[Steve Connor] “I think PPro 7 is going to be an important release for Adobe, they’ve had the time to properly digest and act on the fallout from the FCPX launch, if they get it right then your prediction may come true.”
I would actually say that CS6 was more the release post FCP X. CS6 was shipped in early May 2012 and the release date of FCP X was June 21, 2011.
However, I hope that our next release will delight some more of you. If not, we’ll still have a friendly conversation on this and other forums. 😉

[Bernhard Grininger] “But for me, the feature Motion-Compensated De-Interlacing has become an indicator on how far I can rely on PP in a workflow.”
Can you give me some more details on exactly what you expect here?
Thanks,

Hi Herb,
Subscription is all that you think that it is. If you do not continue with your subscription, the functionality of the products ceases. You wouldn’t expect your cell phone to still work free of charge after you cancelled the contract would you? It’s much the same, but I totally understand your concerns. Some people just prefer to pay more to have a ‘perpetual’ license of the software. But you are definitely paying more: so if you’re a business, it makes sense to consider a subscription. You get a couple of benefits – it’s a predictable cost, you can write it off on taxes as a legit business expense, you will automatically get upgrades when new versions become available and you get a growing list of services from the Creative Cloud.
Hope this helps,

[Alex Hawkins] “PPro is just totally lacking in the whole transition effect area IMO”
Agreed but as stated earlier, we are working on it.

https://www.idustrialrevolution.com/Here are two that are doing it as transitions today and a lot of others are working on it. I think we’ll get there.

[Alex Hawkins] “6) The RT audio mixing really needs to stay with the clips and not the tracks.”
Probably the #1 FCP oriented feature request still remaining to be done by us post-CS6. We are well aware of this issue and request.
File a feature request on the other one. 😉

Dave,
For the first three, I’d file feature requests with specifics. You can also email me privately to discuss.
For #4, this is a known bug. There is a workaround. Basically, if the audio has no keyframes in FCP, it brings the audio in at -infinity level. Add a single keyframe to your audio tracks and it should come in correctly. Yeah, it’s a hassle and I’m sorry.

[Oliver Peters] “As far as PPro and editing, for me there are a few issues that are still problematic.
1. You cannot open multiple projects at the same time.
2. You cannot modify audio channel configurations after the clip has been edited to the timeline. The source clips may be changed and then edited again to the timeline.
3. If you import a sequence from another project (like two editors working on the same project with mirrored media files), the import include a folder of master clips that correspond to the sequence. These are essentially duplicate master clips, but they cannot be deleted.”
1 – Yup, and we know it.
2 – I’m not a product manager, but I would think that this idea could easily get messy quickly. The audio engine Premiere Pro is powerful and I agree it requires a bit of know-how to set it up properly, but once you do, it should work and respond as you would expect. Changing how audio looks and represents in the timeline is problematic. If I wanted to change a clip with 8 mono audio clips to a single adaptive track – what do I do with the other tracks? what if there is other material on them, is it global to the sequence or just to the clip that I selected? I get your request, I’m just not sure how it could be handled cleanly.
3 – yup. -
[Andy Field] “Yes it needs a more robust set of plugins – but developers are katching up)”
And we are working with our developers to help them make more plugins. Realistically, the issue is more transitions. This is something that can be done by plugin developers for some time but until recently they didn’t have as much incentive to do it.

No we won’t charge double….

[Richard Cardonna] “Would this mean that upgrades will cost double? $800.00.
Boy they want to push the cloud very much, and I don.t like it.”
Ric – Yes, we do push the cloud, no doubt about it. I tend to think of it as a win-win. You get more value, features and products and we get predictable business. I understand that there are many who are hesitant about going this direction, but as I said above (or below?!) I tend to think that most software will be going this way in the future.
Let me know what your specific problems with it are.
