breath holding might not be in order there methinks. My own personal fantasy land has apple and adobe getting skulled on beers, declaring amity, and setting about creating extraordinary software architectures. I mean, if apple is becoming an ecosystem, then surely adobe could look after a field or two within? I dunno, while that australian bloke was v.o.ing on aperture’s demo qt & I was seeing how apple had worked through the methodology without much in the way of inherited bias (barring the dock genie..& the ipod five stars), I actually found myself wishing that i could instead be seeing their thinking with direct relation to the motion design environment AE occupies. Shake, no more than flame (used flint for a few years) is not my bag. Too many editors have told me how much they like motion, and combustion feels, like flint, a bit teutonic, but; even though its a distant cousin, aperture smelt quite right. The layers of internal media management, layout & execution looked deeply coherent. I believe somebody else on another forum posited the question as to why apple did not put themselves at macromedias door, with all the inevitable consequences. I guess photoshop is the silver bullet in that respect. premiere certainly isnt. Perhaps apple feels it only gets to risk one premiere?

oh no its not. Thats very, very good software. & its not competition: no layers, no masks no blurs. Apple have almost certainly, successfully divined a new market segment here. You should look at the quicktimes at apple.com; that thing is gorgeous. & its processing raw images in realtime using coreimage. & its completely non-destructive. The project management tools are superb too..

thats true. I may have been freaking out a smidge there.. Still. Id better not see any stage-cast metaphors turning up in AE. Oh no siree. And they can keep their tweeening too..

thats mad. (and safely within quotes too..) I never over-thought about the degree to which new delivery platforms might influence post production apps. If we’re going to embedded (?) advertising/content slugs in an mp4 type thing, i guess that might seriously change the media preperation.. Id always presumed this merger wouldn’t mean much more (to me) than flash getting a decent adobe timeline. I dearly hope I dont end up having to learn flash script; javascripts’s more than freaking me out enough as it is..

i know. Sure ive even sent them compromising photos of myself as confidentiality collateral. No joy.

or lie entertainingly..

no wait.. Ah feck it. Im off to play with my photoshopping centre 1.0 beta. Annnd- i have to use 3d gloves to work the interface, long sessions give sunburn annnnd i have successfully created and manipulated five dimensional imagery. So there. Toys taken, going home;)

oh no. this thread is so getting slammed now. I was only kidding about the info. Eeek…
ehm. i was never here.. -
weeell, presuming that the audience wasn’t under an nda(?), does that mean that someone of knowledge might feel inclined to titillate the masses with some teaser comments? Certainly not, came the booming reply, but i thought id ask… I mean are those rumors of liquid gui effects when you drop in an effect true? Oh no wait. wrong crowd.. While im at it; the demoes of aperture at the apple site look mightily impressive. I actually wish i was a professional photographer, just so as i could justify buying the thing. The internal organisation, looks at first glance, to blow bridge out of the water. In the sense that its not required to be generic to a number of different software packages. It feels conceptually devoted to the task. Something that adobe land sometimes is not? The thing looks fluid & sharp as a tack. And anything that has HUDS, well, it makes me think of topgun somehow. Watching it in action, i felt a strange yearning. I’m reared on AE, but I’ll be well curious to see where adobe’s thinking is with no. seven.

tee hee. Do the power windows come with optional power tiers? Not to mention double glazing..:) Had a goo at the davinci website. Impressive looking stuff; i’m presuming mind bendingly expensive, but impressive. Mind you, one thing you can say about adobe; they wouldn’t go charging you a ton of cash for the facility of five extra adjustment layers, not to mention that their forceful masks are bezier adjustable.. go proletariat!
