Apple Releases Pro Apps Updates 2008-004

another update requiring re-authentication?

Was that really a question or was it more of a pissed off comment? I haven't done the update yet so I don't know if you need to re-authenticate or not.

New Pro Apps coming?

Cupertino is hiring video editors and motion graphics artists to test software.
Hopefully the next release of Final Cut Studio will really be a Suite and not JBOA (Just a Bunch Of Apps).

Red cameras are not really pro cameras though, more semi-pro. It's all good though. No support for ArriRAW or Aaton formats, so it wont be making it into my line of work for video edit. Lucky I'm an ADR recordist.

what a laugh. that's exactly the attitude the industry had about fcp a few years ago!

i know of exactly zero shops in my area that are using avid now. we just took a huge loss dumping our adrenaline hd system because we went all fcp and had no need for it.

the red camera, like fcp, is a revolution. if you think it's not "pro," you haven't checked their site recently. with resolutions up to 9k (28k for the largest "brain"), they are well beyond "semi-pro." my friend in the portland, oregon area told me that the rental houses around portland had all their 35mm gear gathering dust, because everything is being shot on red.

panavision, arri and aaton had their chance, but like avid, they rested a bit too long on those laurels while the landscape changed around them
