  • I am always in favor of options. I have no problem with an option in System Prefs for "Windows Shortcuts". Adobe did this with InDesign for Quark Switchers, and for good reason, as many long time users have shortcuts engrained in their minds. Sure i…
  • Yes, the Windows implimentation of keyboard shortcuts makes soooo much more sense than the way Apple has implimented it.... Oh wait... instead of 1 modifier key there are 2, the Control Key AND the Windows Key. Control c, x, v does your copy, cut…
  • I cast my vote for late 2007, with all file format features of the (then) current Windows version. I think its important to remember that companies sell new versions of software based on features. A Universal Binary "port" is not considered by de…

  • I am so sick of this copy protection crap. When I was in school in the UK, I and some friends brought over some US DVDs, but we also rented and borrowed UK DVDs. At the time, the only viable method of switching back and forth on a regular basis like…
  • Quote: Originally posted by the cool gut Well, I'm pretty much over Quarks past problems, it seems they've learned their lessons, and I'm going to be checking out Xpress - I've played with the beta, and I really like the interface quite a bit mor…
  • Quote: Originally posted by audiopollution You will need to purchase separate copies for each machine or purchase a volume license from Adobe. Im still trying to figure out if I can install it on both a desktop and laptop (when I get the mone…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Eugene MPEG-4 AVC and VC-1 achieve better compression because they use psychovisual modeling and other techniques that discard a ton of video information. At a high enough bitrate, MPEG-2 will be superior. If they do…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Programmer I still like the idea of a sub-$300 box (with a remote) that sits next to my DVD player, supports HDTV and 7.1, plugs into ethernet (and the next wireless standard), and allows me to watch or listen to the c…
  • As stated earlier, I think that while PC games and Console games do have some overlap, each has their own strengths and weaknesses. It would be virtually impossible to play a strategy game on a console, you need a keyboard and mouse (hence Starcr…
  • Quicktime Pro has a deinterlace filter, but its options are relatively limited (duplicate field or blur) and the quality is OK at best (similar to most deinterlace filters). Your best bet is definately Compressor 2. It does a fantastic job of dei…
  • Quote: Originally posted by TednDi Aperture will be a photoshop killer if and when Steve says so. This isn't bluster it is leverage. Apple has huge amounts of money available for R&D. My guess is that somewhere locked in a vault at 1 infi…

  • Quote: Originally posted by Muchisgiven I'm trying to transfer video clips for editing.. You need to transfer both the project file and the online source video files. Unlike iMoive, FCP keeps the project file (which is basically an instructio…
  • Quote: Originally posted by Bergermeister Whatever happens, may all new Macs have more USB ports on them! Goodness I hope you are right. Here's to hoping the Mac Pro has 6 USB 2.0 ports... And maybe they can throw us video editors a fricki…

  • Quote: Originally posted by masahs I have the last CRT made by Apple with an ADC compatible cable (the one that looks like an alien). I also have an Apple DVI to ADC Display Adapter. I want to purchase a new Mac Mini and want to know if I will be…
  • I agree with Marvin's suggestion. If you need a useable machine primarily for After Effects and FCP, and you need it before about a year to a year and a half, then go with a G5. FCP Studio will be Universal in about a month, but After Effects was ju…
