Recruiting for OnLocation CS5 beta testing and customer visits

Hi All,

We will be kicking off pre-release testing for OnLocation CS5 pretty soon and are eager to increase the ranks of our beta testers. As users of this program, you have a vested interest in the feature set, workflow, and stability. There's no better way to have a hand in helping us improve OnLocation.

Come to think of it, there is one better way: sign up for a customer visit, where two or three guys from our development team will come observe for a day on the set while you're using OL. We're especially interested if CS4's Take-Recording Mode* is central to your workflow. Also, proximity to Sacramento, CA is a plus just on account of budget--the core of our team is in Folsom.

Please drop me a line at mapes@adobe.com if you're game for either avenue of involvement. Please include the name of your company/organization as well as your real name.

If beta testing or a customer visit isn't in the cards for you, we still want to know what you think about CS4 (pain points you're encountering, changes that you like, DV Rack/OL CS3 features that were removed & you really miss, etc.) and what enhancements & new features you'd like to see in CS5. Feel free to post such input in this thread or on Adobe's forums or in an email directly to me.

Thanks,
Mark Mapes

*if you have CS4 and don't know about the Take-Recording Mode, go check it out in the help system. For my money, it's the coolest new feature in OL CS4.
