CNN is going with Adobe CC & Adobe Anywhere

Of course the massive downside of the new structure – in its current form – is that you cannot search the whole library at once for a string or keyword, you can only search one event at the time. For FCP X to be really useful a news scenairo you would need to do exactly that. that would be very powerful.

I’d be surprised if they didn’t add that ability. Though I’ve been surprised by the missing match frame replace edit for quite a while….

Probably Adobe paying CNN to adopt Anywhere ? And how does it interface with a Newsroom Automation system ?

Not a big surprise. Their options were Avid or Adobe, since Edius (which I would choose, if I was a news network) is Windows only and FCPX (my next choice as a newshouse) is Apple only. CNN has to work with both sides of the OS-giants.
Avid is not going to work for news-people who are not editors, but writers mostly. So anything else would have been a surprise. But CNN has a special business model, so their lead is not helping any creative editor in his decision.

As far back as 2009, Adobe were working with the Hearst engineering department on making ENPS work with their software:

The station I was Art Director at was the pilot program for our 28 stations across the US. At the time we had AVID systems, and all of our stations were hobbled by technical glitches and problems, resulting in huge losses of productivity. Our station (WMUR-TV) was close enough to AVID’s headquarters that we regularly got visits from the tech staff, but it didn’t help. We would regularly have one node of our Unity system go down, and it would completely lock up the rest of the system – we would lose two or three days (and files) in these lockups, and the promise that if one node went down, everything else would stay up and running, was never realized. We switched over to Adobe CS4 with one test system, and it ran circles around the AVID systems, although we did lose the ability to have multiple users working with the same files (which never really worked right anyway).
The Adobe engineers were accessible, cooperative, and worked with the Hearst engineering team to make sure everything worked. When there were problems, they jumped on it. Of course, having over 25 stations didn’t hurt.

CNN went to FCP (from Avid) around ’07 so I don’t think they are too worried about being cross platform (although that flexibility doesn’t hurt). Adobe Anywhere sounds like the ‘killer app’ that sealed the deal with Adobe.

[Zhang Junhao] “Probably Adobe paying CNN to adopt Anywhere ?”
No.
[Zhang Junhao] “And how does it interface with a Newsroom Automation system ?”
They have their own development infrastructure in many cases.
