how convenient is that statement? says exactly who kevin? you? adobe? Are film makers web designers? Are typographers becoming cinematographers?
this is getting incredibly old very fast.

Be careful of that boggy swamp….you are about to become a dinosaur fossil. Not sure what gilded castle you work in, but jack of all trades has become a career survival skill in our neck of the woods.

[Dave LaRonde] “Adobe customers are no longer small one and two-man boutique shops, with the exception of the successful ones — if you run into a tough stretch, well, tough: you lose access to project files representing your hard work.”
That is nonsense — even at 50 dollars a month (i’m getting it for half that price), access to EVERYTHING Adobe makes is not out of reach to the one or two man shops… You pay more each month for your cell phone, cable bill, heat and electric, groceries…heck even your weekly starbucks refills.
You seriously think this will put someone who’s making a living with the software that lets them literally create video magic – out of business?

Hey Aindreas,
It’s my own personal opinion, based on what I see around me in a high tech capital of the world, SF. Yes, I see tons of cross over going on right now in the huge influx of young professionals flocking to the area. I’m not sure what you’re seeing in your area.Cheers,

[Dave LaRonde] “By the way, how does the prospect of being on the hook to Adobe in perpetuity simply to access your own project files appeal to you”
About the same as it feels being on the hook to Verizon, or AT and T or my cable company each month. They are a business, they’ve created a tool and that’s the way they want to sell/rent it. If you don’t like it…vote with your feet and find something better. Astonishing the amount of time busy professionals have to whine about this.

[Dave LaRonde] “I am stunned by your apparently-enthusiastic willingness to let Adobe do a similar thing.”
I don’t like what they’re doing, but I like their products….if there’s an After Effects or Premiere Pro alternative that works as well for us – we’ll jump to it.

[Andy Field] “Getting paid and making a living with the software makes you a professional.”
*::gag::* “making a living”? As a wage slave?
Totally disagree. This “getting paid” argument is done. No, you likely aren’t getting paid, not what the work is worth, that is for absolutely sure, and “professionalism” is *doing your job and not making the rest of your collaborators’ existence a living hell* — Buddy Ebsen.
This “getting a few bucks” for knocking off the B, Ed & I porn is more than faintly ridiculous.

“This “getting a few bucks” for knocking off the B, Ed & I porn is more than faintly ridiculous.”
Spoken like a true wage slave.
Where does the volcanic anger come from in these forums — You’re a wage slave unlikely to be earning what you deserve by using Adobe software?
Actually own my own production company so I’m – in your colorful description – my own slave.
This software has paid for it’s self a thousand times over with productions ranging from broadcast networks to corporations to film. Again – if you don’t like how adobe is charging – simply walk away and use what you have or find something better.
