Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 10 years ago"the other problems don't seem CC/rental/subscription specific" yes. that's true. but i think that one of the perceived "values" of the subscription model is that you always have the newest version. WE ALL KNOW that that isnt always a good idea. but i think with this model, "updates" may be more frequent and just be a feature or two rather than some fundamental chby wayne granzin - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 10 years agoits been a problem for me. after the first month there was a conflict with an old adobe user account i had that left my apps inoperable for about half a day while we figured it out. to their credit, adobe WAS quite proactive in that situation. only after installing and launching photoshop CS6 did i discover that the video componentry in my laptop (that served me just fine in CS5) wasnt adeby wayne granzin - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 10 years agoalthough i'm not a big supporter of adobe's decision. some of the things people are saying on that page are just outright ********. one of my favorites is: "$600+ a year...forever. and you don't get to keep it if you decide to stop using it?" i guess that guy doesn't have internet service or a mobile phone? hell. i pay upwards of $600 a MONTH for our family's at&t family planby wayne granzin - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Creative Cloud Open Letter - 10 years agoive been a subscriber for about 6 months now. and it has its ups and downs. and if i had it to do again i probably would NOT. here's why: now i have the problem of being too far ahead of the curve and many colleagues and service bureaus dont have the newest versions and cant open my files. some of the features require newer hardware. so unless you update your computer AT LEAST every twoby wayne granzin - Adobe Premiere Pro CC Re: Recommendations for a traveling case to protect Imac?

- 11 years agoi just bit the bullet and decided to give X a shot. i have my loves and hates with it as most do - especially the ridiculous "magnetic" timeline horsecrap... but thats another discussion. my question is about keyframes. it looks like the effects/transitions are keyframeable, but all i can see is a previous/current/next control. is there not a keyframe window/timeline where i canby wayne granzin - Café LA - X Re: Buying X, any reason for Motion, Compressor, Mountain Lion?

- 12 years agoi have to tell you. every time im in a restaurant and they have a bunch of glossy screen tvs facing a wall of windows and all i can see on the tvs is the cars in the parking lot. i ask myself.
