Re: CS6 is released - so what now?

[Bill Davis] "I remain convinced Apple's approach is designed to better meet the needs those who will pursue editing as a personal craft at every level including creating professional business content"

Bill, Thanks. I would agree with this as well. Apple clearly decided there was no point in simply doing another application with the exact same features and processes as their competitors. We can at least be thankful that it was Apple who did this, as they are the only ones who could afford to take the risk. If anything, it's certainly livened up the crowd ;-)

And frankly they aren't the only ones rethinking things. For example, the metadata features built into FCP X are basically the same as what Adobe did in Prelude, except that Adobe decided to do it as a separate application. There is an argument to be made that Prelude is to Premiere Pro as iMovie is to FCP X. I don't mean that as a slam at all. Rather, that iMovie in fact *could* function as an simple producer-reporter-client-assistant tool as the front end to FCP X. Not sure it actually works that way, but a business case could be made for this.
