interesting news on the apple – adobe corporate front

[Charlie Austin]

[Oliver Peters] “And in case anyone hasn’t figured it out yet, there Apple and ProApps folks who came over from Adobe as well as people on the Adobe side who came from Apple. There are also former Avid folks at Apple and Autodesk. And so the world go around.”

Yep… the Sr. product manager for FCP X previously worked with/at Avid and Media 100. I guess that explains the default ripple mode in X. 😉

Keeping in line with the demeanor of this forum, when Apple employees go elsewhere they’re spewing their evil spawn to ensure those companies continue to develop and improve Mac compatibility. On the other hand when others come to Apple they are indoctrinated with the Kool Aid.

I say this in jest of course 8>

Of course we know it’s just that Randy Ubillos wanted a second opinion on some things. 😉

No, Tim. What will we do? What will we do?

SCRI has some information as well on this.

Lynch came to Adobe in 2005 as part of the acquisition of Macromedia. He was responsible for overseeing technology related to cloud, social computing and multi-screen efforts. Lynch had been actively involved in Adobe’s cloud-based productivity Creative Cloud software, another example of the where Lynch could use his knowledge and expertise gained at Adobe to help Apple in its own plans for cloud computing.

Adobe has also said they’re going to be CTO less from now on.

[Carsten Orlt] “no idea what it might mean but it is interesting :

He prefers FCPX over Premiere?

[David Lawrence]

[Craig Seeman] “Yes instead of buying the company or intellectual property, they just hire the brains.
I know the CTO isn’t hiring the development teams but it is interesting.”

Gruber’s take on the brains they just hired is worth noting:

Way wrong about Flash, but maybe he was just batting for the home team.

He was in Macromedia when they developed Final Cut.
He might be able to put together the best of FCPX and FCP Classic.

[James Culbertson] “He prefers FCPX over Premiere?”

I very much doubt he uses either, and the job switch probably deals with neither.

[Oliver Peters]

The complaints that he defended Flash are pretty irrelevant. What this does do, according to the reports, is give Apple someone who can bridge the internal bulkheads between hardware and software units. As such this could certainly benefit the ProApps engineers and FCP X going forward. It helps to know where your own hardware is headed. 😉
