[Craig Seeman] “A buy option with subscription for updates and the ability for the user to exit, if they chose, and still have MC.
The ability to jump back in if you’ve exited, even though it’s full price again (protecting Avid from loses from upgrade skippers).
“I would like to know why, in the name of Jupiter that Adobe is really against this type of business model. Avid is taking a much better and fair approach. Yes, at the end of the day it is nothing more than a business decision but one I must respectfully disagree with. My two cents, whatever it is worth.

[Shawn Larkin] “I struggled with X for a while too. It has matured enough so you can “get around” the timeline now without being super creative because Apple have figured out how to allow you to do all those things you need to without tracks (most of the time anyways).
My gripe has always been: Sometimes tracks are better for particular tasks and I wish you could switch them on / off.
This version of Resolve kind addresses that with how it’s rippling feature set is integrated. At least in the demo. I have not used R11 yet.”
I agree and the trim tools in Resolve look great. This is one area Final Cut Pro X needs to address. I also like the fact how you can edit the keyframes directly in the timeline, that is a great feature.

Jeremy:For the collaboration side, the demo also shoes how this works with accepting or denying a change in the timeline. I have a feeling, that if you deny a change, there is a tracked way to keep what was there while the other person continues with the change. I mean, the BMD guys get those things happen.
Anyhow, my final feelings with Resolve is if people “get it” then it will get a lot of people jumping on it — pros and tinkerers. I mean, it’s free and it’s so powerful and it’s design is impeccable.”
Well said, this latest release looks to be a game changer. This might become the next version of Smoke, it is heading in that direction.

I am a independent user but started out with the full version of Resolve as of version 7, upgraded every year. I think Black Magic gives a very nice feature set in the Lite version but the full version is at a very nice price point. I think it is worth this price, considering every update has been free. My two cents, whatever it is worth.

Before then, do note that, in a longer version of my previous post (and yes, I do edit my posts), I had in fact observed that in some of the teases, they did use the word online…so I didn’t mean to imply that it was your imagination, David…but on the product page, not at all.”Not a problem. Hope no offense was taken. I enjoy reading your posts — they are entertaining and informative.

[Tim Wilson] “That’s what it says at the top of the Resolve 11 product page. Nothing about online. In fact, that word isn’t anywhere on the page.”
* Edit *
I did go back to the Black Magic Design website. On the main page I clicked on the circle with a 2 in it. Right there it did mention online editing. I did not dream this up after all.

I guessed I dreamed up hearing online editing. Perhaps that was from watching a video. Bins, tracks, plug-in support, and very nice trim tools makes me think it could be used an online situation. Will have to wait and see. This news makes me more and more optimistic about where things are headed.

At this point I have not heard anything along those lines. It might be a possibility, after all Adobe is know for its tight integration with “Dynamic Link”. I have never used Speed Grade personally, it looks like a solid piece of software.
-
Agreed, but it is heading in that general direction. They did say online editing. Going to play the wait and see game, something worth considering, though. I plan to keep X on my system for a very long time, not going to jump ship.

Things are getting interesting in 4K land. Strong competition this year.
No, but I know plenty of French! Just can’t say it on TV or here. 🙂

Current price is just shy of $9,000 USD last check. It looks like higher resolution production is getting closer. Been checking out a Sony 4K TV at the local Best Buy store. Too early to tell, but it looks impressive. I don’t think HD as we know it is going away just yet.
