[Shane Ross] “And hey, look at that…a price increase. (at bottom)”
…and anyone who could not see this coming, speak up. Bueller? Bueller?
Gotta fund the development of Muse, Character Animator and Dreamweaver somehow! 😉

[Oliver Peters] “Biggest change is multiple open projects”
Is this the same as having multiple Libraries own?

Probably best to wait a bit…..

The attitude and body language of the panel is interesting. None of them seemed to want to be there.

[Oliver Peters] ” The point being that AE is at least 50% of their editorial workflow.”
Ah, so your comment is about this one client, not the market in general.
I usually see AE getting approved “plates”, if you will, to work on and send over to wherever the piece is being finished. From my experience, AE is certainly not a good editor, in the traditional sense, and why would Adobe push it to be one?

[Oliver Peters] “It’s part of a larger workflow pipeline and in more cases than not, the driver is After Effects and not the NLE. “
Wouldn’t you say that the story is created in the NLE and the “Icing on the cake” is AE OR Motion? How does AE drive the workflow? How do you create “story” with AE? Story is the driver, not the effect software. My experience is that the story is created in the NLE and handed over to AE for effects and “bling”.

I am ok with they way events, keywords and rankings work in FCPX right now. What I would love to see is for me to use folders to organize projects and events. For example, I have been working on a doc this past summer and will be into the spring. The producer likes a new, dated cut for him after each edit session. Lots of projects. We have almost 20 interviews so far that I make a time-code burn for each. Lots of projects. I would love to be able to make a folder called “Old Cuts” and a sub-folder called “TC Burns” and move cuts to appropriate folders.
Same with events. With another client from FL, we did a series of spots which were first “rippo’s” then all stock and then on to shot footage that eventually aired in markets all over the country. I would love to move all the events from the rippo and stock stage into one folder called “Old Footage” and one folder for events that hold the approved generic versions.
I think it was explained to me how this could not happen, but I still pine for it. Perhaps I need to move more toward keyword collections which can then be grouped in folders. Too late for this project however.

[Steve Connor] “Or perhaps Apple are like me and don’t care in the slightest whether the tiny fraction of Editors who are “Hollywood A Listers” or “key influencers” use it.”
Exactly. Let Adobe fight Apple over that niche! 😉
