[Herb Sevush] ” believe Sony Vegas started out as a DAW and then became an NLE, keeping much of the original DAW design, which is one of the reasons it is such an outlier in the NLE world.
“It did indeed. It was Sonic Foundry’s multitrack followup to Sound Forge.

[Craig Seeman] “[Chris Harlan] “But it also was/is a possible path to profits. Right?”
It seems like a long shot to me.
I don’t think it’s related to hardware sales in a significant way. I suspect they may have the same software upgrade problem Adobe might have had but I’m not sure the same solution would work for Avid.
“I agree. I think Avid’s got a hard ride.
[Craig Seeman] “[Chris Harlan] “They have quite apparently changed their minds several times and in ways that don’t scream stability.”
I agree. It indicates to me they have no clear business plan about this. Of course if they have info that showed the crossgrade actually did result in a profit it might make sense to re-introduce it but I just don’t think that’s the case. If it were they might point that up in the report that they just delayed indefinitely.
They may be in a damned if you do damned if you don’t regarding reporting. Say nothing the stock drops. Report the ugly reality and the stock drops. On the other hand, take time to reassess and see if you can point a credible way forward when you finely do deliver bad news and it could have some positive spin with their new CEO. While I can certainly be speculative, on the surface of it, it doesn’t seem good at the moment.
“Again, yeah. I really enjoy using MC, and its shelf life in my part of the world should be good for a long time, but I’m not putting all my eggs in one basket anymore.

[Craig Seeman] “Chris Harlan] “a one time opportunity”
They’ve introduced the crossgrade again.
“I know. Who doesn’t. I was just talking about their thinking at the time. They have quite apparently changed their minds several times and in ways that don’t scream stability.
[Craig Seeman] “[Chris Harlan] “regain lost market share.”
Market share doesn’t necessarily equal profits.
“I’m not arguing that it necessarily does. But it also was/is a possible path to profits. Right?

[Andrew Kimery] “I saw it as an attempted loss leader. “
That’s how I saw it as well–a one time opportunity to regain lost market share.

[Walter Graff] “Hence my liberty to say line doubling.”
Not so much.

[Walter Graff] “All this marketing crap for TVs has confused an awful lot of people. Sorry but 1080 can not be discerned on a computer screen from 720”
For someone tossing around a parcel of “ignorants,” that’s an awfully silly thing to say.

[Charlie Austin] “Me too. Though I don’t think Apple is just making this up as they go along. 🙂
“It strikes me that there has been a certain amount of improvisation along the line, though they’ve done it with a bit more finesse and agility than stylemaster Michael Scott. Or, maybe not.

[Oliver Peters] “The trouble with DropBox is that typically people use it to share. I personally do not want to be connected to someone else’s DropBox account in order to share their content on my own DropBox. If I only have a free account, their material goes against my 2GB limit. Most DropBox users do not go the extra step to make a link public and simply send the link when posting a file to share.”
I use Dropbox all the time for approvals, and sometimes transfers. I never share the box, but send a link instead. I generally ask others to do the same. If you send a link instead of share, there is no space penalty. I DO pay for an account, so if I do occasionally have to share, its not too taxing. On the receiving end of things, I’ll get large files via Aspera delivery, which is far faster than anything I can muster from my end.

[Chris Harlan] “[Jeremy Garchow] “It went from A-Ha moment while drinking coffee in a situation that was obviously beyond Bob’s control, to you must edit in a pristine bordello with a cleaning service while trying to avoid getting your eyes plucked out to be a professional.”
No, it didn’t go there. Or rather, if it went there, I missed it. HOWEVER, I would be ver interested in seeing it go there, so if you can steer it that way, I would be most appreciative.
“Yes, Chris. IT DID GO THERE. If you’d bothered to read the whole thread you wouldn’t be all up on the J-Man and in his face about “pristine bordellos.”
