Is it less complexity or simply “powerful elegance”?

[andy patterson] “Why is it impressive if FCPX does it but Premiere Pro needs a total rewrite of the code when it does the exact same thing? “
Because you are on an FCPX forum? Just a wild guess. 😉

[Mathieu Ghekiere] “there is a serious bug in Premiere where if you delete some media cache or something (I don’t use Premiere myself), it also deletes media assets. “
In the first link Adobe support told the user that “that was not possible”. Nice.
I love this line from the Adobe support link: “However, incorrect usage of this feature has the potential for unintentional file deletion.”
They should have put quotation marks around the word “feature”. But at least there seems to be a fix with yet another upgrade.

[Steve Connor] “For me the biggest disruptors in the industry are Netflix and Amazon and they have VERY high production quality in their output”
Can there be such a thing as too MUCH content? The amount of content is now overwhelming to the point where (in my opinion) a lot of it is not very good and we are missing good stuff because it’s “lost in the sauce” of web content. I rarely have the patience to find and then sit and watch a series online or over the air. What’s more interesting is that when we do watch “regular” TV, the commercial breaks are so much more annoying than they ever were.
After cutting the cord years ago, I have now started reducing my online content footprint as well. Sling was the first to go with Netflix being examined next. Amazon stays because of my Prime account. Hulu is gone and HBO never was. At our household (kids are grown and gone) the actual TV rarely gets turned on anymore (until football season) I have an antennae on the roof for “local” stations (local for us is 40 miles straight line to the transmit point) and that is just for more localized weather information.
Just a muse on a rainy cold morning in Virginia. Thoughts?

[Thomas Mathai] “You can’t use Resolve with anything but their hardware”
Is this accurate?
[Thomas Mathai] ” $50 a month for like 20 applications.”
I would pay $25 for the four I really want. I don’t want 16 extra apps I won’t use.

Can you define what “manually altered” would be?
[Noah Kadner] “or migrated with library XML.”
So export XML with 10.2.3 and imported into 10.3.3?

[andy patterson] “Did I say Adobe wants revenue loss?”
In essence, you did. Maybe not “want” but your idea will do the same. No company “wants” a revenue decrease unless it is offset by a greater expense decrease. By saying cut your prices by 50% +, you certainly are talking about a revenue loss. No way around it unless you see a vast increase in sales volume at the lower cost (or slash expenses, a la Avid).
[andy patterson] “If DR and Fusion start to increase the user base by 15% each month and the PP and AE user base decreases by 12% each month”
This is a bit of “the sky is falling”. Resolve has a long way to go to be accepted as an editing platform and they have to overcome entrenched user-bases from Apple, Avid and Adobe. Plus Adobe is playing at the enterprise level and that sector will simply not turn on a dime to change products. Adobe has time to craft a counter-strategy.
What I would find interesting is if Adobe takes a “Sling TV Model” where they can offer the 5 core products that most folks use (PS, AE, Pr, IL and Aud for example) for let’s say $25 a month and then allow you to buy other CC products a la carte. Could they sustain their current revenue?
[andy patterson] “You have heard about competition haven’t you? “
uh, yeah. But thanks for reminding me.
