    The suggestion to post your concerns directly to Adobe was also mentioned by an Adobe employee over on the PPro forum.

    There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum

    [David Lawrence] “Please Adobe, don’t blow it. We want to give you our money. Please give us a choice.”

    exactly – I want to give them money every year for a really really long time and go out and eulogise the living hell out of premiere, so its mostly all I ever have to edit on.

    I just don’t think I’m ready to go hire purchase. Lots of people have made really good points about this – and in truth I’m occasionally swayed.

    Lead me with carrots and who knows where I’ll end up. It’s just the notion of a perpetual license shut off and what that would imply in terms of long term motivation at the board level that would freak me completely out.

    As you say – adobe have effectively worked miracles over these two releases – particularly in premiere – AE is completely hulked out as well.

    carrots. thats all it will take – carrots and a few product cycles. better to lead a child with sugar and all that.
    Try the other way and the baby’s head is liable to turn three sixty revolutions and start spitting out rabies froth.

    yep – althoouuugh – that is the go/wish feature request thing.

    It would feel almost weird to be like – hey! my wish is you don’t ask to start a direct debit with me.

    I just had a discussion with a client of mine who has been on FCP since it started. He was discussing it with Adobe on the phone yesterday, and came away from it not quite ready to make the jump. He sees the benefits of the software (PPro and AE), but he’s not yet sure whether the payment structure will benefit him in the long run. So he’s going to wait until the dust settles…in my opinion, a good idea…

    [Steve Connor] Which is why it’s relevant for users to express their opinions about this possibility, Adobe clearly listens so if they are considering this then a groundswell of opinion might actually stop it happening.

    Yeah, companies might very well change their mind on a big decision if they know it’s not very popular with the end users. Like that time Avid decided they were going to leave the Mac platform and go Windows-only. I don’t remember it first hand but from what I hear it caused quite a stir- and Avid ended up “backpedaling all the way to Tewksbury”, as one account I saw of the situation put it…

    [Richard Cardonna] “The door adobe puts in your computer to enter it everymonth is a door that will can be hacked by some gifted hacker and many things can come in or out of your system.”

    My primary editing system has been on the Internet for years.

    Never been hacked.

    Well, of course, I never thought of it in that context. Everybody owns everything! Thanks for clarifying this. If someone would let the lawyers in on this we might have a perfect world. (Tongue held very tightly in cheek.)

    Indeed. From my perspective Adobe has thirty days. If they can prove their worth to me in those thirty days then I’ll stay with them. If not…

    [Richard Cardonna] “You are testing cs6, cs7 is a different animal if it where to be available.”

    Fcpx is a different animal from fcp 7. Pr CS6 and Pr CS Next appear to be very very closely related. CS Next appears to be higher functioning than its CS6 roots.

    What you learn in cs6, I’m sure, won’t go to waste.
