Re: Should be an interesting April for Apple Color

Honestly, what keeps me in the FCS boat is Color. Even though now you can buy Da Vinci for 995, the hardware needed to run it properly still makes Color the best color grading solution when it comes to price/benefit. It's either that or Color Finesse which is a toy when compared to Color. If Media Composer's color grading tool could even come close to Color, considering the state of FCS at this point, I would bid goodbye to Apple and Switch to Avid. But MC color grading can't really touch Color.
Editing wise I think FCP lost the edge a while ago. What was flexible, cutting edge and progressive became outdated, stalled and abandoned.

Regarding Adobe, they really have nothing I want. I don't care how tightly integrated they are. Premiere is a joke and After Effects is a mo-graph tool which people insist in compositing with. The only thing they got for me is Photoshop. So I don't even think about Adobe.
Now that Shake is dead and all the other real compositing tools run also on the PC (Nuke and Fusion) and FCS sucking as it is, Color is the thread I'm hanging from in the apple platform.

Let's see what Apple does at NAB.
