Re: CS6 is released - so what now?

[David Lawrence] "For anyone thinking about changing platforms, this basic editorial interaction design is a very big deal. I think this why you hear folks compare PP6 to the mythical Final Cut Pro 8.

I agree the workflow as a whole has to be factored in and in that regard it's very different. But actual cutting feels very much the same."

David,

If your focus needs to be on something that "cuts similarly" to Legacy, then I truly hope you've made a good choice.

Having just been through what turned out to be a more complex than I ever imagined transition to X from Legacy - with so much fundamental stuff to unlearn and re-learn - looking back, the point doesn't appear to me to be the difficulty of the transition, but whether or not I was going to be happy with where I ended up.

Many here know I am very happy with X, and that many others saw difficulties and things they didn't like or obstacles that they felt were insurmountable - and decided to take a different route. That's life. But being forced to leave the place you're in usually means you'll end up in a place that's either better, or worse.

I hope your path leads to something really good for you.
