Profoundly! Yeah, maybe. It is true, a person can't resist the choco bars being handed out around now.

[Aindreas Gallagher] "it does feel like Adobe are stepping up in a particularly serious way - and with clear meaning and intent. Thank God frankly.
that adobe guy who was demoing at Nab on fresh DV- he was making camera eye contact as often as he could when he was outlining the scale of change in the app. right down to the nitty gritty, like footage in use indicators in the bin, scrubbing IO set clip methodology in the bin etc.
nevermind the new trim architecture.
You have to feel Adobe are palpably serious here. And the only way they make money is if we buy the thing."

Adobe's communication is commendable. There is no joking about that. It is quite obvious they are listening intently. Can't wait to see what they do with it.

My fear with any company is that they try and go to FCP7 like. FCP had some great strengths, but at the same time, it could have been much better and needed major improvements. I would hope that any company moves forward in a confident direction. Not every NLE has to be like FCP7, and it shouldn't be.

As has always been said, the best NLE would be a mixture of all of them.
