Why you’ll buy Adobe CC

So no AE Next for you? Thought you’d be looking forward to messing with C4D Lite.

I’m in the same boat, but I’m going to shell out monthly for Photoshop, and the minute Pixelmator starts reading Layer Styles and FX, I will stop. Premiere doesn’t interest me, and I’m happy with Smoke.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “So the creative cloud can get stuffed, bar premiere – thats the only one I care about as live software.”

I agree. Though for me the one tempting CS next app is AE. But really, AE CS6 will be fine for for now. I intend to avoid CC for as long as possible. Perhaps there will be other options that will appear now that a market is opening up.

Anyway, Aindreas, there’s still time to switch to FCPX… 🙂

[Aindreas Gallagher]

Mmm. I’ll live without AECS next – I’m still praying that premiere makes it through the FUBAR. I want that as my next editing system, as in the one that everyone else broadly agrees should be the general use case replacement for FCP. Some mess they’ve made here tho – the vitriol on some of the sites, hell even their twitter stream… I’m over half an editor at this stage. I actually cut a half hour golf documentary just before christmas like.
That took me by surprise.

Everything else can get stuffed. I just want to get my hands on PPro7. Bar that I’ll ride CS 6 out for a couple of years.

So Aindreas what’s it gonna cost you to just get PPro for the first year? I bet it’s the same as what you’ll pay for the whole suite. Are you seriously going to tell me you’re going to turn down every product Adobe has to offer for no additional cost? No you’re not.

[Aindreas Gallagher]

I bet it’s the same as what you’ll pay for the whole suite.

Nope. But put more simply – I’m not going to start executing and building assets in their little renters cottage. that is a hostage to fortune. They can get stuffed.

I own Production Premium CS 6. The two things I care about outside of Premiere are PS and AE.

I’m going to fork over rental cash for premiere pro. first year will cost me 100 quid. about 140 quid a year after that.

Have you actually seen the changes to PS? they introduced some stupid gimmicky magic de-blur thing that I care absolutely nothing about. PS hasn’t changed significantly in eons. 64 bit or whatever, but nine out of ten times I’m dealing with a 2000 odd pixel wide plate. It’s not taxing.

I’ll miss the crazy urge to throw 3D objects around in a AE scene, but I’ll get over it. AE CS6 is an extremely mature, powerful product.

Adobe is not getting six hundred quid a year off me for a bin bag of stupid apps that have nothing to do with my livelihood, some crazy colour picker creative community hot air PR bollocks, and yet another company offering me a digital locker the size of a good USB stick. You know the only thing better than adobe’s digital locker? A good USB stick.

I’m doing premiere rental for a year anyway and sitting on CS6. I own it. – again – adobe can take a running jump with CC. They can seriously get stuffed.

[Shane Ross] “I have a very old Photoshop version…CS I think…like CS1…on an old laptop I let the kids use. It still opens PSD docs made on current versions of PS. PPro might be different…but so far, PS is backwards compatible.”

Premiere Pro IS different. 5.5 will not open any 6 projects and so on down the line . . .

It is not backwards compatible.

Check out Video Copilot’s Element for bringing 3D elements into AE and animating them in 3D space (including Cinema 4D models). And yes you get a perpetual license for Element.
