. Any app new app is going to have this.

So again, no one saying his statements arent somewhat correct – just the message behind them – is getting super old. My 2 cents.

[Neil Goodman] “No one is saying he isnt corrct – just super childlike in his immediate reaction to try and call out Adobe for trying to mingle in that market. Thats all. “

At my age, being called “childlike” is a super compliment!

So thank you.

Sincerely.

(Oh, and I was actually PRAISING Adobe for some forward looking thinking in Rush.)

That’s exactly what has been missing IMO, in the past few years – as they pretty much have focused on being FCP Legacy Version 8.

Still funny, though:-)

Yes, but Adobe manged to do this without killing off Premiere.

So I guess it’s possible.

How un-apple.

[Bill Davis] “So open iMovie files in FCP X brought forward 2 years or so?

Welcome aboard, Adobe!”

Adobe Premiere Clip (2014) did this before iMovie and Avid Studio (or was it called Pinnacle Studio?) did this years before either of them.

EDIT:
Adobe may have a first here, when Rush is released for Android in 2019 I think it will be the first NLE that will cross-compatible on Windows, Mac, iOs and Android. iMovie/X is obviously Mac only, and Avid/Pinnacle Studio was on iOS and Android but projects could only be shared to PCs, not Macs. Also, Rush projects will seamlessly/update transfer between all four platforms (assuming your media is stored in the Cloud) where as the other programs are designed for more of a one way, one time hand off.

[Neil Goodman]

what Im finding funny is that for the last 7 years, users of X have been aggressively trying to get the general public to look at it as more than a beginners and youtube program.

Now their comparing it to an app clearly aimed at beginners and saying, look they copied us. Cant win. ????
