Re: Adobe is moving to 64-bit only

Hi
Quote from your blog:
...why is Adobe announcing this now, so far in advance of anything? The answer is you my friends. We want to make sure that you're aware of where we're going and that if you have any thoughts about upgrading in the future, that you have the necessary time to get ready for it....

Apple doesn't work that way - for better or worse ;-)

However there has been a recent quotable snippet which may interest people here:
...related to the future suite of Final Cut Studio, we have received additional information.
...the suite is being entirely re-written and its interface will be deeply modified. First, all applications forming the suite will not be indepedent as currently, be integrated inside a single super-application.

The main interface will be using the concept of rooms, where each room represents a step in the post-production workflow associated to each application - similar to the Logic Interface.

Several additional changes have been made on the interface, especially for the Viewer and the Timeline.
One will be able to export project in DVD, 2K, 4K and of course Blu-ray.

The entire suite will be written in 64-bits, a must have to improve performance.

FCS 3.0 will require at least 4 GB of RAM in addition to the memory requirement of the system itself. The new suite should be unveiled during the NAB Show (April 10 to 15th), with a availability data expected for mid-2010.
The price should massively increase, around 2,000 USD.
