[Nick Griffin] “Speaking of which, ever take the time to read any of Chuck Lorre’s vanity plates? Some are fall down funny.”
My wife bought the book. They are simply hilarious.

Sounds like you used a Mac friendly codec that’s not on your PC. Most likely Apple ProRes. There are ProRes decoders available for PC.

[Myles Conti] “t’s an issue if you’ve updated to 10.9.3 – there’s a number of people out there in a world of edit pain at the moment – myself included”
Except that he’s seeing the same issue on a 2013 iMac as noted in his post. So this is not the bug that’s hampering the Mac Pro apparently.

[Esben Holm] ” Both Aple, AMD and Adobe has a responsibility here. Get your smartest heads together and bring us down in one piece.
“This is all on Apple. They develop and release the OS regardless of anyone else’s needs. Main reason I moved away from an all Apple ecosystem.

[Jason Jenkins] “Any easy way to accept a credit card, besides PayPal? I have a client that apparently must pay me with a credit card.”
You can accept credit cards through PayPal. That’s how we do it at our shop. We used to have a merchant account but the fees were getting stupid. Credit Card payments through PayPal are easy because there are no yearly fees, just the fees on the actual transactions.

[Blake Porter] “and are there PC vs Mac considerations?”
Not overly. Adobe apps work well on both. BMD and AJA products work well on both. Just go with the OS / Machine of your choice.

[Steve Brame] “I was at the SuperMeet when FCPX was introduced. I led several disconcerted FCP users over to the Adobe booth and introduced them to the Karls and others, who jumped right in to make them feel at home. That was an exiting time. No one could believe, or understand why Apple would do what they had just done. I’m now starting to have those exact feelings about Adobe.”
They still do that today quite honestly, I was seeing that this past April at NAB and evening events.
Adobe support has been good for us. Certainly not along the lines of AJA but then they are in a league of their own. Of course I came from 11 years on FCP where there was zero pro support for users and we had to use the Cow for all our support.
Now between the Cow, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Adobe’s own forums and colleagues, we generally get the help we need.
The loss of the Cloud not allowing people to access the log-in for a day was inexcusable and Adobe has to come up with a fail safe plan to address that. coming up with the Trial Mode workaround after 24 hours was really not acceptable either but at least it got people working again. I’m hopeful they are working on something that will allow for local log-in in the event of another server outage.

[Shane Ross] “There are PLENTY of reasons to use other tools…it all depends on your needs”
This is probably the best and hardest time to be an editor because we have SO MANY choices today. Really can’t go wrong with any of them.

About 2 years into our switch. Better than ever, company is listening to our needs. I see no reason to leave the platform at this time.
