Left with nothing to buy? What a conundrum! And let us not forget that Avid’s threat to abandon the Mac platform was the birth of FCP. And I don’t expect “eternal life.” But I do expect companies that sell me something to follow through on that thing. Apple has not. They are making, quite literally, hundreds of millions of dollars off my back. And that in the words of Don Corleone “is something I do not forgive.

Ten or so years ago Autodesk (Discrete) set afloat a raft of very loyal customers. Anyone who dealt with them has not now nor will they ever forgive that company. Just under a year ago Apple abandoned a huge number of loyal customers. No one who invested their livelihood is going to forgive them either. I was an early adopter of FCP 1.0 and it became my suite of choice. I stuck with it for 13 years. And they screwed me.
Can anyone tell me why I should listen to another syllable of what Apple has to say?

I was the only one in the theater who laughed like a maniac at that shot. Other people were not amused.

[Chris Harlan] “I’m curious what you think of the Symphony cross-grade in the light of this.”
I’m also curious about this. I know a comparison can’t truly be made until a hands opportunity with Smoke i available but if anyone out there has really dug into the features (I just haven’t had the time yet and won’t for the foreseeable future) and also knows Symphony your thoughts would be appreciated. Especially as I suspect the Symphony crossgrade will be gone before Smoke 2013 is released.

There is no such thing as superfast organization. It does not exist. Organization is work. Any one who tells you differently is well, let’s just say, shading the truth.

I guess the only question left is will it be purchased. At the price point they appear to be heading for I’m guessing no. These are after all the folks that took Dvision and made it into Edit. And then -shall we say – uh, incommoded a fair number of editors. So they clearly have a great deal of good will out there.

If this is supposed to be the forum that is looking forward and hoping to guide us poor, clueless folks in to the future then it is not working. Everywhere I go someone is whispering Smoke in my ear. It’s not that I am even looking for specifics. I am just looking for a modicum of interest in the subject. Anybody?
