    [Tim Wilson] “All of which I discussed in my first reply. I’m trying not to go through the thread and reply to each point individually, but I do hope you’ll check it out. :-)”

    As posted elsewhere – I accept the explanations you took the time to post wholeheartedly, Tim.

    You can’t work in this industry and not understand that sometimes, “sh** happens” is the most viable and most accurate explanation.

    Back to work for me.

    This was the guy. Maybe a nice guy, but his presentation was awful. More about himself than the product. When he started doing this chant there were some Adobe fan-boys-girls doing it, but most around me were looking at each other like “what the hell”…

    That video is just plain bizarre. OK, I will stay away from the Creative Cloud for a little longer.

    He kinda reminds me of Bill Davis, but with lots more hair.

    I read through a lot of posts on Apple’s recent release of FCPX and the new laptops. Most of the negativity seems focused on the weak points of the new lap tops. Sounds like the choices Apple made don’t enhance their use for “professional” or heavy duty editing. The lack of useful ports, the dongles, the limit of 16 GB memory, short battery life all seem to work against editors. Portable and requiring a lot of dongles just seems the wrong approach. I hear you can still special order the 2016 mbp.

    For me, I am hoping they make a new iMac that can do the job on a desk top.

    [David Roth Weiss] “He kinda reminds me of Bill Davis, but with lots more hair.”

    Naw, we’re different.

    He’s the guy pitching something he presumably has ACTUAL real life experience with – albeit perhaps a bit over-forcefully. ; )

    I’m the guy watching dozens of other guys trying super hard to sour everyone on a new laptop system – that none of them have actually ever seen, or touched, much less actually cut work on.

    I know ONE editor outside Apple who has actual cutting time on the new MacBook Pro with TouchBar. Report: He’s enjoying the experience.

    In another week or two, they start reaching actual users and we’ll get some verifiable idea of how they actually work in real editing operations – and all this will move from speculation to reality-based reports.

    THAT might actually be informative.

    My 2 cents.
