hey lucas,
are there any new products planned from assimilate?
with redcinex and storm on mac, will you launch products
on mac?
something for the workflow? for conforming?
for CC?

just want to hear whats on the horizon
 
Damn Bill, was that an attempt at a joke/sarcasm???

I think Assimilate has an adequate product for a segment of the market.
 
uh, yeah, kinna...

I'm sure Assimilate has "an adequate product for a segment of the market." So did (DOES! Yikes! I'm not trying to start another one of those flame wars) Arri. Then came RED. So did Avid. Then came Apple. So did Assimilate. Then came The Foundry.

Technology has a way of migrating toward the masses over time.

By any chance, do you own one or more seats of Scratch?

Bill -

We own three seats of Scratch and use it every single day on films that are being released in theaters. As far as bang for your buck - you'd be hard-pressed to find a better DI tool for RED for the price - then - and NOW. I can play two streams of RED 4K with a full debayer in RT. Sure BlackMagic Design has leap-frogged the "race to the bottom" with Resolve - and YES the Foundry is making something amazing - I'm one of consultants for that project and alpha test for them - but STORM does NOT do what Scratch does right now - and the first released version will not be a tool suitable for a mid to high level DI. I'm very sure they will get there - might not be in the $375 version of Storm either - who knows. There will always be cheaper tools down the road. But if you need to work TODAY - then you look at ROI. You can ROI a Scratch system with THREE or less mid-level DIs. Pretty tough to do that with other systems.
 
Very diplomatic, Mark. And undoubtedly true. You've been a great proponent for both. But I don't operate at or near your level. I'm just talking about Festivus. You know, Christmas for the rest of us!
 
hi guys, i wasnt talking about scratch or a full blown cc tool with secondaries.
there was once a product called prepost or so.

load edl's, red raws, dpx files, Qt files, conform, 1st light CC,
Masks.

more in this area.

If you're looking for a cheaper color grading solution why not look at Color or Resolve? Now you're just trolling.

No Storm for you!

Trolling? I thought I was just joking.

My point is that, last time around, as the R1 slowly came into the hands of thousands, there was, at least at first, a dearth of post solutions, on-set to finishing, with the exception of Scratch, which was out of reach for many.

No doubt Assimilate earned their only-solution status by stepping up early and helping RED develop their bare-bones, no-cost toolkits. But with The Foundry's news of Storm's low-cost entry point and other third-party solutions like Clipfinder still around, it appears that, this time around, there will be more modestly-priced solutions out of the gate.

I was only suggesting that, in this new environment, with TENS of thousands of units likely to fly out of RED's doors in considerably shorter order, Assimilate might want to consider competing in the lower-end, price-sensitive segment of the market and make up for margin with volume, rather than leaving that cash on the table. That's all.
