I took the survey. It took me two days to complete because of interruptions and long-windedness in the comments. It would be interesting to hear what others posted.

In the comment section I asked Adobe to have an even more liberal policy that would let me buy the Production suite and run it on my Mac and my PC as long as I didn’t run them at the same time. I’m considering moving back to the Windows world (for the less expensive hardware) since Apple isn’t keeping FCP on the cutting edge.
- I also suggested that they come up with a node-based compositing application. Autodesk is now bundling Toxik with Maya 2010, along with some other useful tools. I’ve avoided Autodesk because I perceive them as less than user-friendly.
- I really like the feature in Encore which lets a DVD author create a Flash app for the web which emulates the whole DVD, menus and all. That’s the first thing I wished for when I started using DVD Studio Pro.
- I also suggested that anything they can do to make videos less search-opaque on the web would be useful. Perhaps automating the inclusion of searchable tags or even a full transcript. When you search the transcript, the links should jump you into the video right before that section or even the nearest chapter point. Also having chapter navigation built into the players by default. It can be done now, but it’s not easy.
- That’s what I thought. What did you think?

Peace,
