  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

When will the R3D importer for Premiere beta be available?

My worry is that the plugin will end up working only with CS4 and we'll have to wait for that release (and shell out another $600 to upgrade). This may be a good thing in the end if there is added functionality that makes it worth while... but I am sill anxiously wanting/waiting to drop the R3Ds directly into Premier Pro and After Effects.

Clint,

I honestly do not know what Adobe's release plans are, but the version of the plugin that I was showing at IBC in the Assimilate stand was running on CS3.

Best,

Seems like CS4 is due to be released on Nov 14, 2008, according to Amazon.com, I am seriously thinking about getting back into premiere (abandoned it when they stopped it for the mac),

Premieres upcoming R3D plugin seems very impressive and it´s 10bits cababilities are tasty not to mention blu-ray burning support in encore, is enough to bite.

(I can not comprehend how Apple has allowed itself to be left behind on all these issues....)
 
I watched a eSeminar from Adobe last week, and during that the moderator said that CS 4 will be released by mid October. A couple of weeks?

Encore CS 4 will allow import of After Effects and Premiere projects files so that no rendering is required, just transcoding inside Encore. Very nice and the projects files can be edited from Encore with an "edit original" command.

That is the first thing one thinks of, but with a million copies of FCP out there, wouldn´t it be good business for Apple to keep it competetive, they had the edge!
I mean Apple surely has more than one team of engineers...

Premiere is awesome.

have you guys seen the speech-to-text feature? Amazing help for docs....

And the way Adobe focuses on complete workflow - and Dynamic Link - makes them far superior to FCP, in my opinion.

As you guys may know, ASSIMILATE has formed a strategic partnership with Adobe regarding many workflows, but RED in particular.

The last time I worked professionally with Premiere (long before ASSIMILATE days) was with 6.1. At that time, I had an awful experiencce. I was doing a longform show with sources from multiple vendors. Missed deadlines, yelling and screaming, etc, etc. It was bad.

But... I have to say... I was impressed with CS3, and am completely blown away by what Adobe has accomplished with CS4. I think it will be a hard road, but Adobe is a big company with resources and passion. I believe at the end of that road, the CS series of products is going to be a very legitimate threat to Avid and Apple. With Bridge becoming more of a "real" app, the metadata tie-ins between Premiere and After Effects make moving between the apps much more fluid, and that's just the start.

We're very excited to be working with Adobe at this stage of the CS line's evolution, and I firmly believe that anyone making the investment in CS4 with regards to RED workflow will not be disappointed!

That is indeed a confirmation of my thoughts... I have been disappointed in Apple and their lack of support/ignorance for (true)10bit/blu ray support, and Adobe just keeps going, while the only thing we really hear from Apple is iphone this and ipod that....

I think I am sold...

I staretd working non-linear (for the first time in my life, appart from rented hours in Avid suites) with Adobe Premiere 4.2 on a PowerPC 8600/250Mhz Mac over a decade ago, and much later made the transition from 6.0 to FCP 4.0 due to Adobe no longer supporting the Apple platform, when FCP first came out it was far behind Premiere, but by version 3.0 it might have surpassed it, now it looks like Adobe is gaining the upper hand again - if it hasn´t already...
