Thanks for explaining, Chris. I agree with you that calling this service “Cloud” is confusing if the apps still reside in our computers. Maybe the Adobe Mad Men should have called it “Creative Subscription.”

Regardless, I’m considering either CS6 or Smoke 2013 for my studio workstation. I still use FCP legacy on a 1st gen MacPro and rely heavily on Shake since 99% of my work is composited. One idea is to migrate to CS6 this year and see if Autodesk reduces the price of Smoke even more in a year or two.

But, like many here, I’m waiting to see if Apple releases a new MacPro/iMacPro/MacMiniPro/etc. first before I choose my next NLE.

Will the Cloud video apps be updated frequently within the subscription year? What if those Cloud upgrades have bugs and are incompatible with my setup? Would I be forced to use the upgraded versions? I’m usually pretty cautious about upgrades and tend to wait until more courageous types sniff out the bugs. Sometimes I don’t upgrade and stay put.

What level of dsl connectivity is required for a stutter-free Cloud access?

Will there be an educational discount for Creative Cloud? I ask because I work at a university.

Thanks!
