Didn't Jeff do that in this very thread?

I'm curious as to what misinformation there was out there.  My reactions are based on what I've experienced first hand with it.

Devil is in the details.  I should have been more specific.

OMF does not exist and requires third party support.  When they DO include it, it will lean on metadata instead of tracks. 

Same with XML.

For tape control, they provide a list of cameras that will NOT interface with Devk control, and several of them are formats that Pro's use.  Otherwise, they say rely on third party support.

For scratch disk setting, which used to be one of the first things you did, is now auto defaulted to your local drive.  Makes no sense in an age of 1 TB drives for 200 bucks.

No Multicam NOW.  It is pointless to launch it without it.

I was mistaken on relinking, and I retract that one.

So most of my quips are still there, just more specific now.  It isn't misinformation, just specificity.

My take-away from the whole thing is that if you're a professional, try to enter relationships with software vendors where they need you as much as you need them.

If not, incentives get all fucked and you end up with something like FCPX. So in that perverted sense, yeah, I'm happy to have learned that lesson. It sucks that the industry has been slapped in the head with this reframe, but moving forward people that lean on packages like this to make a living are better off elsewhere.

Harrell, you mentioned getting Smoke.  How much was that?  they don't publish the price on their website...

Hey Jeff,

Where is the link to Mark's twitter post.  Can't seem to find it.

Teague, you fucking hypocrite.

;-)

Damn, I'm sorry. I forgot his twits are private. My bad.
