Yeah – doesn’t premiere look basically fine? I never would have bothered with it – people over the last year have started to say its ok, and I’ve always poo-pooed them, but now, well thank God it’s in pretty good shape. Otherwise it’d be Avid and I’m not sure I could stomach that.

[Chris Kenny] “The only big ‘optional’ change, really, was the decision to try to improve on traditional muli-track editing and bin-based clip organization. “

Improved. mmm. FCP is trackless baby – they improved on multi-track editing by making it trackless.

no more – I’m going to get an ulcer or something.

oh god alright then. And besides, they’re not all bogus, and our intention in signing it isn’t bogus, and really even if the whole thing is bogus and it still whips up a decent bit of press coverage – sufficient to make things a little more uncomfortable for apple, than it still has validity as an exercise for me.

nice one, that answers a few – I did notice that on their specs page they say PPRO will fly with only either 10.5.8 or 10.6.3 – that seemed quite specific so I was wondering how OSX was treating it. i’ve got a mate who can assemble good PC rigs, and really, if I’m not FCP anymore, and God knows Jeffrey Harrell has me convinced there – the blog posts are great, and you just sort of know the scale of the problem from his descriptions, oops nearly went into a rant there –
But if I’m not FCP anymore then that removes my absolute need for OSX, and I’m not sure I trust that operating system at this point either. What if Open CL starts to grow weeds? what if they become more focused on hiding the file system from casual users and forget all about grand central – you know?

I’ve still got the 2008 MBP lappie with FCP7 – so that’s fine, rock solid, nice RAM upgrade in her – that just sits there ready to go until FCP fades away – but I actually really do think it makes more sense at this point to go PC at this point. And I can’t believe I’m typing that. I can get a RAM maxed rig for half the price of a mac tower. And windows 7 is pretty much fine right? man this is crazy, i can’t believe apple tipped the table over like this.

Yeah, the timeline operation really does look pretty seriously similar, that’s all good.

Jeffrey Hazell isn’t totally down with it but nothing he says sounds like a deal breaker:

What’s the deal with codecs tho? I read a guy giving out about adobe’s lack of a DNXHD or PRORES – Presuming that the R3D with h264 mixed format timeline isn’t always going to fly and I know it can’t encode prores stuff – what codec do you most often plunk for if you’re batch encoding a bunch of rushes? i’d happily whack out everything dvcproHD or whatever myself like a slob, I’m just curious what common practise is – Or does premiere really really not need to transcode?

blech. Its just a mess tho. They never intended for this functionality to be there did they? I almost don’t see how they can usefully implement it given the scale of the problem the trackless timeline presents. I mean, maybe they can, but really, they’re fixing something they didn’t really want to fix, in order to provide compatibility that they don’t really care about. None of this is coming from a good place. Could be wrong.. sure lets see I guess.

the language usage was pretty utterly moronic tho, he said somewhat chagrined – there may well be just way too many eyes for that kind of malarky.
well crafted language equalling weapon/tool and all that..
