Rieni, It's not their fault, these people grew up within the MAC environment, they go to art school, communication deparment at their colleges, graduation with communication type of degree, they are exposed to MACs and FCPs, so, it's not them who are stupid, but the smart marketing that APPLE did with it. (not to mention, it's easier to promote a hardware/software bundle when you are the sole product manufacturer)
Now, it's also not their fault that celebrity filmmakers are using FCP in major Hollywood films, which influences their perception, pick up a film magazine, you would once in a while see a filmmaker, known one, promoting FCP... I can't ask Adobe to do more promotion, because that's not what it would help downplay the buzz/hype of FCP, but it's the users, like us, who need to constantly promoting Premiere to it's greatest, as it's the GOD of all Editing software (ok, we know it's the editor) :) In fact, my fear is simple: if every new generation of kids coming out being influenced by Mac and FCP, that means those who also uses Premiere eventually will switch over to Mac as well (some does already, many are selling their cheap PC to start thinking of Mac), the sale or uses for Premiere will slowly diminished, which eventually, Premiere will become what Adobe does with Pagemaker, slowly losing interest (not enough sell to continue supporting it), and eventually, Premiere Pro will cease to exist... Adobe is in the business to sell their software, so they really don't care the platform the user is working on (Photoshop, Acrobat, InDesign, After Effects, etc are all for both machines) and they are continuing selling/promoting what would mostly bring the mass increase of profit (Macromedia, etc)... Now, if all the new kids who slowly getting out of school first getting a pirated copy of Premiere then eventually switch over to Mac (which is already something going on now), Adobe will eventually notice there isn't enough justification to spend that many man hours to innovate, to support, to promote Premiere, it will slowly ignore it...) And it's up to us, the users of all kind, promoting Premiere, stick with Premiere, be proud of Premiere that can make Premiere live long and prosper... :) ================================== Media Design Imaging innovates and break the molds of visual creation http://www.mdifilm.com 216.373.3278 President (2004 & 2005) Organization of Chinese American of Greater Cleveland OCAGC http://www.ocagc.org Wu Jia Quan Shu (Art of Wu Family System) 2800 years old Family Style Martial Arts http://www.wujiaquan.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rieni Sent: 07/29/2005 7:07 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AP] Venting - how do you cope when faced with clients that wants FCP? It's the person behind the computer that edits the movie, not the computer nor the software. People who don't want to work with you because you don't use FCP, are like kids that only want to go to school wearing Nikes. Kids like that don't need Nikes, they need to get their butts kicked.
