    What, you mean like After Effects? Yes, I think people would have noticed…

    [Charlie Austin] “lol. Avid hasn’t killed anything in 20 years, some might say *that* is the problem. 😉 Actually, they killed AudioVision which I loved. The move to PT kinda sucked. “

    Yes, AudioVision was great – I hated the move to PT at first as it felt like a big step backwards at the time.

    But for the record, they killed off an equally great app a lot more recently when they canned DS.

    Well, there you go. All video app vendors hate us, kill everything we like, and are evil. So I guess w’re stuck with tape to tape. Except they keep discontinuing the tape machines. The only solution is clear tape and razor blades. But there’s no more film and they’ll probably outlaw the blades soon because they’re dangerous.

    Editing is a dying craft. :-p

    Avid EOLed DS recently, but they killed it a long time ago.

    I think Charlie is referring to Premiere Pro’s popularity around 5 years ago, to which I would mostly agree. CS5 was the beginning of the change to where Adobe is today.

    I’ll give it a go since Robin passed.

    Soundbooth was created because Adobe thought users wanted more tasked based audio solutions. Soundbooth went away because users told us conclusively that they wanted Audition.
    OnLocation went away because the industry overwhelmingly went to file-based cameras instead of tape based… Anyone really using a firewire camera much anymore? We created Adobe Prelude to fill that void and I couldn’t be happier.
    Ultrastudio became the Ultra Keyer effect in Premiere Pro. If you do chroma work and want a good real-time key, give it a go!

    All of the above were also 32-bit applications and not 64-bit native.

    Encore is still available.

    I think that’s it unless someone can tell me if I forgot any. All in all, I’m okay with that list, what about you?

    I’d second that – the Ultra Keyer is outstandingly good, in a field littered with keyers many of which are … not so good.

    I’m fine with that list. Particularly with Audition and Ultra Keyer.
