I Want to Understand the MAC Mystic

[terryj]

The Blu_Ray Push and meeting clients demands I could understand.
So are the mac users then upgrading to Toast 10 and buying
standalone external Blu-Ray Drives? Kitting and building their own
external DVD Blu-Ray Burners? Would be curious to know....

Video pros using Toast? You've got to be kidding. That is a bit like suggesting that a Pro use Nero on a PC. There are only a couple of MAC die hards in the group. They are using Premiere or FCP. One of the Premiere users has an external Blu-ray burner. I don't know about the others. The other couple of MAC loyalists aren't addressing Blu-ray yet.

question answered, then.

Also, you can forget "integrated" or "consistent" with Premiere. To Adobe, their applications trump the host OS with respect to the application user interface. Why? Well, one reason is that a Premiere user for example can sit down and use Premiere on either platform with only very minor differences on a MAC or PC. A professional Premiere user could give a tinkers damn about the "bureau" of standards in Cupertino, CA or Redmond, WA.

That has been Adobe's long held standard for all their apps, that uniformity exists within their suite of apps
FIRST, then the OS PORT standards being met. They have tightened this up ( it was much more 50 /50
early on) since the advent of CS2.

Adobe built their product "suite" from acquisitions so have little user interface consistency but they do attempt to link the products using right click menu tricks.

Even Photoshop and Premiere were acquisitions. Illustrator was mostly designed in house.

After Effects (COSA), Audition (CoolEdit), Flash (Macromedia) and Encore all had separate origins.

I thought Encore was new in-house? Or my memory is failing again...
