Robert Flaherty’s Nanook was. 🙂

“D.A. Pennebaker offers another interpretation of the Nanook fire, suggesting that Flaherty did not like the first version of the film and destroyed it himself, then made up the story of the fire so that the sponsors would still put up more money.”

Have a great idea/script and any delivery problems can be solved, including starting again – (g)…

In which alternative universe does Apple sit quietly in a corner whilst Adobe trumpets their new Mac-compatible wares up to the rafters?

Hi
Why has Apple announced this at this time, 3 days before the NAB keynote?
To get the negative out the way, so they can speak positively?

But a new 64-bit FCS will need a 64-bit OS, so that will have to wait till NAB 2008 soonest 🙁
And its been explained that this is not a trivial rewrite, to keep the application speed up in a 64-bit CPU-space.

So do we get a free FCP 5.5 instead on Sunday?
That would be positve. That would reward us all for paying for the UB 5.1 upgrade – without it we couldn’t benefit from a semi-major upgrade.

Or maybe they do announce a pay-for version 6.
Will that effectively reward the non-UB old v5.0 users – they pay for this just the once but we with the 5.1 upgrade will have paid twice…

My 2p thought is that the longer the major FCP upgrade is in coming, the more likely the development team will have undertaken the major rewrite that is in everyones best interests.
And taking the suite 64-bit is as good an excuse for that ground-up revision as any.

Judge from the fact that Apple haven’t sorted Logic Pro out yet, five years on from the acquisition of eMagic.

So another negative that I expect they want us to get out of the way before Sunday is that all good things only come to those who wait – patiently 😉

Hi
Since I haven’t received a reply from my emails to you about this I’ll ask here.

Every time I try to alter my User Profile and change my email address your automaton sends my password out willy nilly to my old email address, which I no longer have control over.

I can’t stop your automaton doing this – I’m given no way of controlling this.

The reason I’m blocked is that your ‘site-blocking’ automaton blocked a post in the past without telling me why. So in trouble-shooting this blockage I created a temporary user ID, using the same email address of course.

Your systems haven’t been able to cope with this, and continues to broadcast my password.

Sorry for shouting in the title – as the email-generator in your automaton doesn’t produce effective communication I assumed that like Cowdog, your identity too was that of a robot.

I want to delete the second temporary ID, and update my current profile.
I use Safari on a Mac.
Thank you.

Hi
Steve Mullen has written about this camera:
“In the second part of this camcorder preview, coming in two weeks, I will discuss some of the editing issues associated with the JVC HD Everio…”
but I can’t find if its been published yet.

[Dean Steinmann] “I officially incorporated in December 1999 and have never looked back. The only reason I was able to be in this business was because of Apple’s efforts to bring this technology to the table.”
Hi
Christmas Eve 1999 was the day that I did a playout to tape of a 30min edit on my trusty Radius VideoVision Telecast system (in a 8100 Power Mac), switched it off, and after the holiday never again powered it up, switching to FW DV.
That system, starting off as a VideoVision Studio, had been bought in December 1993, with Premiere 3.1.3.
It did almost-DV quality MJ-PEG online to UVW Beta from day one 🙂
So for me FCP was very late to the table, and I didn’t move over until v2 because of Premiere 6.5’s buginess…

Hi
You’d need the keywords Aldus or CoSA as well as Hitchcock to get the hits.
Presumably killed off when Adobe bought out Aldus.
