Here is an indirect one involving the Decklink Cards.

I was hoping that they would announce the release of 2.0, but as of 9 AM EDT, there’s no announcement from Adobe or on the IBC exhibitor press release site.
I have 4 systems ready to upgrade. I just wonder how much longer it will take to work out the bugs.
This is really starting to hurt Adobe in the marketplace. While I’m sure that 1.5 is selling, you have major defections to final cut pro and people sticking with AVID even though PP has a great architecture.
The longer it takes Adobe to get it right, the more market share they will lose to FCP and AVID because once you start using a software tool, you are reticent about giving it up to learn another— especially one that’s immature like 1.5 –in major need of basic feature and performance improvement.
Hey you guys from Adobe that monitor this site. Get it right soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please?????
(I did say please)
Respectfully:)

Oh man, it’s about time! Blackmagic has been promising those uncompressed fx and transitions for ages. I might just upgrade my basic Decklink card to and Extreme now. Thanks for the news Gary.

I don’t get it! Why are they waiting sp long to release the new version! I understand they have a 18 months cycle, but in today’s language that’s forever!

Yup I have waited long enough to move our company into the HD era and I was really hoping Adobe would come to the party with Ppro2. Sure 1.5 is capable but its sluggish and buggy and soooo not a pro solution (unless you have a spare $30k for Axio).
Adobe you have lost my business as we will now be going either FCP or Avid (possably even Canopus as those NX systems are amazing).
I think Adobe is getting way too cocky and big for its boots. To busy gobbling up other companies than concentrating on what matters most.

At IBC, BBC Siemens announced that they are committed to FCP and AVID for the long term. Adobe is behind the curve, and Adobe will be going it alone it this space very quickly. In an IT world that is a big mistake.
Adobe may believe that it can leverage it’s photoshop-after effects-products to force the industry to accept it’s standards. That is a risky game in an MXF AAF XML world.

Interesting – I have owned and operated a small video production studio for the last 25 years. Have used every single version of Premiere since it’s inception. Also own and use Avid, Sony Vegas, Ulead Media Studo Pro and Pinnacle Liquid. So far, P. Pro 1.5.1 has been a huge improvement over earlier versions, and for us on 6 different workstations, it has been a solid performer, devoid of so many of the earlier problems, especially crashes. My staff have recently been comparing the lastest versions of all of these NLE apps., and we have decided to stick with P. Pro until something better comes along. We are very careful about keeping our host systems ‘healthy’, updated, and loaded with lots of ram and fast mboard/processor. Sure, a new 2.0 version would be great but we don’t expect it out until the next NAB.

Lyn Norstad on the discreet editors forum suggests from past experience that November 05 (end of fiscal year for Adobe) is a likely announcement date.

I hope it is earlier than that. I’m installing a 4 seat SAN in the next 10 days, so the sooner the better. Anything that improves sharing files among them as well as anything that makes digital asset management easier with low rez proxies would be of great benefit.
I don’t expect Adobe to come out with the asset management part of the equation. This would be a great supplemental plug- in application.
