Just fyi for the REDUSER crew. ;)

Over the next few months, you'll see a lot of exciting stuff tied to this announcement. We are extremely excited by what we've seen and done so far.

Because Adobe offers PC systems, the amount of interoperability that is available between the CS packages and SCRATCH is really impressive.

None of this happens instantly. But if you are a RED customer who has made the investment in Adobe, you will not be disappointed.

Best,

That's good news!...but this article really doesn't tell us anything.... :biggrin:
What a tease! :)
 
if only....
if only assimilate could become a little more reddier in terms of price and being mac friendlier...
in that case this could possibly incredible news...
 
See you tomorrow in Amsterdam...

Great!
 
Thats exactly what I thought was gonna happen once that adobe had announced their involvement in RED. There was no other way! Otherwise it could have been a not so nice near future.
THanks for the heads up
 
Assimilate is a smart company, that makes really wise decisions. On my posts last week I mentioned it would be smart Adobe to buy technology or work with Assimilate and Red to better the workflow, I had no clue they were already in bed in an orgy together.
 
and I dont think Assimilate have to lower the price of scratch at all, its a niche professional market and one of the most affordable conform solutions in that market, compered to Quantel etc. they are a small company and dont produce a product that the average desktop user needs, if the market and need grows I believe they will respond accordingly. You know final touch is now free "as Color in FCP" but how many people use or actually know how to use it. Thats why Apple has not upgraded or enhanced the software in any big way.

I wish you guys would port it over to the Mac platform too. My PC days are long over.

This is great Lucas, however, I hope that the same interoperability will be possible with Macs connected to the same SAN. If you plan on doing something ala Apple from within Premiere like 'send to Scratch' that is obviously not going to work cross platform... just keep the Macs on the top of your list please!
 
Lucas,

This is great. Can we expect a similar announcement regarding Cineform?

I want to convert my Red footage to Cineform, edit in Premiere, and then import my Premiere .pproj file into Scratch for color timing and finishing.

Should I make the check out to Assimilate, or Iridas?

with all of this PC stuff.. is it a good choice to just get a badddddasssssss PC set up.. or pay up the ass for a 8core mac?

Although I love my PC (quad core with 8GB of Ram and running Vista x64), the Mac Pro is an excellent computer that can run OSX and Vista, It's very very hard to buy the equivalent hardware for the same price that apple is selling the standard 8 core system (I know people are going to argue with me, but I've looked into it in the past), the biggest thing is then you can run both OS's. I personally am looking forward to new mac pro's soon, but I don't know how soon that will happen. You can get a quad core pc with 8gb of ram for way cheap right now and let that hold you over until new Mac Pro's come out with the Nehalem processor.

Regardless of the hardware the software just works better on PC architecture ie windows.
