Giggin' for Adobe.
Friday, November 5, 2010 at 12:02PM 
OK… its official… I’ve actually been asked to do a live presentation for Adobe on November 15th at noon California time. I’m not totally sure where you see it or how you log on… I’ll find that out when I know more but it should be fun. (I seriously feel like they are gonna wake up and say… “Wait…WHAAA??? Who invited this guy to the party?”)
Turns out i’m just “the opening act” for the big hitters. Richard Harrington will be hosting Day 2, Collin Smith, is hosting Day 3 and the headliners of Karl Soule and Kevin Monahan will be hosting Day 4.
Looks like they have something on the Facebooker you can check out there. (I’m not a fan of Facebook).

Go Chris, go!
I'm sure you'll be the perfect lead-off hitter.

Wow that is cool! I bet a lot of people are interested in the experience of switching from FCP to Premiere. I just installed my new video card today and it freaking rocks! I can play back in the preview window full res of the edits I am making. My new 240 GT card that only cost $75 is making me smile.
Go, go, go and show em the axe.
Tell em the quirks you found (and showed) in your X2PPro series.
We need improvements with the next update release.
Much luck!
That's awesome! I'm sure you'll pick up a lot of fans.
Dave... $75 bucks... THATS amazing... no such 'bargain' in the Mac world... gonna cost me about $1200 me thinks...
thanks for the support... been watching your site too... you should have shown the click by click when you did your Chroma key demo... keep it up.
Thomas... I think I'm gonna get into the gamma shift issues that plague FCP>AE>FCP roundtrips... it turns out it is a deep deep problem and PPro has a very elegant solution.
Hey Sam Brown... I think i knew a Sam Brown in college... are you the same one? or an impostor...?
Patrick...
"lead off" is good??? we'll see, I think its gonna be a fun experience and I've put WAY more time into prep then I had planned on... oh well.. I hope your site is going well... Check out "www.taoofcolor.com" people... you won't be disappointed!
Congrats, Chris! Two wins in one: Adobe presentation lead-off + Hurlbut Visuals HDSLR bootcamp footage to show off, too. You'll set the tone for the rest of the presentation. Just maybe, just maybe I'll make the switch. Yeah. Still sitting on the fence :)
Come ON Carl... you of all people should know by now that your HDSLR footage will NEVER look better than when you cut it in Premiere Pro CS5
Can you share with us why you switched back from Premiere to FCP?

Suffice it to say, Back in 2010, I was the first hard core FCP guy to suggest that we, the production community take a closer look at Premiere, and at the time, I was convinced it was indeed the best choice. Because of a small list of issues, many of which are hard to describe, I decided I had to move on.
So now, in the beginning of 2014 and basically all of 2013, I've been preaching how all ya'll needed to take a serious look at FCPX again, CERTAINLY after the 10.1 update in December 2013.
As we stand NOW... I've found that FCPX is a better tool for me.
Its Faster...
It moves between machines better...
Less of the "Cacheing file mystery"
and in a more nebulous way... it made editing FUN again.
I also feel that in its current configuration, that Premiere is really just Final Cut Version 8, and in that way I DO believe that FCPX is way ahead of Premiere. This code has legs... the structure of the app is going to last us another decade and Premiere is feeling like a bit of a house of cards... TO ME.
that being said, there are plenty of good people cutting nice pieces on Premiere and truly the dynamic link to AE is fantastic. However, I used AE every day, and there are tutorials on this sight explaining HOW I do that.
Ultimately you have to decide for yourself, but I'll tell you this... if you want to work with ME... you're gonna have to use FCPX. Its that simple and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
