[Bob Woodhead] “- Copy and paste clip parameters onto other clips?”
No, but we know FCP users want this and it’s on our list.
[Bob Woodhead] “- Can you save favorites, like filter presets & transitions, in a project bin?”
You can’t save them in the project but they are persistent on your machine. There are ways to move them to other machines too.
[Bob Woodhead] “- What (new) 3rd party plugin devs are on board, ESPECIALLY to create transition plugins? For example, it would be awesome to have FxFactory show up in PPro.”
We have just about everything and since we’ve been 64-bit a long time, you won’t have to worry about waiting to long to get updated versions. FX Factory built their architecture on Apple’s graphics engine and as a result cannot easily port it over to Premiere Pro. My advice is to tell them you want it for PRemiere Pro. As a plugin company they are dependent on users and host applications like Premiere Pro.
[Bob Woodhead] “Search timeline for clip names, selected clips can then be acted upon (see Q#1 above).”
Several ways I could interpret your question here, but I would say in a general sense, yes. We have searching in the project panel and a variety of ways to search. We have clip usage now showing up on the thumbnails in the bins.
[Bob Woodhead] “Nested sequences that can retain their (preview) render status. Eg; I had a project recently that had dozens of greenscreen + graphics segments that combined in different ways to create 21 30-minute vids. In FCP, as the render files are maintained, I only needed to render the composites once, and all the renders flowed to the resultant sequences, saving a HUGE (monster) amount of render time.”
Don’t know, but I think the answer is yes and it’s been that way for a while. I won’t be able to check for a while so maybe someone else can help me out on this one. BTW – remember that our greenscreen is a) very usable and b) real-time!

[Chris Harlan] “When is the release?”
Soon. Can’t be more specific.

[Herb Sevush] ”
Where when and how can I get a demo in the NYC area.”I call NJ home and am in the city ALL of the time. Come to the AENY.org group in May and I hope to be there showing a lot of CS6. Hope as in “I hope I’m not on a plane somewhere else!”

[Aindreas Gallagher] “how did you make it so awesome?”
I had very little to do with it other than take engineers to big customers and yell very loudly about things FCP and other types of editors want. I represent you guys to Adobe and hopefully some of those things get heard. 😉
[Aindreas Gallagher] “why are you so tall?”
6’5″ because I know that God knew I wanted to be tall. Pete at G-Tech beats me handily at 6’8″ or more…
Thanks for your kind words and support.

[Lance Bachelder] “Biggest question of course is upgrade cost…”
There will be a lot of options and we always try to be compelling with the upgrade costs as possible. Too many options to outline here and you don’t mention your specific case. you’ll know soon enough.

[Steve Connor] “Yes, will the release of the retail versions be at the same time as the Creative Cloud launch?”
There’s so much going on around it and I’ve been so focused on NAB and CS6 that I don’t know the answer for sure. I will check and reply here.

[Jules bowman] “I’m experimenting with PP5.5 at the moment and I truly hope adobe pull a rabbit out of the hat because at the moment it is making me miss FCP even more (yes, I still use 7 but that point is redundant going forward) by being frustrating in many ways where FCP7 seemed simple.”
Jules, we’ve put a lot of energy into making FCP editors happy but at the same time not stray from our own vision of what makes the best NLE ever. In the end, some people will not like our latest version because of something we didn’t do (like FCP7) that is critical to them. Our hope and always our goal is to make the best software for the most people and then listen on where we can make it better the next time.
Time will tell us if we were able to meet your needs. Also, don’t forget to always file your feature requests here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform

[Andrew Kimery] “The shell of the Mac tower is from ’04, but the interior layout has changed multiple times as it’s contained everything from single proc G5’s, to water-cooled CPUs, to the intel chips it has today.”
True Andrew.
My comment was around the idea that HP has ‘out-appled’ Apple in elegent form and functional design for towers. I’m on record as stating the HP Z800 case design is a thing of beauty and superior in almost every way.

[Gary Huff] “And that is solely Apple’s fault. Premiere is required to utilize QuickTime 7 to encode QuickTime files under Windows (outside of writing in the functionality from scratch), and until Apple allows encoding to ProRes using QuickTime 7, it’s a no-go.”
That’s not entirely true. At a high level, we want to avoid QT wherever possible in order to stay away from a 32-bit architecture. For example, we do not use QT player to decode H.264 in a .MOV wrapper but rather work around it to provide 64-bit performance.
Where we have to use QT is when there are propietary codecs such as ProRes where we must use QT. Even then, our performance is pretty robust.
Hope this helps,

[Shane Ross] “Think the MacPro is overpriced. Look at the HP Z800, that is the one rated for Avid MC, Scratch… It starts at $3000. With a pathetic amount of RAM, and ho hum graphics card.”
True, but I would add the following:
a) You know HP is continuing to invest in the workstation market
b) You have choice that you can’t really get in a Mac Pro (GPU, drive configuration, peripherals)
c) Perhaps most interesting to me is (my opinion) that the Z800 is a better Mac from a case design POV than the Mac. Case design, entry into the system, accessibility, layout are all superior to MacPro which was designed in 2004.
d) Once a system is properly configured, I imagine your prices are the same or close to it.In the end, you’re paying for the HP name, design, etc. just like you are for a MacPro. Can you build a screamin’ PC for a fraction of the cost of an HP – absolutely. At least you have the option in PC land, your option on the Mac is to buy an iMac.
