Thanks Kevin. I look forward to getting that info when it becomes available.

I really do appreciate you contacting me.

Me and the rest of the folks that are hopeful that perpetual licenses will be available in the future now realize that Adobe is not ready to share that info yet.We certainly do hope we have that option in the future.

And ending on a positive note. Adobes presence at NAB this year was nothing less than spectacular. I heard several LA editors decide to start learning PrP when they saw the CS Next version. And dont even get me started about the AE/C4D relationship. 😀

Todd, as miffed as I may seem in this post, I still have the highest respect for Adobe and its personnel. I dont want to make things any worse then they are now. I just had an encounter here in Vegas where it was clear that folks were not happy with my attempts to find out about the existence of perpetual licenses for CS Next. And also didnt like that I started this thread.

Since discretion is the better part of valor, I will leave it at that. I dont want this to be anything more than a group of concerned customers wanting some information on the software they love using.

Like I said, Petros, I will continue to help folks here at the Cow Premiere and After Effects forums. Just not on the Adobe versions of those forums.

I WILL continue to help on the Cow Forums. I just will curtail that help on the Adobe Forums. At this point I think I am a persona non grata in that neck of the woods.

Well, imagine my surprise today, when I found out some Adobe personnel are not happy with us trying to find out where we stand with perpetual licenses.

The nerve of us as customers wanting to know if we had other choices then cloud rental.

And it seems that maybe the answer we were given yesterday might not be the correct one.

Its a shame that such innocent desire to know where we stand is met with such antipathy. Especially since I have been such a vocal enthusiast volunteering my time to help folks having trouble on the forums and beta testing the software.

I am shocked and disappointed that the need to know seems to present such a threat.

Ive stated my piece and will not pursue this anymore. I also will curtail volunteering to help folks in the Adobe forums for the time being.

I suggest if you have concerns, you express them. Remember, Adobe listens.

After seeing AE/C4D performing at NAB, I decided to follow your advice.

I got a free demo of Studio and am going thru great free tutorials from Digital Tutors. The time learning Blender was a good refresher for me since I haven’t done 3D for a while. They both share certain basic tenets so that is helpful.

I still see a use for Element 3D (2.0 has shadows)in projects where ray tracing attributes are not necessary.
