Re: The Fog Thickens

Maybe the folks from Monsters, Social Network, Hugo, Act of Valor and Girl with the Dragon Tattoo were all unavailable?

But nine of these shows was "edited" in Premiere, it was just used in the workflow - big difference.

I will say at the Supermeet last night there was a LOT of enthusiasm for both Smoke and Premiere. Sad that when the Adobe guy showed that now when you drop a clip on a new sequence it shows a dialog box almost exactly like FCP7 asking if you want to conform the seq to the media etc. and the crowd went nuts like this was new - kinda reminded of an old Apple NAB presentation. I didn't stick around for the FCPX presentation so no idea what kind of reaction it got.

While Macs and Thunderbolt are big talk at NAB, not much FCPX talk. It's here and there at some booths but nothing like the presence legacy used to
have. Seems like the biggest loser this year is Avid - Smoke just completely killed the Symphony announcement. Apple is the big winner without even being here - with Smoke, OpenCL in CS6, Thunderbolt and FCPX no one I'm talking to is switching platforms because they stopped using legacy FCP.
