what an excellent podcast!
its good to hear the initial thoughts from two seasoned pro editors who have spent a little time trying to find ways to use the new product in ways that could be expected in pro video work.
I have been pretty much ignoring all the hype and decided early on not to purchase until its been out a while. I am so glad i chose that path!
Now i'm starting to get a little concerned - if Apple can release this new software with such obvious disregard for those who use their software to make a living, then i won't be picking apples and making cider, i'm gonna have to leave them in the corner and watch it all turn to vinegar!
So now, i find myself browsing the websites of Avid, Autodesk and Adobe, seeing whats compatible with the kit i have and what it might cost once i need to update.
Thanks Richard and Walter - as a one-man band who does need to collaborate with studios in other countries, let alone the next room! your comments have helped illuminate the paths i need to retread, and sadly, it seems apples isn't one of them.
I now have worries about the entire future of creative computing using MacPro towers! What future for them if they design the "pro" editing software to run on iMacs?
Will i be seen as foolish to invest in edit software that is mac based only to find they can those too?
good listening - thanks again guys.
