Updating to 2014
daveinsacto Jul 18, 2014 3:39 PMHello all,
We are operating in a central storage environment, and have been running relatively smoothly since the CC 7.2.2 update. We would like to hear any thoughts on updating globally to CC 2014. We are currently in the middle of cutting 16x1hr episodes for broadcast, and have a bit of trepidation about updating spurring from production nightmares with the 7.2.1 fiasco of December, 2013. I opened one of our projects in CC 2014, it seemed stable on the surface for one day's worth of work, however getting that work back into 7.2.2 via XML proved clumsy with several workarounds, which I won't go into detail here. We have 5 working stations in-house, plus laptops, as well as two stations in a remote location working via HDD. If we update, we have to update as many as 10 machines in unison. Should we experience unforeseen issues with CC 2014, the amount of work to get back and cozy into 7.2.2 will be extremely counterproductive and will most definitely cause delays in our deliverables, which we would love to avoid.
Is anyone out there working in a similar environment with CC 2014, and how is it working for you?
Thanks!
Dave O'
