Automatic Duck going to Adobe

[Erik Mickelson] “Two cents:
Possibility of using Duck features to get Premiere timelines into newly purchased Iridias for color correction?”That’s a very good guess Erik. I’d put my money on that. It sounds a whole lot more plausible than most of the other conjecture I read here daily.

I love AutoDuck’s products but this leaves me with more questions.
What exactly does joining the “Adobe Product Marketing Team” mean exactly?
Did the IRIDAS folks join the product marketing team? That announcement seemed like they were “acquired”.
-
Co-opting Automatic Duck just to integrate Iridias into an Adobe workflow seems too limited. Surely Adobe sees the opportunity to work on FCPX’s XML as well.
For Adobe to woo a post facility like mine, being able to seamlessly integrate FCP7, FCPX, da Vinci, Iridias and possibly AVID into an application that supports tape based outputs and other broadcast items missing from the current FCP X app is surely the bigger picture.
-
I guess. Or it’s just a spoiler move? Doesn’t apple look a bit stupid with duck splashed on their FCPX page now? Given the state of things one could imagine adobe succumbing to kicking apple in the shins.

Given Apple and Adobe’s recent history, coupled with the fact that it’s really still too early to tell whether FCPX will be widely adopted makes Adobe’s “wait and see” approach very understandable. Perhaps Adobe wonders just what sort of “opportunity” FCPX really represents? At this point, of course. Things can change quickly, but I would think that Adobe has the means to change fast as well. Especially now that they’ve been given such a boost in sales from Apple.

David, my point was to say, while we don’t know what all this means, we do know that there will be some support of their existing products, not just stuff for Adobe. The question would there be future development such as FCP X to PP that is definitely up in the air. But I think even if AD is totally Premiere I think you would still see PP from a lot of things and a lot of things to PP. The interesting thing for PP users is will we get this stuff built in (free) while say FCP X to Avid is for pay.
But the letter has to be the most cryptic one I have read in a long time, marketing team? working with?

I do think there’s some concern that the site is down and, therefore, they’ve stopped sales of their current products.
It may mean simply creating new EULA for their software or re-negotiating certain licensed technology. They haven’t given a clear message and some have noted very different language coming from Adobe and Duck regarding what the relationship is.

OK, so if it’s goodbye to AD and no OMF, and if Apple truly wants to ‘think outside the box,’ my totally insane scenario goes like this:
OMF is an old concept and isn’t exactly easy to go back-and-forth between an NLE and Pro Tools. Today I was thinking that in the near future post-sound people might not need to work in Pro Tools. I’m excited about today’s release of Propellerhead Reason 6, which finally has an audio function by incorporating its two-year-old product Record.
Many scores are made with MIDI. If FCPX and Reason got together and developed a futuristic parameter to sync the two apps, we’d get video sound, audio recording, and MIDI in one rig with time-stretching, pitch-shifting, and all that other good stuff. Maybe it can be down with Rewire. I’d like to see this crazy collaboration.

Fairlight already has all that functionality. But the best way to go from FCP 7 into Fairlight is still OMF. The beauty of OMF is that it is everywhere but legacy so no-one is mucking with the code anymore. That makes it universal AND robust.
A very silly idea is to make a new interchange format that is only between two apps.

FWIW As far as a low cost solution goes the AATranslator team are currently working on adding FCPXML support. At $59 thats probably as low cost as it’s going to get.
