What makes you believe apple will “finish” x next year?
I’m not disputing it could happen, but I keep reading people talking about the future for Apple like they have access to internal Memos.
As far as I know now about Apple, they are not planning to “finish” anything They seem to have indicated they will add some features, but getting it up to FCP7 or beyond….. there is nothing I’ve read from anyone but users, who, after all are guessing, or praying, that says Apple’s doing anything that will match Avid or Adobe or for that matter Edius.
I’m just interested in understanding why you and others believe something is happening contrary to the reality that is present today.

I made the switch to CS 5.5.2, but I also made the switch to the PC from the Mac.
I just finished my first major piece – an 8 minute corporate video with as many as 7 layers at a time. Now, take a seat, cause it was all realtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did a number of Premiere to AE return trips, which was flaws. I also did a few Premiere to Audition (read sound booth) round trips, worked great. The encoding software is tons faster than compressor, and has more options. I’ve made a Blu-Ray disc, a better quality SD DVD, and sent some stuff to YouTube. All in record time.
The PC, which I built from scratch cost me less than $2K, has 13.5TB of storage, 16GB of RAM and 6 cores (It’s an AMD – I’d like to move up to the Bulldozer 8 core this winter). For the first time in years, and I do mean years, I had fun editing again. You can experiment without waiting for 15 minutes to render, change things in a heart beat, and much more. When I did render my final video it took seconds, not hours.
I liked being an Apple guy, and I will use my 27inch quad core iMac and laptop for quite sometime for my internet stuff, email, etc. But the PC rules for editing.
It’s cheaper to build, cheaper to upgrade, and it is almost as stable as the Mac. There are still some quirks about using a PC.
I can’t but wonder how great CS6.0 will be as I know Adobe is keen to accept feature requests from their customers. They actually listen it seems. I can’t remember when Apple listened to anyone.
Oh, and Craig. All this was possible without a Thunderbolt port. WOW!

If they had released a FCPS 4, I’d be happily editing on it, rather than spent the $2K on switching to PC and Premiere CS5.5.2.
I’d still think Craig was hooked on some sort of drug that made him incapable of actually answering the question, and that gives him an inability not to use the word Thunderbolt in a posting here.

You know Herb, I’ve been on and off these forums since they became available. I go back to before the COW was the COW. I’ve moderated, trained, and much more here.
I typically try and participate in a helpful manner, and then something like this happens.Someone decides to “Police” the forum, or I get trolled by someone like Craig.
It’s almost always someone who goes around thumping on his chest about free speech, or the one or multiple of the amendments from the US constitution, for which I care little as I am Canadian, and anyway, it’s usually mis-quoted or misapplied. Rights! or Your stepping on my rights, or you have no right etc, etc. I keep reminding myself, the only right I can guarantee is my right to ignore this place.
Then I just look at what I’ve got myself into, and remove my name from the membership, take the book mark off my browser, and forget about the place.
So, I’ll be doing that now. See you again in a few years if I remember – or is it forget about the crap I observed here.
Good Night

Herb,
[Herb Sevush] “you don’t have the right to tell anyone else not to post a response”
I’m not taking away any of his, yours or anyone else’s rights.
His post was directed directly at me. Read the 2-3 above, and we were talking to each other.
His post had nothing to do with the question – or statements about the topic at hand. It’s about people’s opinions on Red and the new Canon camera.
As usual, he’s trolling. You want to encourage it, fine with me. What I did was ask him not to respond to anything I said. I am within my rights to that opinion and request.

Craig,
Your infatuation with me is getting old very quickly.
I don’t think my system is capable of managing that much data – in other words the amount of data used to shoot in 4K, or even larger.
I can’t display 4K natively. I’m not wealthy enough to be able to afford a 4K projector, nor the high quality screen I’m sure it affords. Can I play it out to a 1080 device – sure, but if you’re going to play with the big toys, I think it’s important to be able to view them natively.
Lastly, the name of the thread is : “Is there a winner here between Canon and RED?”. So far you have yet to voice any opinion that is based on that question. As usual, you like to try an impress the world with responses about editing, and work arounds for it.
RTFM – OK?
Please do me a favour. Please cease and desist responding to any post I might make on any forum on the internet. You have no knowledge I need.
Govern yourself accordingly!
Cordially Yours

Good for you Craig.
It’s not the question being posed, but good for you!

That wouldn’t be my shooting style. I’m not a fix it in post kinda guy. I know my craft, and I shoot what I want and need.

They are kinda both lost on me. $20K for the Canon according to the press release, and I would need glass as I am a Nikon SHooter. Canon has me gun shy these days because of the issues that have plagued their top of the line Pro DSLRs (Focus issues)
Red, well When they announced the red one way way back, I wrote that it was snake oil. They were demoing a carved piece of wood at a trade show, making delivery promises that anyone could see wouldn’t happen. Then they released years after they promised – yes years.
This camera was initially priced under $5K. Now, to get a package that works would be something close to $15K, or 3 times more. Will it ship in less than a month from now as promised. I’d doubt it. Can my editing system handle it – no, I don’t think so – Premiere Pro CS5.5.2 with lots of fast storage, but I wouldn’t bet it would be happy. How would I show the footage anyway. I don’t have the money for anything that could display 4K.
I will buy a new camera in 2012, but I don’t think either of these two will be on my list.

Which Apple pro apps were you going to run on this non existent computer?
How much more than a windows 7 machine were you going to pay?
Craig, go sell a video, and start producing something. You have too much time on your hands, or perhaps Apple is paying you to shill for them.
