…and Premiere Pro. 😉

[Jim Giberti] “Dennis R from Adobe frequents this forum and is a great resource for all things PP.”

Indeed I do. Always willing to help.

[Richard Cardonna] “Adobe is maybe the only one that does not offer any hw but they are expanding into other areas in internet business.”

Adobe is a committed, cross-platform, software only solution. It provides some distinct advantages, but there have been times when I wish we could purchase a hardware company. Long term, I like being a software-only company.

Hi Ryan,

There are no demo discs of any of our products as far as I know. They all have to be downloaded as we assumed most people. If you’d like to reach out to me, post a comment on my blog with your phone number or email and I will reach out to you. I will not post the comment.

Thanks,
Dennis – Adobe guy

ps – which school?

[Aindreas Gallagher] “Also I’m leery of the notion of Ubillos as the godfather of editing. the version of premiere he developed was crazy.”

It’s good to mention that Randy has had nothing to do with Premiere Pro in a very long time. Premiere Pro was a complete re-write. CS3 went back to the Mac and CS5 was 64-bit. The A/B Roll methodology of the old Premiere is long gone with V1 of Premiere Pro.

It certainly is an interesting time. I think that Adobe definitely wants to be aware of not relinquishing it’s historical user base in the middle type user (prosumer). We think competition is good and stand by it. It makes the products better more quickly for users.

I will say though that even if Mac does take a good portion of the consumer/prosumer space, it will be on the Mac platform only. Then, in many ways it is competing against itself with iMovie vs. FCPX. The PC platform will still be vibrant for many years to come.

Thanks for the input.

We are investing in tablet applications and with the announcement of the Creative Cloud, there are a number of apps that are available for iPad and Android including a very functional Photoshop Touch app.

My personal pov is that you need to have the right task for the device. IOW, building an NLE on a tablet will probably be an exercise in frustration right now. However, if you build something that enhances a device and edit experience, then you’ve got something. I’ve got two ideas in mind that would fit that bill.

In time, I think that you’ll see more functionality and tasks go to tablets as they become more powerful and UI experiences resolve.

My 2 cents,

Thanks. I think there are a lot of variables here but if I were to state them it wouldn’t be very classy, so I think it’s best to say that it will be interesting to see this thing play out. Thanks for sharing your opinion. 😉

[David Lazaro Saz] “And what do you think about a Dell Precision T7500?”

I wish I could say. It’s been really easy to deal with HP. Dell is a terrific partner too, but I’ve not been able to test their boxes.

[Steve Connor] “Unless they buy Adobe?”

Hey, they have the cash for it, but I don’t think that the fit is there. Adobe wouldn’t be as profitable to Apple if they were Mac platform only. Part of our zen if you will, is being open and cross platform. I don’t think that would happen to fit with Apple’s business model right now. And to point back to the original conversation, a Tower would be a compelling argument for Premiere Pro and After Effects, but if there isn’t going to be another tower then (barring Craig’s prophecy) it makes even less sense.
