[Andrew Kimery] “2. How did you manage to only rant about changes that most people agree to liking in X? ;)”
Really, about the only thing I don’t like about X is that magnetic timeline. But I think that’s eventually fixable.
They even fixed the green frames bug which made me alter my “artistic vision” for a project (which was quite a big deal to me!).

[craig slattery] “To make matters worse, because we haven’t shot on tape for years, the operator on the DV25 forgot to allow for tape role and missed the clap on every occasion”
Not to derail or anything, but this made me laugh because it’s so true how dumb we must look using the technologies that used to be so in vogue just a handful of years ago. In my world, it seems no one remembers how to ingest P2 footage anymore.

It’s easy to install applications. That’s all I’ve really done with it. Clients are primarily on Dropbox for file sharing, though if I stick with it, I may check out the storage to drop the $10 per month Dropbox subscription at the very least.

[Brett Sherman] “Do I like the CC licensing? Not really. But, I don’t think it would prevent me from going with Premiere if I chose to. I chose not to for other reasons. I do like Apple’s licensing much better. It offers me enough flexibility and 5 copies I can work with.”
I like having two copies, but I could see three being a bit easier for me, though I doubt I’d ever run more than two at once, so if the deactivation/activation process for that becomes streamlined enough that you don’t have to think twice about it, then it wouldn’t be a problem for me. You absolutely need to be able to run it on two computers at once for the whole “render while continue working on another machine” deal.

[TImothy Auld] “I am quite curious as to whether you have ever registered any copyrights.”
The answer is “not yet”…but I fail to see what your point is. Do you think I am incapable of understanding that I could have my work infringed upon if I haven’t yet filed a copyright? Because I am very much aware of that. Do you believe the Gods of Copyright will curse my work forever if I’m not a hawk on copyright infringement issues? Not hardly.
I prefer to see things as they are, not take some hard stance on an issue that has many grey areas (how many hardliners here have probably unknowingly violated copyright?). Burying my head in the sand as to the reality of how copyright infringement can actually launch a career (Trey Parker and Matt Stone had their first South Park short copied and distributed on VHS, which ultimately landed them a show) and how, in the end, it’s not really so bad within certain contexts.
And Randy Ubilious, for all his work has been infringed, probably has way more cash at his disposal than most of us here, so I don’t think he’s suffered from having a work that was infringed…if I could be so successful with my work being infringed upon, I’d take that in a heartbeat.

[Shawn Miller] “Even if you don’t use it lot, please support the cause! Competition in this space is sorely needed, and good, low cost options are a must.”
I completely agree.

[Lance Bachelder] “There is talk of a Lightworks Lifetime Membership – say $999 one-time fee gets you upgrades etc. for life.”
That might be super enticing to people.

[Mark Suszko] ” Saying parasitism is okay, “because the victim didn’t feel it” doesn’t change the leech into a butterfly”
The question isn’t, “Should copyright infringement be considered morally okay.” The question was, “Is copyright infringement really that bad.” I’d put emphasis on the really.

[Mark Suszko] “Piracy on the excuse that the victims can afford the parasitism doesn’t strike me as all that noble an argument.”
Do you have a number on how much money, say, lead architect Randy Ubillos lost due to a pirated copy of Final Cut Pro 2?

[Aindreas Gallagher] “I didn’t even realise 5.5 could go to 5. Wildly attentive I am.”
Yep, like Walter, I have done it before myself. Life saver.
