New Adobe Video Bundle

[David Cherniack]

Fabulous! Just what I need to deliver my shows to the broadcasters! I’m sure they’ll be thrilled to hear they have the option of having it in Flash 8.

If that’s what’s delaying the release of PPro 2 then these people (substitute whatever demeaning nomenclature first pops into your head) just don’t have a clue about the broadcast post industry. By all means let them integrate whatever kitchen sink aquisition they want, but if they hold up the new release of their core post application for months because of it, they just don’t get what’s necessary in the broadcast NLE marketplace. Their commitment to it would appear to b little more than lip service.

the only mention i see related to premiere pro 2.0 is on threads, does adobe actually mention ppro 2 anywhere?

From what got released with the new CS2 (features and such) bundle a few months back, along with what I’ve seen in online demonstrations (There’s an AE7 one floating around out there somewheres…) I don’t think Flash was the holdup. It’ll be nice to have, but I doubt I’ll use it.

I’m sure I’ll use it…maybe one or two times….

Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for added functionality, but not at the expense of fixing the design mistakes in PPro. If they’ve done that as well, I’ll have little to complain about aside from the 18 months they’ve forced us to live with those dumb design mistakes. If they haven’t addressed at the very least:

– the project window
– keystrokes assignable to every single function within the app
– the stereo audio fiasco
– proper project management – that doesn’t require multiple renders of the same thing inside and outsie a sub-timeline

then I’ll be very pissed.

There’s also a lot more streamlined functionality that can be added to timeline editing, particularly how some tools are invoked ( the mouse hovering over the yellow line should immediately invoke the pen tool, alt and ctl modifiers should temporarily invoke the other tools, rather than being forced to switch tools just with with letter keys that require more focus to find, and have to be switched back), ranges that can be manipulated, and how tracks are locked/unlocked ( or armed disamed as an alternative metaphor ) but I’m willing to wait for those.

But not another 18 *&^%ing months!

I rather have a better Premiere than more software i’m not gonna use.
If I were interested in flash, I’d buy it separately or I’d hire a Flash guy.

I already know how to use like 5 NLE and 3 compositor, I’m an EDITOR-compositor, not the Orchestra man.
I do not comprehend flash interface at all, seems a little bit unfriendly for me.
Let’s give some jobs to other people, we can’t do it all.

And I should have added an Undo list that will survive a crash!

David,

I’m just curious because I’ve seen the comment about the project window being a problem in other posts and other forums. What is it that everybody dislikes about it?

I’m new to PPro but I’ve used various other NLEs over the years and they all have their version of the project window.
