[Bret Williams] “Hmmm, now it suddenly is giving dropped frames. (orange dot thing) Does it cache frames as you play them like After Effects?”

Yes it does. And those are some of the files you deleted in the Media Cache folder.

Dont worry about the timeline colors. They are not the same as in FCP.

I find the Drop Frame indicator you can turn on in CS6 is the best guide to go by when judging performance.

Here is what CUDA does.

David Lawrence-
Software subscriptions make sense for a lot of situations. But there are also plenty of situations where they are completely inappropriate. As long as we all have a choice, everyone wins.

Ryan Holmes-
I like the Cloud as an option, just not as the only option. I am one who tends to upgrade as they come out with new releases, but I realize that that model doesn’t work for everybody. Some people upgrade every other version or every third version. I tend to want the new features but I realize there’s a good portion of the market that either doesn’t need it, can’t afford it, or doesn’t have the system to take advantage of it so there isn’t much point for them.

I think you guys have hit upon the essence of how many of us feel. Choice is important. I cant really understand the hostility expressed by naysayers and fan boys when folks express the desire for choice on how we purchase Adobe software. Regardless I am proud that folks have stepped forward to let Adobe know what they want before decisions have been made and the products released.

I have always appreciated how well they listen to us as editors. Now we will see how well they listen to us as customers.

David, just a quick aside. It must have been quite an experience working at Lucasfilm when you did.

Well you can create a wiggle expression for the movement.

And using fractal noise that is masked might just do it.

Editing to music (as a guitarist) is one of my greatest pleasures as well.

Yes, I got a freebee for visiting their booth (light fx) and won another at the Media Motion Ball (flash fx). Add those to the 2 I already own (Film FX and Animated mattes). Real good creative tools.
