So what is happening with NLE’s in your area
-
In Broadcast clients don’t care what I use as ling as they get the files they need.
In corporate I have almost exclusively requests for FCPX. Nobody asks for Avid over here and Premiere seems to stay a niche.I am very surprised how many agencies have switched to FCPX in the last 6 months.
-
Most of the video departments I know who were FCP7 have stayed FCP7, but I know one that has gone back to Avid. Use among freelancers I know seems pretty evenly split between Pr and FCPX.
I am not seeing the resistance to CC in the real world that I see on the Internet. Most folks think it’s a pretty good deal. I know a couple of design departments who have moved eagerly to CC (even while editorial stays FCP7).

We have some of the biggest agencies as our clients, and I am seeing exactly the same thing. They prepare their projects in FCPX and bring us the logged media with selects and even rough cuts for fine-tuning and finishing. A perfect workflow for us

Adobe keeps offering new deals at lower and lower prices. latest is $479 for a year with a guarantee of no increase for another year. I take this to mean they are facing resistance – nobody offers a deal when folks are waiting in line to buy.

Which would end up being quite a bit cheaper than the $29.99 a month for a year “deal” that I got.

No, my math is wrong. If I had to pay a second year at rack rate then I’d pay almost exactly the same as the person who took the guaranteed $479/yr for two years. Actually I’d save two bucks.

I have no idea what their targets are or how close or how far they are from hitting them. My notes here are anecdotal, not systematic, and more design-oriented than editorial-oriented. I’m just saying that on these forums, it sounds like the industry is united against CC. Among the folks I know and work with, CC is seen much more positively. Neither group alone shows the complete picture.

I don’t either. I just loaded in a bunch of betacam from 1993 recently and added color correction to the whole thing. Turning color correction on/off doesn’t change the sharpness or softness at all. This is 720×486 ProRes 422 material. Oliver says it’s the 480 flavors that are the issue though.
-
Color correction doesn’t make pictures softer in FCPX because it’s native effect in FCPX. Keyer is also native and drop shadow. All Motion Template based effects soften non-square material. So pretty much 99% of effects. Try adding for example Circle Mask or Vignette and look close.
