If I come back here will that be some weird signal that Jim Simon will then post 5 pages of " the world according to Jim " ? Or is he now ( thank Gawd ) one of the actors on that new reality TV show " Survivors On Desert Island " and won't be back until 22 episodes are in the can ?

The suggestion that a fake poster credit to sell a fake movie won't be taken as a suggestion somebody actually BECOMES a director.

( burp, scuse me , its BEER THIRTY YIPEE ! )

I take umbrage ( is that the word I want ? ) with the 4k debacle. I shot red test stuff on card limited to 2k on card and had to downscale using redcine X to mov h264 using the mouse... just to get it INTO the mouse... and the quality suffered a lot ( and thank gawd Jim asked if I would ever do color correction on that sample I shared , cause it really helped me to get beat up in a forum where nobody has cc monitors anyway , least of all me who is color blind anyway ).

My opinion is that if someone wants to take 4k footage, put it in a paper bag and set it on fire, and leave it at some creepy neighbors front door , ring their bell and run away , on Halloween.. more power to them !

You do realize that in NYC you are not ALLOWED TO SMOKE CIGARETTES now in Central Park ? Because of Bloomberg, the scourge of mankind in human guise ?

Imagine the horrible STENCH of horse poop ! Imagine the unsavory smell of ROASTING CHESTNUTS ( a poor person's love and not anywhere near the aroma of , say, an

Almond Encrusted MonkFish with Beurre Blanc Sauce )

yuck. Thank God he couldn't buy his way into another term.

He probably has some little apartment somewhere to meet Scott Rudin and yap about his hopeful part in 'Kinky Boots 2 ' , to launch his next career as a freak.

just to get this off my chest. about NYC and bloomberg ( the nightmare in human form ).

Throughout history the celebration of New Years Eve was basically a countdown, a celebration, and the singing of

Auld Lang Syne

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auld_Lang_Syne

Think about that a minute.

Bloomberg turned it into singing NEW YORK NEW YORK ( sinatra and billy joel stuff ).

FOR YEARS there was a band that played at places for new years ( forget name of it now, was my parents time basically but I liked it too ). oh.. found it...

Guy Lombardo

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Lombardo

That was new years celebration. was for everyone. all people, all cities, every cool place with cool people in the nation and around the world.

BLOOMBERG turned it into a promo for NYC.. playing ' new york new york ' through speakers in times square that are the size of 16 story buildings.

That is disgusting, and is a flagrant disregard and insult to all the nation and all the cool towns, cities and peoples who celebrate that moment.

what an insurmountable ass he is.

You get tired after a few months. It just gets worse as time goes on so most of us develop a live and let live attitude.

Truthfully, what happens is that you stop answering the questions for a while, then, one day, you realize nobody has answered, so you get roped back into answering. You do this until you get good and tired again, and the cycle continues.

Reading the manual is old fashioned, don't you know? So I just keep pointing them to the Eagle and to the Creative Cow tutorials. I continue to say nice things about Lynda.com - would you believe that I still get paid a little every month for my Premiere Pro 1.5 tutorials from 2004? Lynda is really a delightful, intelligent, competant woman. I had lunch with her one day and it was quite memorable.

I can understand why they thyink that an intermediate is needed, but we just have to keep at it. We need to get the point across as best we can by telling them to try it out for themselves.

As for non-editable media, I don't believe that there really is such a thing. Not really. There are always going to be people who try to edit highly compressed video, but that is their problem. They will have to get used to the fact that Premiere Pro is not designed to stitch together media without a loss in quality. We are going to see more and more of this as more and more people figure out that they can accomplish a lot with a free trial, and that $50 per month is a bargain if they use enough of the programs. But almost all media can be edited. It is just the quality that is an issue. I was surprised to find that FLV files are not supported anymore. Seems like a mistake to me.

I have never run more than a 20K run. And the only marathon I have ever watched was the women at the 1984 Olympics.

A guy on another forum who persists in advising users of Window editing programs to convert source files to Prores.

He really bugs me when he advising Edius users to convert to Prores when Edius probably has the best transcoding software there is should you have a PC that cannot handle native material.

A certain user on this forum who has many posts and yet persists in degrading others who give advice that is either in conflict with his (clue there as to gender) or an alternative.

Idiots who post.....................will someone make me a promo?

Those who post a question when someone else has posted the same query a few posts earlier

Finally.............that Adobe does not acknowledge that many, many users do not want a subscription system, especially when it is extorting more money out of us than upgrades did.

Reading posts on the Adobe forums about bugs, here, bugs there.............................there product development really sucks at times

On the plus side, its 11:15 here in the UK, and I am pondering why am I sat here talking to you guys when I could be outside under the blue cloudless skies (a rarity at this time of year)? Where is my gardening kit? Bye
