Next version of Adobe Production Studio coming to the Mac

[Brian Mulligan]

About having both, a lot of my clients would insist on editing with one program or another. Premiere especially.

“Today I thought we would finish this commercial on this Discreet Edit System, it’ about 250K…” “actually do you have premiere?” “…”

And how many more hours did that project take? If your clients think they can compare Premiere to an Autodesk Smoke then they are not very educated with post production.

I think this will be an awesome change. I currently work in FCP and would love to be able to make changes to media in an AE project without changing the format of the media or going through Duck. As far as the audio program, who cares give me pro tools all day long for any pro audio needs or logic for any composing needs. I do think it would be awesome to have apple and adobe programs working seamlessly. I am glad this news came, I hope that other software companies make a change as well like high end avid systems 3dstudio max and numerous others. I almost thought about running windows on my mac pro so I could run some other programs but decided that was like putting a volkswagon engine inside a Ferrari, not for me anyways. Long live apple.

Apples and oranges really. But it’s quite common even in high-end post facilies to have the option between costly “real-time” hardware and substantially less costly “desktop solutions”. If you spend 200k on a Smoke system you know you’ll need to get your rates up.

So even if a project takes more hours on a Premiere or FCP system (and depending on the type of project it doesn’t have to be the case), it could still be at lower cost.

Now if a project needs to be finished yesterday, this would influence the decision to go with one system over the other. But I’d hate to be editing a 90 minute documentary on a Smoke… Well, my wallet would hate it.
