Hi,
It's not really about how hard it is, but about our development schedule. We simply don't have as many people asking for 24 fps PAL as we do for other features, so we order our development to get the most important things done first.
We also need to keep stability, as there has been a lot of new features thrown out from other companies, and things just don't work. We don't want to do this.
When I was in post, there was there things I noticed manufacturers used to say.
1) No one else is having that problem.
2) The next software revision will fix it.
3) Perhaps you don't know how to use it.
This was sometimes true, but there is also a lot of companies that just throw out features without caring that things even work. Everyone is too focused on just releasing anything.
So we don't want to do this, and we will keep adding features in a controlled way, so we keep stability, and peoples systems don's suffer. It just means we need to be careful about what feature we add, and when before we tell people we are going to do it.
We will get to it when we can, but stability first!
Regards,
Grant Petty.
