Any word on 2.0?

[Steven L. gotz]

Adobe does not allow “industry speak” by it’s beta testers, so nobody who knows anything can say anything, and those who say, by definition, really can’t know.

Ok. Just wondering if it had shown up anywhere. They have been very quiet about PPro for sometime. SEems to be losing some steam…

What’s the thought process behind any product “losing steam”?

I love products that have long, stable release lives. For us, it means we worry less about upgrading and relearning software every 12 months. Combustion has gone about 18-24 months between releases, and I love it that way.

I don’t suffer from extended down times because of any problems out of 1.5, so I see the 2.0 release as a new feature set more than anything. And even then, I’ll have to evaluate my needs for it, because I get all my editing work done just fine, right now, in 1.5.

It certainly isn’t as though Adobe’s going away anytime soon.

When Adobe’s got something to show us, they’ll let us know. They always have…

Will like to see a “Whish List”. Depite my little experience with Premiere 1.5, I have found some limitations/drawbacks that will like to be corrected in future product releases. Is just check others editing software and implement those positiveness into new releases of Premiere

Well if batch rendering and GPU support isn’t in there I’ll scream.

I also am not pushing too hard for any new version of Premiere. I am happy enough as it is and willingly acknowledge nothing is ever perfect.

I would like the software (PremPro) and the hardware (Matrox RTX 100) to be 100% joined at the hip , solid, stable , functional before anyone does anything else. I would like them to talk more and sort the issues out first eg Matrox and Premiere have different and opposing opinions on handlig DV field order. (upper / lower).

Any new version is usually just another way to make money from premature releases that in my opinion prey on “must-have impetuous” consumerism. The result is patches , fixes, workarounds that continue up until the next bigger , better, best ever “new” version release.

Hi Aaron,

I’m glad it works for you. OTOH there are many professional editors for whom the feature set and design of PPro is a brick load short of “Pro”.

Because of the product’s emergence into the marketplace as a potential powerhouse many of us would like to see it mature very quickly. If it doesn’t have full featured project management and an overhaul of the pathetically clumsy project window by version 2 very few of those users will start to use it.

The other major re-think for the Adobe mindset is to realize that professional users can’t tolerate bug fixes every 18 months. No beta test program will catch everything. Serious bugs have to be fixed quickly.

But I haven’t a clue whether Adobe realizes all this. I’m afraid they don’t but we’ll see. Version 2 should tell the tale.

I agree David.

Adobe needs to tell us what features they are planning and what date they are aiming for release.

I’m sitting on the fence with 3 or four suites to replace and knowing that an update with some of the shortcomings fixed was going to happen in September might push me to Adobe…lack of communication might push me to FCP or something.

I can keep quite Adobe. Tell me!

I can not for the life of me understand the rational of wanting a long time in between releases. If Adobe discovers only one feature that saves me a couple of hours of work in the course of an average project, the upgrade price is justified in the first couple of days of use. I am sure that by now they are sitting on about ten of these features and I have my credit card out by my computer every day waiting/hoping for these time saving features to be loaded on my workstations, saving me time, and money.

Until then I continue to edit in Edius. Every once and a while I fire up PPro and actually think about starting a project, and then it all comes back to me… The wacko bin structure, the audio conforming… I close the program, check the Adobe site for an update, and then go back to Edius.

The more time that goes, by the more comefortable I am becoming with Edius. Perhaps, if Adobe drags their heals much longer, I’ll put my credit card away, stop checking that Adobe site, and just keep trucking with Edius.
