[Steve Connor] “[Joseph W. Bourke] “shame on them for hiding behind the curtain…”
However, they do listen to user requests and the updates have reflected this. The fact they they aren’t engaging in discussion on here doesn’t mean they’re not listening”
Maybe they’re listening. Maybe not. The point is who would know?
The development improvements to X may have been on the drawing board before the release of 1.0. But I’ll bet they couldn’t help listening to the squawk that little event kicked up 🙂 I hope some day some ex Apple employee spits out his muzzle and tells us what went on inside Cupertino’s doors that week. The walls must have run with tears of blood.

[Joseph W. Bourke] ” Has anyone done any real research into the accuracy of these scopes?”
A good question. It would be nice to hear someone from Adobe on the subject.
BTW there are new scopes in Speedgrade. Check out Patrick Palmer’s overview
https://success.adobe.com/en/na/programs/events/1303_30759_nab.html?sdid=KEYJL
You’d think that those scopes would be as accurate as any. Maybe Patrick should be asked on the Speedgrade forum.

[Chris Harlan] “[Marcus Moore] “With Adobe just announcing CS7 improvements (which keep in mind won’t be released until the fall)”
Where are you getting info on a release date or window from?”
Yes, where? That would be way out of keeping with their history of releasing shortly (a month or two) after NAB.

[Aindreas Gallagher] ” I was looking into a stage box with perfect little people dancing in it. beautiful”
It really was exactly that. Completely sold me on the possibilities of 3D…and educated me somewhat about the limits for its best use.

[Franz Bieberkopf] “Previously the warp stabilizer info would be stored in the PPro project file, causing crazy bloat (one shot could easily be several hundred MB of stabilizing info). Has this changed?”
Good question. It’s one of the reasons I started using dynamic link to AE to do all my warp stabilizing.

[tony west] “I wasn’t really asking about respect for X
I was asking about respect for Hark and Yu
I was wondering if their opinions carried much weight and if not, why not?”
Well you were really asking if their opinions about X merited respect. That’s hard to judge from an Apple puff piece where it appears they’re using to assemble dailies and send to Mistika for return of roughed-in CGI work. Just as hard as it is to judge what the Coens’ opinion about Premiere Pro is from the Adobe announcement. I suppose it’s just nice to hear about.
As to Hark and Yu getting respect anyone who’s seen Flying Sword at Dragon’s Gate would have to respect their use of CGI and superb use of 3D – best 3D I’ve seen in a dramatic movie though Pina is my all time best use of it in an artistic sense.

[tony west] “The amount of respect they get”
Tony, I think you might keep in mind that Apple did a lot of hurt to a huge number of people with the way they released X. In clear terms it showed no respect for their editing community so to ask many in that community to have respect for X may be asking too much. I think it will take a lot of water under the bridge and a lot of fantastic things in X, for most of those people to forget what was done to them, if they ever can. I remember what Autodesk did to edit* users more than 10 years ago. The new Smoke may be a great product but it would have to leap tall buildings at a single bound while singing praises to Buddha, before I’d glance at it sideways. And I’m a forgiving person…but of people…companies who screw their customers, not so much. So Apple may have done themselves irreparable harm in the NLE field. You can’t leave a bad taste in most people’s mouths and expect them to happily taste your next meal.
Anyway that’s my perspective on it, FWIW.

[Warren Eig] “I talking about output from Speedgrade, not Premiere”
Speedgrade now has the transmit engine so all cards with transmit drivers should output.

[Warren Eig] “Will they ever support output for grading through AJA Kona?”
Output through the Kona’s SDI port has been available for some time. It’s certainly there in their drivers for the Mercury Transmit architecture from 6.0. Do you mean something else?

[Steve Connor] “Maybe not, as some of us prefer the option of the stability and speed of use of a good quality intermediate codec. Ingesting native media is great and very useful a lot of the time but there is a price to pay for it.”
Steve, Adobe has said DNxHD mezzanine support in the next version. That to me means DNxHD as an intermediate codec.
