defiantely felt the same way. Also thought having the execs on there was kinda awkward. They looked like prompter readers as well.
Either way, looks like a great update. Not saying its an end all be all of NLE’s now but it seems like they get it that people want familiarlarity in a program theyve come to grow and love, and that things dont need to change so drastically going into the next generation.

looks great, lets hope its not ridden with bugs, etc. My only gripe is it needs Lion. Not really feeling that as of right now.
Also i wish you could still use 32bit plugins within it. I dont want to upgade Magic Bullit just cause i like the flicker plugin and i still use version 1.2. wich works great with MC 5.5.
Logic 9 lets you use 64 and 32 bit plug ins so i know its possible.

ive only done basic stuff with AD but im guessing youd want to transcode all those p2 media, to a native Avid format, then trying to do the transfer with AD. Not sure that AD is supposed to be supported with AMA material.

This is cool, i actually wrote off the MacPro’s as soon as the 27inch i7 imac came out with thunderbolt. The only reason i see for the mac pros was to use capture cards but with thunderbolt theres not need, and the quad i7 imacs are screaming fast.
Faster than the 8 core MacPro im typing this on.

i dont think so. Best bet would be to make an ew project at the correct frame rate, and then open the bins from the other projects into thhe new one.

The switch was a no brainer for me. Im still cleaning up a few straggling projects in FCP 7 but since at my day job, its been all avid from the get go the decision was pretty easy. I already knew it, and I know i can still get freelance work with it. The only struggle i had was jumping to version 4 to 5.5 but once i changed a few settings i was cruising
When a client asks for PPRO, then ill pick it up. Ive always been up to date with the adobe suites so it will cost nothing to set up, just a couple days i imagine to get comfy with the shortcuts.
Out of curiosity, What is PPRO missing for you Shane thats in your opinion is keeping it out of Hollywood bays? I only ask, cause ive never come across it in LA and on paper its feature sets seems inline with FCP7. Up until know i thought it was based solely on reputation.

i think not, the only innovation they made to me which is obvious is the keywording, which i think is a better way to subclip, essentially its the same thing but then they contradict themselves by not being able to save your in and outs if you go to a different window.
Everyone will say, but what about the background rendering ? well imo its lame because you still have to wait for it to finish and in fact its not doing anything in thr background at all.
A far as the magnetic timeline, i feel its counter intuitive to the whole scope of editing. Its really just a mess and i cn edit in it, i just dont want to.
It seems like every cool thing they introduced is married to some lame way of deterring you to use it. Fr example the scopes. There awesome, full color, real time, but why cant i open them in a new window, why do i have to make a choice wether to either have my record monitor so small in order to share the space that color corrections are barely visible or have the scopes so small i cant even see the fine points?
We all asked for impovements but they ignored so much and decided to do there own thing anyways, which i think is gonna continue to the future. They dont care.
Avid and Adobe are and have been listening to see what WE really want, and albeit slowly, there are responding and you cant ignore the strides these companies have made to build upon thee NLE legacy, not completely change it.
The thing that irks me the most is that everyone is making excuses, saying they had to change it to accommodate the new 64 bit architecture. Well i call bullshit. The Logic team was able to implement w/o changing a damn thing. In fact you wouldnt notice it unless you read the readme with the fix’s and changes. I think they could of kept everything exactly the same and just made it 64 bit, added background (even tho its not background) etc etc wtihout doing anything to the look and feel of the program. We all know that this was possible. They chose to ignore us.
