Premiere Pro CC it is then?

So much for ‘Adobe listens’.

[Oliver Peters]

So are you saying that according to Adobe Max announcements, that the ONLY way to purchase the next version is via a Creative Cloud subscription? I.e., no more perpetual licenses?

Looks like it is, some tech sites have announced it as well.

There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum

Wow. And I thought Apple made the mother of all marketing blunders. Good job Adobe, you win the prize. Any bets on how long before the backlash forces them to walk this back?

Well, then.

This is definitely the “other shoe” I’ve been waiting for that would explain the big mystery about the name. CS Next indeed.

I cannot wait to hear the response from Ireland.

Best,

I’m not completely sure this extends to all products. The video apps all seem to be wrapped into the Creative Cloud package and not available elsewhere. OTOH, there does appear to be some upgrade path for Photoshop and/or Lightroom individually. At the moment, the Adobe web site is a bit confusing. In any case, if you want to “own” Adobe software, now is the time to “lock in” on CS6.

I guess the shoe is on the other foot. Adobe has handed Apple a great opportunity. Not just for FCP X, but also Aperture and Logic. Hope they react in a useful fashion.

Ironically Avid is looking pretty darned good right know!
