[Bernhard Grininger] “with tracking data stored into the media management…”
What would you do with that data?

[Kevin Monahan] “LIke CS6, there’s alignment features in the Titler, not for clips in the Program Monitor. Sorry. Create a feature request here: https://www.adobe.com/go/wish“
Thanks Kevin,
I will file a request.

LOL”
Yeah, definitely a chuckle worthy moment. 🙂

[Lance Bachelder] “What’s super enticing to me is the software itself – after seeing the demo at NAB on PC and limited Mac demo there are features that make total sense that don’t exist in ANY other NLE without using plug-ins, fx or 3rd party adds.”
All of that, and it already has a proven track record for feature work… so there isn’t a question mark about it’s ability to fit into a professional workflow. I’ve been playing around with it for about a year now, and it feels pretty damn solid. Definitely a must have IMO. Even if you don’t use it lot, please support the cause! Competition in this space is sorely needed, and good, low cost options are a must.

[Jeremy Garchow] “[Chris Harlan] “Sadly, I think you’re right, and that is what is actually bugging me about this whole thing. I’m okay with the model for Adobe–I’d prefer the choice be there, but I’m okay with it–but I don’t like the notion of everything going this way. It might be unavoidable, but there it is.”
Isn’t part of this because that the server technology is actually available and cheap enough to operate and these relatively massive scales?
Jeremy”
Absolutely. IMO, the real winners in this brave new world of connected, service oriented architectures are (in no particular order); Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Intel and HP. 🙂

[Mark Suszko] “What I see here is an opportunity for Apple to make some inroads on Adobe by capitalizing on the turmoil, hurt feelings, resentment and suspicion of the Adobe users…”
Maybe for FCPX… maybe, but what about the rest of the suite? Seriously, how many creative professionals don’t depend on at least one Adobe application? Adobe seems hard to escape at the moment.
[Mark Suszko] “Though I don’t really expect Apple to do this. More like they’re slapping their foreheads and saying “We should have done that before Adobe!””
lol – I think a few companies are watching this with a lot of interest. I hope I’m wrong… but I think SAS is the way of the future. I think only smaller, open source developers will continue to offer perpetual licensing of software. I hope I’m wrong about that.

[Gary Huff] “This is what I was referencing.”
Unfortunately, this is what execs (and others about to face the media) are (sometimes) coached to do. Repeat the the talking points… do not deviate. Sometimes these folks are good at repeating the same points in different ways so it looks like they’re giving different answers… sometimes they’re not so good at it. See results below. So yes, Bill is most likely right. This er… performance, could have been met with a high five from a corporate communications type.

[Andrew Kimery] “There is also Pixelmator if you are looking for a possible low-cost Photoshop alternative. It is Mac only though.”
And only works with 8 bit files right now. 🙁

[Gary Huff] “[Shawn Miller] “I think it would be good if Apple provided a serious challenger to AE”
Well, they’ve had Motion for a long-ass time already and haven’t yet, so I wouldn’t hold my breath.”
Yeah, I think it’s more of a wish on my part. I’ve been waiting for someone to replace Combustion as a real competitor to AE for a long time. But I suspect you’re right, Apple probably isn’t interested in competing with AE in a meaningful way… otherwise they probably wouldn’t have killed Shake (dumbest move ever).
