If you can’t see how that very line of yours can most easily be read in “angry whining” mode, then I can’t help you.
“And if Bill can’t help you, who possibly can?
[Bill Davis] “And that’s kinda being established as your “brand” here. At least in my mind.
“Yeah, but your “brand” is that anybody who isn’t having puppies with X is a hater.
[Bill Davis] “It’s the boyfriend who disses what the girlfriend is wearing then is astonished when she gets mad. “But you KNOW I love you” he says.”
Yes, Bill. X does make your butt look big.

[Andy Field] “What am i doing wrong?”
I believe I can tell you exactly, because it is the same thing the flummoxed me at first. Make sure the track your are pasting to is selected, and then regular paste will suddenly be available in the menu.

[Lance Bachelder] ” but Apple is always the one with the biggest surprises and let downs – I’m hoping for big things in the next rev.
“Oh, yes. Me too. My guess that it will be something. Above, I was just challenging a logical assertion by simply answering the question. But, yeah. I think the next version might be neat. Fun times!

[Nicholas Zimmerman] “Why else hold off on any real features for an entire year. “
Because they have nothing in the short term to contribute?

[Andrew Kimery] “I certainly don’t feel like the Adobe employees that voluntarily frequent forums have gone into duck and cover mode since the CC launch. Quite the opposite I’d say even though I wouldn’t blame them for clamming up considering some of the juvenile (and sometimes personal) attacks some COW members toss around.
“Agreed. I think they’ve been exemplary.

[Andy Field] ” one I’d like them to fix is being able to cut and paste transitions…this doesn’t seem possible now”
But, you can! Put your cursor over the trans., select the trans., copy the trans. Put you cursor over the cut where you want to paste, select it, make sure the track is selected, paste.

[Morten Ranmar] “But it is very buggy”
I’m experiencing this, as well.

[Andy Field] “Adobe hit a home run with this.
“For me, yeah. I like it. I don’t do multicam often, and the subscription doesn’t bother me terribly. I did find that, with the particular blend of speed changes and gfx I was using on my last project, I was crashing a lot. Recover was swift, and I seldom lost anything.
I do enjoy working with it. Its got the flexibility that FCP7 had in terms of arranging bins and multiple time lines, and the pliancy of interface, once you get used to it, is very impressive. I think Avid is still, marginally, a better cutter, though I haven’t completely plumbed this version of Pr, so I can’t say for sure.
Right now, I’m working Pr, MC, and FCP7, though I’m very close to letting FCP7 go for my own uses.
