[Simon Ubsdell] “My experience this side of the pond is very much that Media Composer is for the moment taking up any slack in the FCP7 market at least in terms of the feature film world. I’d be surprised if any feature was posted on Premiere for another year at least over here – but you never know. CS6 is certainly looking the business.
“In general, I would say that’s whats happening here in LA too, in relation to Avid. And promo shops that are Avid shops will remain that way. Where Premiere is having impact is in old FCP areas that are adjacent to heavy AE. This is where the movement is.

Yes, I would definitely like to hear what anyone has to say about audio handling.

[Simon Ubsdell] “I’d be very interested to know if your neck of the Universe is starting to make audible noises about actually using it, though.
“Yes, I’m hearing a few things here and there–some of them substantial–but all still speculation and not quite commitment yet. Still, FAR more in the last four or five months than I have heard in the entire history of Premiere until then. The maturity of the product, the low level of investment, and the void being left by 7 may actually make the difference this time around. The advantage that Avid has in this market, though, are the number of shows that post around Unity. And in general, Avid is probably the big winner in this town. But, there is definitely a hole in the promo world that Premiere might be perfect for.

Wow! Now THIS is an endorsement! Maybe I’ll give it a go before Summer.

Its REVOLUTIONARY. {Chortle}
I’ve already bought it because I generally buy every other CS Production upgrade. I’m guessing it will get much more scrutiny from me this time around as it is very possible that it will, over the next year or two, become a force in my little corner of the Universe. I haven’t played with it much, since its early days, because there has been no outside driving force to get me there, and my early impressions were fairly negative, though I have believed–for several years–from an intellectual POV that the software had much improved.
I AM much more personally interested in it, this time around, both because of the changes to Premiere and the radical changes to FCP X. So, despite the sloth that summer brings, I’m guessing I will be spending a lot of time with Premiere. -
[Craig Seeman] “Revolutions can be bloody, even for the victor. Revolutions can also be won by attrition.
FCPX is revolutionary even though we don’t know the long term outcome.
Sometimes establishing a small fortified beachhead is a first step.
“I’m sorry. FCPX is no more revolutionary than a new flavor of gum. EDL’s and offline editing were revolutionary, NLE’s were revolutionary, and that’s about it.
If there is any “revolution” to it at all, its a Bananas’ revolution. Remember, Underwear is now warn on the outside:

[Andy Field] “all those auto save files piling up in legacy final cut” Those auto saves saved our bacon more times than I can recount over the years.”
Me too. I have been and continue to be extremely grateful for my FCP backup folders. The idea of not having that kind of resource terrifies me. I mean, it feels CRAZY not to have it.

Now that’s what I call a 3D transition!

[Greg Andonian] “”Some of the Apple product managers wanted to charge a premium for Final Cut Studio with Color vs. Final Cut Studio without Color. Names such as Final Cut Studio Platinum or Final Cut Studio Extended Edition were bandied about”
I wonder if this is how the “Final Cut Extreme” rumors got started…
“I don’t think so. I personally never had one, but I remember a lot of talk back in 2006-7 about Apple reps having conversations with the majors about such a tool from folks I worked with.

[Andrew Richards] “[SCRI] “. . . the company expects to “trim” its product line.”
That shouldn’t be too hard. They have 542 products after all. A little more focus could do them a lot of good.
“Agreed.
