The best news to me is that PP CS 6.0 makes use of Open CL and AE can now make use of true 3-D animation by implementing a raytracing engine. I wish Adobe would buy Carrara Pro from DAZ3D. Carrara rocks!

Although it doesn't affect me since I have Nvidia gear, I do wonder about the Open CL utilization...all the current docs seem to indicate that as a Mac solution. It doesn't specifically exclude utilizing ATI cards on PC, but every mention of Open CL and ATI seems closed to Mac usage. Guess we'll know more soon. I know a lot of people were wanting the ATI cards to be utilized.

All I have to say really, is SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!

Will I still need plural eyes for automatic audio sync with dual sound/hdslr recordring (without TC)?

And Adobe Transmit allows regular sequences to send SDI signals thru AJA, Matrox and BMD for display on external monitors or sent to tape machines. All with CUDA goodness and smooth playback.

Adobe Mercury Transmit!

Pop the champagne and break out the credit card!

Now... the debate on which card to use begins.

And even though it isn't exactly what he wants... a special toast for Jim Simon.

A Proper Monitoring Solution  Sep 9, 2011

Adjustment Layers!!!

Global Performance Cache!!!

Raytrace Engine!!!

This release appears to be an incredibly exciting one and congratulations to the entire Adobe team.

Cant wait to get amongst it. (especially ....Speedgrade!)

Be curious how backwardly compatible it is with CS5.5 Projects but assume that it wont be an issue.

Be keen to see what others are considering for "new hardware" to accompany this release. ( Maybe a thread could be started in this regard)

My order is going into my Adobe dealer today whatever.

Currently Matrox recommends roling back the Nvidia driver for display and proper monitoring solutions. They accuse Nvidia of a bad driver,, so even the newly released Mojito and the MX 02 needs an ancient driver to use in CS5.5..

I don't know, what this has to do with the topic, but it isn't an actual information anyway. look at

I'm hoping they have some kind of shortcut to add transitions without having to drag them from the effects panel. If you could assign them a custom button that would be a huge time saver.

You can now double-click an effects and it will add it to all selected clips on the timeline. That's a new feature to CS6. However, there have always been shortcuts for the default transitions for audio tracks and video tracks, and you can specify what the default transitions are (as well as the default duration). That functionality has been around for almost a decade in Premiere Pro. As far as I know, there are no shortcut options beyond the default transition (which, again, you can select from ANY transitions).

Otherwise having to upgrade every year or two is kind of expensive!

Yeah, it is, but if you're using it as a basis for your employment - or self-employment - then it should only require a couple of gigs to pay it off, and usually the features in each version do help to justify the upgrade cost in terms of time savings alone (Mercury certainly paid for itself in my books, very quickly, too).

There's also the Creative Cloud option where you can pay-as-you-go, only subscribing for the software on those months where you know you will need it for a certain project or projects. If you're not using the software frequently, that may be your best option.

I understand the increased productivity with each upgrade. I just bought this less than a year ago and already time to upgrade before I've been able to pay for the software. I think people will need to consider the accelerated upgrade cost when trying to get started. Maybe have a break on the first upgrade within a year of purchase, but it's more important to you for Adobe to make more millions than for the little guy to catch a break every now and then?

Its not compulsory or obligatory to upgrade.  Many do not do so on every advance  and stick with a version they can afford or are comfortable with.

Relax. 

Nothing condescending or negative in what I posted and not meant to offend in anyway.

I was simply only stating what I know others do about upgrade cycles of the product.

Understand entirely that you are upgrading for Speed Grade.  ( So am I...but I am not complaining about it.)

In fact I cant wait to write the cheque and get to work in the new version.

FWIW - one edit gig will repay the investment.  I would be worried about my business if it took a year to do so.

Ok, I don't see the problem with my original post. I thought it was  obvious that Premier was well behind both FCP 7 and Avid when it came to applying transistions? Even to change and apply a default transition is more criptic than it should be.  I said I hope the buttons are like Avids, but perhaps you aren't famaliar with this function of Avids? I followed that up with the lack of saving custom transitions, but no one responded to that, and instead continued to take issue with my concerns for the cost of upgrading. I think these are ligitimate concerns and thought the response were snide and took my post out of context.
