Any rumors about 6.0?

[Angelo Lorenzo]

Speedgrade will probably be included immediately as a stand-alone application. Adobe also demoed something called Prelude which looks like it’s the Lightroom of video (basic adjustments, metadata logging, etc… onLocation killer?)

Those are my only two solid guesses unless they include some of the really early tech demos like Rubba Dub (auto matching ADR audio).

Rather than wasting time on rumors, you could wait until NAB.

Just a thought.

Woah, Todd. Your users *like* the product. They like to talk about it. We like to talk about what the program we sit in front of for 8 hours a day might look like in 6 months. Sort of like I like to think about what “The Dark Knight Rises” will be like or my vacation this summer might have in store. This is valuable buzz for you guys. Don’t be such a killjoy, man.

You just gave me a totally bad taste for the Adobe brand, dude. The big middle finger. Now I know how much you guys appreciate us.

Todd is just being Todd: straight up gangsta.

Way to alienate customers Todd. Speak in haste repent at leisure!

Sorry. I didn’t mean to come off that way. I just see a lot of people spinning into misinformation when talking about rumors.

**I heard** that PPro 6.0 is going to have auto-focus correction detection…. so when any out-of-focus or soft-focus shots are being ingested, the system recomputes the bokeh and collimates the vectors so that any uncorrected pixel shift is redirected into an aligned state, thus producing perfect focus and framing.

Or, as Todd suggests, wait for NAB. 😀

“You just gave me a totally bad taste for the Adobe brand, dude. The big middle finger. Now I know how much you guys appreciate us.”

Come on, can we give Todd a break here? I don’t think “wait till NAB” is exactly over the line… but giving Adobe the middle finger because something ‘could’ be construed as slightly snarky… not exactly brimming with class IMO.

Personally, I love the fact that real Adobe employees take the time to answer questions on forums that doesn’t belong to Adobe… not exactly industry practice, but very appreciated… or at least it should be.

I’ve heard that there are going to new features and bug fixes. Anything more you need to know?

Give Todd a break! He’s not the CEO of Adobe, and part of his job is most likely working under a non-disclosure agreement. Take a look at the Final Cut Pro: The Debate forum to see what it would be like here if, due to lack of input from a certain software company, insult and innuendo started flying. I’d rather get a polite “can’t talk about it right now” straight from the horse’s mouth than months of guessing and finger pointing, with total silence from the software company.

That said, I’d love to know what’s coming, but alienating the messenger sure ain’t going to help get anything sooner – it just shows a coarsness and lack of class better left in the political arena.
