Cool new Adobe stuff to debate…

[Bret Williams]

Well, ya did arguably pay $600 bucks for them before they were even available, and without knowing if they were worth paying for. 🙂

But hey, that’s the subscription model. Hopefully they’ll keep adding good stuff and continue to be competitive. But once a few years go by and you’ve done quite a lot of work with CC, you’ll need to continue to subscribe just to open the old files. At least for a month at a time.

Sounds worse that cable. At least if I switch from DirectTV to Comcast I can still watch the same shows.

That is one horrible analogy but I’m sticking to it. 🙂

The Adobe stuff does look pretty cool. Wish I could buy it.

Short term this would interest me but long term it will get expensive at least for someone who is an independent filmmaker, let alone does this for a hobby. My two cents.

At least one thing FCPX has had since launch: pitch-shift scrubbing.

And at least one legitimately cool thing in the ability to add effects/CC to items in the browser, and have it downstream to all the clips in your timelines. I’d like to see that in X. You can currently phoney that by doing a “open in timeline” and adding effects to that, but this removes a step.

All the NLEs will trade back and forth the best of breed features.

With a large and growing subscriber base, I don’t see Adobe slowing down any time soon.

Looking forward to seeing what Apple may have to offer. No pre-NAB maintenance release yet. Maybe that means a feature release next week after the press briefings this weekend.

Not sure about the $600 in advance thing – Adobe did a fairly substantial feature update with 7.2 which would never have happened with the old model. Now with DCP ability added just kicking out one DCP will save me enough to pay for 2 years of CC.

Yep, pitch-shift scrubbing is totally worth entirely scrapping your Adobe-based workflow for FCPX.

How about Ae being able to create templates featuring text you can edit in Premiere?

This kind of two-way integration is one of my favorite features with FCPX/M5, and I’m very happy to see it starting with Ae and Pr.

Yup. Cause that’s what I said…

I was only pointing out the proverbial yin and yang. Good ideas from X make it over to Pr, and an idea from Pr Id like to see make it over to X.

I was kinda surprised they didn’t already have that. Hopefully the implementation will be smooth, but from what I could tell it didn’t look all that customizable from within Premiere.

What does this remind me of? Let me think…. Oh yeah FCP 7 & Motion.

Uh, my FCP X doesn’t change pitch when scrubbing or using JKL. How would I get it to do that? It doesn’t even change pitch in slow (K&L or J&K together) mode.
