[Greg Andonian] “But looking ahead to the future, I think he does have a point. Someone in another thread pointed out that Adobe won’t have as much incentive to make significant improvements to their software when they do an upgrade, since everyone will be paying them whether they download the newest version or not. The days of Adobe having to convince people to upgrade every time instead of skipping some versions will be over. “
For sure. They might even become as anemic as Avid’s last upgrade. I DO recognize all that, but its not like we get a vote, other than with our feet. I’m generally happy about my decision, after Legacy booted me, to stay a NLE polygamist.

[Sandeep Sajeev] “‘m not angry or anxious.”
My apologies. I didn’t mean this to sound personal. I meant the general tenor of today’s discussion.
[Sandeep Sajeev] “There will always be someone who’s disappointed by something. I’m not, in this case anyway, because I was expecting this to happen.”
I was hoping it wasn’t going to, but feared that it was. And, I am a little disappointed, though, I’ve made my peace with it. I’m already on CC, so it doesn’t really affect me personally, but I don’t like what it might do to wider adoption of Premiere CC, which I like.
[Sandeep Sajeev] “And when you’ve got Adobe reps disliking posts that are critical, well that just seems bush league to me.
“That’s a little crude, at least not without a pointed rebuttal or explanation.

[Sandeep Sajeev] ” If this is an automatic process then how many editors are comfortable upgrading in the middle of a job?”
You have complete control over this. And, it is program by program. So, if you have a deadline next week, you can wait.
[Sandeep Sajeev] “What makes Adobe different? The fact that a couple of guys who work there pop on forums and social media telling us that they’re listening to Pro-users? Is that all it takes?”
I understand the anger and anxiety, but as far as I’m concerned, having watched Premiere develop from 5. to Cloud, I feel very comfortable saying that they have been extremely diligent in listening to both complaints and ideas and have worked quite hard to deliver what I consider to be a very professional set of tools. Just because you don’t like the direction they’ve taken with Cloud–which I understand–is it really fair to accuse them of this kind of hypocrisy?
[Sandeep Sajeev] “Apple doesn’t need a monthly check from us – they’ve been giving away updates for free, and guess what, the software has improved significantly. Why? Because people were pissed and had a choice.
“Quite true.

I just think that is hilarious.

[James Taylor] “And suddenly FCPX is starting to look good again. Wow, didn’t take very long to go full circle.
“Not any better than it looked yesterday or the day before.

[Alex Hawkins] “But as an EP of the show?
Meh! Not so good.
“Yeah. I agree. Though, my daughter really agrees. She occasionally uses Moffat as a swear word.

[Joe Campanale] “Regardless, I suspect Adobe will eventually adjust the terms once the dust settles.
“It seems to me that they’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking this out. I’d be surprised, albeit pleasantly, if they changed course.

[Alex Hawkins] “Chris, tut tut!
“The Crimson Horror” and I believe Madame Vastra is a Silurian and Strax is a Sontaran.
“Bravo!
[Alex Hawkins] “I reckon the new series peaked at the end of Season 3 with Last Of the Time Lords. It’s been a slow downhill trend for me since then. Go back and have a look at some of those earlier eps like Girl in the Fireplace, Blink, Father’s Day, not to mention the good old 2 parters (what’s happened to them?).”
Yes! The two parters! I wonder that, as well. And, I can still make my sister’s skin crawl by asking her, in just the right voice, “Are you my mommy?” Of those, the Library episodes might be my favorite. I’m a Tennant fan, and like Eccleston, too. Smith is okay, but yes, a bit too much mugging. I did like the whole Silence arc, and “Let’s Kill Hitler” was a blast.
[Alex Hawkins] “Tom Baker was definitely the best. And those stories were great back then. Good solid sci fi stuff. Imaginative and interesting. Unfortunately a sneeze used to make the sets wobble.”
And death rays fx came out as solid green lines.

“Yes. I think we have. And, yet I’m still laughing at that, and must play iy one more time.
