[Bret Williams] “But finally, after what they say has been years in the making, the iPad pro is likely coming out.”
Just like they said the Apple Television set was coming out last year.

[John Rofrano] “The choice should be mine to do what’s right for my business… not Adobe’s business.
“It is Adobe’s business if you want to use the software that they purchased and developed over the decades. They can make it available however they damn well please. The only choice is if you want to use it or not.
Some of us do want to use it. And if you don’t, good luck to you.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I’ve got more serious problems as a freelancer than the subscription.”
Ditto.

[John Rofrano] “As soon as you fall on hard times, you loose your ability to get work because you can’t afford to rent the tools to get the work you need.”
Because given the choice between a creative toolset and your cable subscription, well, of course, you absolutely need cable.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I don’t think it’s the coming of the apocalypse, I half think it’s glory days?”
If you’re one of the handful of people who have the clients who have taste and are willing to pay for good work well done? Then yes.

[Jim Wiseman] “. Competition from new usually younger people is going to limit our income. Rental is bad for those whose cash flow is limited or sporadic.”
As opposed to dropping $2500 all at once?

[Mark Suszko] “what I’d suggest is one of the pocket sized digital audio recorders like a Zoom or Tascam, (cheap yet pretty good)”
I would get the Rode smartLav, mic yourself, plug into your smartphone, and hit record. It’s $50 and it will sound better than just having the built-in mic on a portable recorder.

[Bob Zelin] “I bothered to write this boring post, because you mentioned one of my MAJOR clients in your post. They recently fired their senior editor, who was AMAZING (but made too much money) and replaced him with a younger guy who is not as good, but gets the job done, and charges half as much.
And that’s my point. Randy Ubilos article specifically stated the target audience that he wanted. The idea is to get EVERYONE to start doing this. It’s certainly right for Apple – it’s just intimidating for “us”. The reality that ANYONE can do what we do. “
I can see where you are coming from. That a professional might do it “better” is entirely subjective to the person making the money decision who may not have any taste. They may think that they got more than their money’s worth from a nephew who is just messing around than what they would have paid someone who has to make a living at it.
The final product may actually be inferior, but if the client ultimately does not care about the difference, then there’s nothing you can really do.

[Joseph W. Bourke] “I don’t know whether Premiere Pro could have done it. That’s an awful lot of cuts…”
It looks exactly 12 and a half cuts more than Premiere can handle. So close!

[Tim Wilson] “Also true for my television, Blu-ray player, and network-connected home theater receiver. :-)”
Yup.
