[Aindreas Gallagher] “we’re having a conversation about the headline 3D type feature. Read that sentence back charlie.”

You’re talking about 3D text. We could just as easily talk about the ability to save effects/grades etc as effects presets, or the new masks, or the keyframing improvements, or the performance bumps, or the scopes, or the optical flow, or the dual GPU RED RAW processing, or the new camera formats they do support.

But what fun would that be? Personally I’m looking forward to animating my cats mouth in the new version of Pr. For my YouTube channel.

[Simon Ubsdell] “What should also be mentioned here, it that Apple in typical fashion have killed off the market for a high quality third party application in mObject.”

No they haven’t. The 3D stuff in X is really nice, but if you want to do anything other than text, you need mObject. mObject still gives you way more control over text, environments, surfaces etc. than the built in stuff.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “How is it that the major top line feature of a full dot release is a livetype style crazy 3D type renderer?”

Because you can’t take a pretty picture of the performance improvements which were done. Or the enhanced FxPlug and fcpxml functionality. That stuff alone is worth the full dot release number.

This reminds me of something….

[Bret Williams] “Not downloading just yet”

FWIW, this release is very stable. I updated while waiting for a client to call back. All good. 🙂

[Bret Williams] “Not downloading just yet. How does the copy paste work?”

In what sense? Effects?

[Walter Soyka] “Boom. Arbitrary 2D vector form extrusion.
“

Nice 🙂 Also, there have been some nice key framing improvements in Motion (and FCP) Copy/Paste keyframes in the Motion timeline is a pretty nice one…

Yep… it’s the hardware Catch 22. As soon as you buy a computer, a new version appears. 😉 I usually wait for the new version, and then buy the “old” one. usually at a discount. 🙂

[David Cherniack] “I thinks you guys should get over what apparently is a a bit of a persecution complex. “If Apple had done ____ people would laugh at it but when Adobe does it everyone thinks it’s shit hot.””

Well, that last bit is true, and annoying as hell. Especially to those of us who use both Pr and X. I’m seeing a therapist to try and get over it. lol

[David Cherniack] “Well Charlie, I wouldn’t know, about “nothing” and I could never speak for Adobe but I see no evidence that the color panel is anything more than Lightroom inspired”

I’ll give ya the Color Panel, which actually does look nice (finally) but hover scrub was intro’d a year after X came out, and skimming had been in iMovie since 2007. I’d be very surprised if there wasn’t some influence on that one. How about Search Bins? Not that it really matters… 😉

[David Cherniack] “I believe Hover Scrub was in the works long before X and the Color Panel was inspired by the popularity of the color controls in Lightroom
“

Of course. Nothing about X has “inspired” Adobe at all.
