Never thought I would see Apple advertising the Adobe Creative suite for new Macs. But it's there.
Note, they are not advertising Premier or AE.

Who cares about the premiere thing after today?
Or cineform for that matter...
It's all there - all of a sudden.

I'm willing to bet Premier Pro CS3 on the mac will work just fine with RedCode and Cineform. Don't jump the gun just yet folks, still a few more days to go.

OK
I guess you're right, but for people like me who have been contemplating testing Premiere, just for the lack of updates to FCP, and CC in particular, the reason for dropping FCS/Shake have become... let's say "lesser" -;)
The Cineform comment was actually a bit more towards SI, as I have really thought they have worked out the workflow, as you don't have tog go through a digitial intermediate stage.
With Redcode RAW (as far as I've understood) playing back directly in FCS - I am all the merrier.
getting Color for 500$.... -;)
I was ready to pull my card on the app as a standalone tool.

Looks like its time to change platform

For anyone doing a feature, I think Color clenches the deal for Apple. For anyone doing broadcast work, I think IO-HD does clenches the deal for Apple.
Poor Adobe.
Well, I suppose we shouldn't feel too sorry for them. They still completely own the 2D bitmap editor market, the 2D vector illustration market, the Flash content creation market, a big chunk of the page layout market, etc.

Of course they're advertising it - Photoshop users are a big part of Apple's user base.

Don't forget that Adobe also owns the motion graphics market.
Motion isn't an After Effects killer, we'lll see if Motion 3 can do better.
Also the Premiere/AE/Flash integration is really something.
As long as FCP and Premiere can play nice on the same system, it make sense to have Premiere for VFX assembly work into AE, then render out to DPX for "Color" timing
