I agree – total flux right now – and though all the choices are much cheaper than my first NAB back in 99, it seemed like there were a lot more choices back then?
I still think there’s room for a true “king of NLE’s”, seems like Adobe and Avid are the only ones who care about the crown though…

Stop by AJA and say hello Chris – enjoyed meeting you last year – I’ll be in the booth all day Mon/Tues. I’ll probably be on a FCPX pod lol!
Have fun!

This was exactly my point – thai you! Of course I exaggerated – there’s always those who like unconventional ways of doing things – I’m a prime example as a long-time Sony Vegas user and beta tester.
But that’s also part of the point – I’ve given, and still give, FCPX a ton of my time and use it on certain jobs and tasks, but it’s not even close to being as good as Sony Vegas in many areas. My point is, is FCPX was from say, Pinnacle, which has a somewhat cool consumer NLE by the way, would this forum even exist – I say no.

Feel pretty much the same – though I still use FCPX here and there for certain things – like burning Blu-rays for screeners etc.
Premiere CC is just a better, much more thought out and of course conventional NLE. FCPX seems geared toward the Apple fanboys who will use it ahead of any other NLE regardless of its features etc because it’s from Apple – so it must be better right?
I’m 100% certain that not ONE SINGLE FCPX user on Planet Earth would be using it if FCP7 had become 8 and FCPX was from some other company.

I agree – this is really the first big coup for Premiere… ever and may have even greater effect than the Murch Cold Mountain announcement – although those were the days when Apple did a lot of advertising for pro apps and I remember all those beautiful full page ads in Post etc.
But Fincher carries even more weight than Murch so this could cause a tidal wave for sure. I wonder if they’re on Mac or PC? I assume Mac?

Not sure about the $600 in advance thing – Adobe did a fairly substantial feature update with 7.2 which would never have happened with the old model. Now with DCP ability added just kicking out one DCP will save me enough to pay for 2 years of CC.

Personally I think using 5DtoRGB gives you a better master to color etc than keeping files native. Yes I edit the ProRes HQ and 4444 files and then render a master of my finished show at the highest quality ProRes 444 – from that master I can create any type of deliverable – web, broadcast, Blu-ray etc.
You can also output your deliverables directly from your sequence without rendering a master – every show is a bit different in its workflow depending on the intended delivery…
