Like the rest of you, we were very intrigued to see REDCINE-X PRO. We love the look of it and see it as proof of RED's commitment to its professional users. STORM is a professional tool for RED users and now that REDCINE-X PRO has emerged, justifying investment in developing STORM becomes harder and harder against free software of this breadth. We say this with a heavy heart, because we're fond of what we've done.

The current release - STORM 1.0v4 - is the end of the STORM roadmap for us.

STORM will remain available to purchase until the end of September after which we will maintain the software until the end of October 2012.

We have also been busy on a secret project based on STORM technology which we'll be revealing at IBC in Amsterdam this weekend, so come and see us if you're attending.

Oh no, I just bought it and keep on crashing and now it is going to end.

The king is dead. Long live the king!

Curious what you will show us there. Won't make to IBC this year unfortunately, but I'm sure you will keep us posted.

I purchased Storm and have been using it quite a time. Although it's still it in infancy I found it useful. With some little tweaks here and there (XMLs that Autodesk finishing tools can read for instance) it could have been my tool of choice preparing RED footage for my Smoke.

Well, things not always turn out as planned.

Warm Regards,

Hans

Hi Kaku,

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this problem. Would you be able to send the crash report to support@thefoundry.co.uk so we can take a look at it? Also include the steps needed to reproduce this issue.

Storm will still be supported for another year so we will still be monitoring this forum for any issues the arise.

Kind regards,
Storm Support
 
Hopefully Son of Storm is a timeline based conform solution that wraps up Storm with Nuke, and has a Baselight plug-in, and and Nuke X option... oh and runs on something other than an nearly obsolite dongle (read macpro)

And priced to compete with smac (15k+ 15K dongle) or DS (10K + roll yer own machine)

Linux?
W7?

Hopeing for the return of a Cyborg2K with a decade of development ;-)

Wow. That's really sad. I actually feel a bit at a loss, like when you accidentally hit an animal that runs out in the street. There was nothing you could have done to miss it, and it doesn't really affect you that much, but you know there was a kids somewhere who really loved him.

I wasn't a storm user, but I love your products.

I think it would be amazing if you guys entered the NLE space. FCPX isn't targeted properly, and other programs have such a long complicated history that they can be a bit messy.

Here's to the future.
 
What Zac said.

Im upset for you guys, build an editor Im sure we would buy. You software is good.
 
was to be expected... RCX was already doubling on a lot of what Storm was...hope the new tool is up to it, I'm still supporting UK (-;

Richard, my heart is a little heavy too - but you are making the right choice IMO. RCX continues to improve and clearly RED isn't slowing down.

The work done has created the foundation for your other project - which I know will be a smash hit at IBC :)

I was actually really hoping that you guys were going to eventually turn it into a full blown NLE to compete with FCP, premiere, avid, etc.

Sad news for sure, but I do agree with the decision :(

Come Friday, no one will be missing Storm.
 
I was hoping Storm would expand out to have multi file support for every camera system, with all the bells and whistles it offered to R3D also. a unified platform for all digital shooting, file conversions, looks, lut bake ins, metadata tagging, exposure check, etc. It had so much promise, but it's right that going against RCX wasn't working. free is the best price in town and you can't argue with that, and RED makes a lot of changes very quickly and it's very hard for a 3rd party vendor to keep up with that, it makes much more sense to do that all in house. I hope the foundry takes the seeds of Storm and makes something else which is more on the lines I just spoke up, look forward to the announcements this weekend!
 
Sorry to hear about Storm. I tested it a while back (first releaase) and found it couldn't yet do what I needed it to do. I was about to ring up The Foundry to have another crack at it now that it has matured...oh well.

I can't wait til Friday then!
 
I'm eagerly looking forward to seeing what you're doing with the technology you developed for Storm. Please keep us Windows users in mind. (:
 
I'm sorry to hear that - I was really looking forward to a version that would allow me to work with multiple camera formats in the same application :(

Many of my last jobs have been both red and alexa (and often a bit of 5d thrown in) - being able to throw quick grades, and LUTs and organize any footage for dailies export - would have been great!

good luck with your new direction - i'm sure it will be great
 
will storm users get any kind of discount on this new product. we were waiting for features in v1.1 ,I'll be more reluctant to plunk down money next go round. really storm should have become a full NLE with tight integration to nuke to compete with premiere/after effects
