[Robert Brown] “A timeline in Photoshop just seems immoral.

[David Lawrence] “[Bill Davis] “Watch out David…
You’ve just described “magnetism” using the word “nice.”
That could eventually come back to haunt you.
; )”
LOL, I have no problem with ripple Bill. I just like being able to turn it off during the 90% of the time I don’t want or need it. ;)”
I’m just so confused here. Bill’s doing hyperbolic handstands because he seems to believe that Adobe has cribbed Apple’s wonder tool into Photoshop, but all I saw was a couple of clips being moved around on a single track/layer and Rippling when they were. I thought the Magnetic Timeline hoopla was all about attaching clips and bringing them along for a ride, attached audio and video moving out of your way, and the ability to drop relatively complex clusters of clips pretty much anywhere without the danger of clip collision. Sort of Ripple on steroids, animal tranquilizers, and dust from the pulverized planet of Gallifrey. All I saw in the Adobe spot was a bit of decade-old Ripple. Not that light NLE tools aren’t a fine feature to add to Photoshop; I know there are times I’ve wished they were there. But, what is Bill on about? Am I missing something? Is there some slight of hand that I’m not attuned to in the video? I mean, I really can’t see it.

[Bill Davis] “I honestly thought this was a joke headline.
Then I watched the video and realized it was completely true.
The Adobe team has actually coded “magnetism” into Photoshop’s new video editing capabilities.
Wow.
I’m stunned.
“Bill, what on earth are you talking about? All I saw was a timeline in Ripple mode. I’m stunned that you’re stunned. In your mind, does the “magnetism” kingdom now incorporate anything that ripples? Does Avid have it now, too?

6.01 fixed it for me too. Any other changes to your system? OS updates?

[David Lawrence] “[Chris Harlan] “Did anyone notice that Randy Ubillos’ title has changed? His title was “Chief Architect for Video Applications” but on iPad keynote video he is now “Chief Architect for Photo and Video Applications.””
Yup. As a matter of fact, he was the one giving the iOS iPhoto demo during the new iPad launch.
[Chris Harlan] “Do you suppose that is up a tier for Randy or down a tier for Video?”
Maybe both?
“That would be my thought. Just one more little thing.

Do you suppose that is up a tier for Randy or down a tier for Video?

[Craig Seeman] “As far as the peripheral makers go, only devices I’d consider “pro” are coming out for Thunderbolt such as Video I/O and high speed storage which would be needed in fast file access. There’s currently not much motive for most consumer to use Thunderbolt (although that may change at some point).
“How about Apple’s own monitor that is both Hub and monitor? Belkin’s announced hub? Sonnet’s PC card adapter? Seagate’s GoFlex adapter, Western Digital’s Thunderbolt MyBook drive, LaCie’s eSata adapter?
Very acceptable versions of the Pro devices you refer to are also available in either USB3 or PC Card. Does that make USB3 a pro only option?
Frankly, I would have been far happier if Apple had embraced eSATA and USB3. I could have been using them for years now, instead of just finally getting into TBolt because there are finally ALMOST enough devices to justify it.

[Paul Jay] “A lot of complaining about a personal opinion.”
Well, since your “personal opinion” was about us, you shouldn’t be so shocked.
[Paul Jay] “No replies on my main question.”
I’m guessing that that is because most people took it as I did, which is as a rhetorical question which was meant as a statement and therefore did not require an answer.
[Paul Jay] “Is Thunderbolt consumer or pro technology?”
Neither/Both. Its agnostic. It is simply an extension of the PCI bus. It can be used as an advanced docking station for a Mac Air, or for video editing i/o. It’s like asking if a $400 no-name tower is consumer or pro because it has USB3 or, better, PCI slots.
[Paul Jay] “Does a consumer needs 600 MBs storage + HD SDI in/out?
“I’m guessing you meant something other than than “600 MBs storage,” since 1 TB is becoming the minimum standard size for most Hard drives. As to the “HD SDI in/out”–I don’t understand the relevance of the question. No, consumers don’t need that. But, you could put the same sort of i/o into the $400 no-name machine, because it has PCI slots. In the case of ThunderBolt, you can add that HD SDI for a minimum of $1000. In the cheep-o PC, you can put it in for something like $600.
[Paul Jay] “Is Apple producing consumer technology?
“Yes. People use it at work, too.
