[Andy Field] “Before the FCPX cheer-leading squad moves in for the kill”

Has the FCPX “cheer-leading squad” been “moving in for the kill” on any PPro threads on here? Not sure they have, most of us who use and like FCPX also realise how good PPro 6 is, so I don’t think you’re in any danger 🙂

[Andrew Richards] “There are Sarbanes-Oxley rules about how public companies are allowed to account for and deliver significant feature updates to existing products”

This is true and is one advantage of a Creative Cloud subscription, it allows Adobe to legally provide new features since you’re paying month by month. Sarbanes does not prevent certain improvements like improved performance (OpenCL, CUDA) and format support (RED, etc.)

[Andy Field] “Integration between PPPro and After Effects is terrific – just like the Motion to Final Cut Pro 7 integration worked way back when”

Hey Andy – nice to see you on the forum here.

For clarification’s sake, Apple’s integration was in response to ours which started in CS2 (2005) and was expanded upon in subsequent versions.

Hi Dennis,

Yes – have been using that dynamic linking for years between Photoshop and After Effects — mentioned it for the FCP7-only crowd that might not realize this advantage.

By the way — Dennis and his support team are an invaluable “feature” of the entire Adobe Creative Suite.

Unlike Apple’s virtual non support/response for anything FCP 7 – Dennis and others at Adobe not only return emails and calls — they’re actually on these forums answering questions and listening to feature requests.

This simply didn’t exist with FCP7 (unless you were Walter Murch) — and Apple’s silence on FCPX (until the critical firestorm seemed to have changed things) was enough to make a 10 year FCP veteran look for a new editing partner.

If you’re a FCP7 editor, PP CS6 will feel familiar…and adds features that make editing a breeze.

“Integration between PPPro and After Effects is terrific – just like the Motion to Final Cut Pro 7 integration worked way back when – you make a change over there – it shows up here”

Is this an accurate description of dynamic link? I’m not sure why but I always found FCP7’s integration with Motion to be slightly unnerving and… unsatisfying. Perhaps that’s just my own psychological problem, or maybe I had (now forgotten) problems in the past. On recent projects I’ve rendered stuff out of Motion and imported it.

Given that people have been raving about dynamic link, I assumed it was a different (and better) beast. Is it?

[Andy Field]

Never had problems with the linking with Motion and FCP – but this works as seemlessly as when you used Photoshop as your external editor in FCP7…went in and changed the photo in Photoshop and it updated in FCP7 — yes it works great haven’t had a single linking problem
