[moody glasgow] “When AVID dropped out there was a lot more news and info about it.”
That’s because AVID leaked its news through the COW and gave us an exclusive interview with Graham Sharp, the division head who spear-headed the decision. We ran it as a lead story in our newsletter and that quickly spread it like wildfire.
Apple sneaked it in quietly by giving its interview to TV Technology and its audience is largely the guys at NAB that frequent the satellite uplink trucks and switchers in the north hall. These guys hardly ever visit the south hall as they don’t care about what’s there.
TV Technology’s website gets so little traffic at its website that you could fire a cannon in most areas of the site and never hit a soul. By comparison, the COW just passed the 3/4 of a million “totally unique visitor” mark, according to Google Analytics.
That’s one reason…

[lyle Pascoe] ”
I am becoming more and more unhappy with the quality of product that Apple and adobe are releasing without proper beta testing.”Adobe is making HUGE public beta programs — such as the AdobeLabs beta programs, etc. Apple does their betas in secret with a handful or less. I will guarantee you that they were quite aware that QT 7.4 did NOT work for FCP users, let alone Adobe customers.
Apple does not tell Adobe what it is doing. (In this case, it seems they didn’t even tell the FCP team.)
Two guesses where the problem lies???

Yes, and I wish I had 48 hours in a day and two more coders just to do all the things that we have on the plate right now. Oh, and a million dollars or so to throw at the issues.
Sorry to be bitchie but I get that way when people won’t bother to look at the questions that are already on the screen (that come up with a default loading of the threads) and do a little digging, instead of adding the same one again and again.
Sorry, I gotta go have some coffee. Wait, I gave up coffee the other day and am having serious caffeine withdrawals.
Damn, that cup of coffee smells good, Kathlyn. Uh, Kathlyn, I think UPS is at the door — wanna go check and see? Oh, don’t carry your coffee cup with you, they may have some packages that you will have to carry. You didn’t hear them? I swear that I just heard the truck in the driveway. What do you mean the driveway’s empty? I think they just pulled around on the grass and are trying the side door for some reason. Don’t you wanna go check? Wait. Put down that coffee cup and leave it here. If they drove on the grass, you’ll need your hands free to push that damned truck off the grass — or give them hand gestures, or something.
Anyone have a Red Bull or one of them Monster drinks? Maybe a Rock Star?

[David Roth Weiss] “Seems like a huge right-wing conspiracy to me…”
Yes, it may seem a vast right-wing conspiracy but truth be told, we started by placing everyone conservative then liberal, every other one — or was it liberal then conservative? Then we sprinkled in a few centrists, here and there just for laughs.
In the end though, I think we scrapped it all for a general put the leftists to the left and the arch conservatives to the right, kinda thingie.
Kinda pretty actually, would you agree?
We found it remarkable that when we did that, a great mystery appeared in that suddenly all the names were in alphabetical order.
Spooky.

Yes, for the hours involved, the price does seem low. There are many back threads that explore many great ideas and techniques, you would be well served to explore some of them.
As I said, this is a common question here and so you can even find great ideas just by going back over the last few months and looking at the questions and answers on the board.
I am not trying to be cold or callus with you, it is just that this same question keeps coming up over and over on this board and if people don’t do a little bit of preemptive digging here on their own, this forum and its leaders will begin excusing themselves from the discussions here. ;o)

I would recommend using the search engine and look for the word “rates” and start there. There is tons on this subject already in previous threads. Then, after having done that, ask more specific questions. So far, your questions are pretty general and there is a lot of feedback already in this forum that you can draw upon.

[Sarah Hemp] “But how I would love a miracle reason that I just MUST switch to a Mac!”
I am not sure such a reason exists but I can give you a reason that it would be a good thing to use what they have: that is that jobs are hard to find nowadays and if you appear uncooperative, they will likely replace you before they replace their trusted hardware.
None of this stuff is perfect and as Dave LaRonde just said, things aren’t all that different on the Apple side of the line — well, except for the better marketing that he alludes to.

[Kevin Camp] “just tell him you’ll need some training dvds, and ask him where to purchase them.”
And don’t forget to remind him that when the heat’s on, wax runs…

[Ralph Hajik] “Also, don’t forget to meet the great staff from Creative Cow for making this great forum possible.”
Hi Ralph,
Thank you for the kind words but for the first time in many years, we have no plans to attend NAB. We may show up to walk the show floor for a day or two but we won’t have a booth or any real presence at the show.
Best regards,
