[craig slattery] “David Lawrence] “I wouldn’t hold my breath ;)”
Only time will tell. But Im very rarely wrong.”
Well, heavens to Betsy! Nice to meet ya. I, personally, am rarely very wrong, though it has been known to happen. I do generally get big chunks right. And often–though not this week–I am very wrongly rare, since I don’t seem to get enough sun and end up a bit pasty from long bouts in the edit bay. But very rarely wrong? Wow. That’s quite a statement. And whose word do we have to take on that? Well, somebody who is very rarely wrong. So, yeah, take this to the bank!

[Paul Kim] “I’m also unsure as to whether or not I should have them learn FCP 7 since many people are still using that for good paying projects. Though by the time some of them are out of school, maybe not.
“Just FYI–the current version of Premiere and FCP7 are very compatible, both in sharing files, and in operation.

Paul, this is the perfect forum to ask this question. You’ll get a wide variety of answers.
Given your choices, my inclination would be to go with CS6 because of the other programs available in the full suite, its cross-platform availability, and its aggressive student/teacher pricing. I also have a strong personal preference for Premiere over FCP X as an editing tool, but lets leave that out of the discussion.
The fact that the Educational CS6 production bundle only costs about $50 more than FCP X (when combined with Motion and Compressor), and that it is easily available for educational rental at 30 bucks a month would be enough for me to go with CS6, what with Photoshop extended, After Effects, Flash, Audition, etc. Add to this that your students can run CS6 on either a Mac or a PC, and I think you have a fairly winning argument for CS 6.
And, Premiere’s a good program. I’m curious about Avid, though. They have strong student/teacher incentives as well. What was your reason for ruling it out so early?

[Bill Davis] “[Chris Harlan] “So, your point is that a video like this is somehow new?”
No Chris.
The video is not what’s new and frankly, I’m surprised that you aren’t getting the point. “
That’s because the point(s) you are trying to make seem(s) quite fluid and has(have) apparently altered some from your original post. So, no, I don’t get the point you are trying to make; perhaps when you eventually arrive there, you will share.
[Bill Davis] “I like trying to understand change. I can’t find any interest (or profit, really) in simply resisting it or dismissing it out of hand.
You may not be curious as to what’s happening in examples like I posted. But I am. And I suspect that others here are as well.
“Why do you think I’m dismissing change out of hand? I don’t see anything here that hasn’t been happening for the last half decade or more. I’m just not sure what you are trying to discuss here, or why this piece is somehow an example of something new. From a geological perspective, its quite new. Otherwise, not so much.
[Bill Davis] “I’m not holding them up as “better” than anything else. Just seeing things that make me feel that the development of skills and sophistication which happened in the early days of TV (when it was the ONLY game in town) are now happening in the web video space.
“This would be a terrific observation in 2006-07. And I think everybody who posts here would have agreed with this several or more years ago. Not that its no longer worth talking about, but thats not how you phrased it.
[Bill Davis] “The cute cat videos are giving way to something else.
“Don’t think so. They’ll still be around. As to the available bevy of other more serious, or more ably produced things–there is a lot of that too.

Crikey! A seizure-inducing Internet with no Harding test to stop it. I’ve always wondered whether there was an actual series of seizures that the Harding was developed to stop, or whether its always been a better-safe-than-sorry hypothetical. Any of you Brits have hard Harding evidence?

[Bill Davis] “Since my point seemed to escape some – I didn’t post this as a “look at how brilliant these ideas are” deal. I posted it because I’m interested in, and trying to track a bit about what video is “becoming” on the web.

Hee hee. You know, he could double as the for the X in FCP X.

[Oliver Peters] “Correct. FCP X doesn’t display audio bit depths anywhere that I can see. Only kHz.

“Sigh. That’s sad, but not surprising.

Mismatched bit-depths and/or sampling rates can cause something that I would describe as crackling sound. I occasionally run into this at a hardware level where sync clock is taking orders from something it shouldn’t, but I’ve also encountered semi-corrupted files that seem to have flags that say they are one thing, when their sampling is in fact something else. When its a file issue, I usually convert to a different format, like .wav, and then reconvert, all the while making sure bit-depths and sampling rates are set correctly.

Its a poor argument framed with slight of hand. There’s no “singularity” here. Because memes appear to the casual viewer to–poof–appear out of nowhere, does not mean that they do. The memes are not being created by “the Internet,” even though that might appear to someone to be the case, but are actually the byproduct of millions of sweaty human hands, thinking that their friends will think what they are doing is funny. That is an obvious fact, but the guy jumps right over it.
