The more things change the more they stay the same.

All Adobe needs is a Color equivalent. I know, I know, they're working with Assimilate. But as others have said, unless Scratch is bundled at no extra cost with CS4, as Color is in FCS, then it's not an option for most of us. With the power and depth of PS and lightroom, it seems like a video/motion picture grading app would be an easy and logical next step, but.... what the hell do I know?

I'm actually worried that their integration with Assimilate might hinder the development of such an application. But again, what do I know?

[Adam Glick]

I haven't heard anybody talking about "integration" of these two apps per se, just the development of a smooth and effective pipeline between the two.

This, along with things like the rumored Avid/OMF support for CS4, I think Adobe are showing that they are not interested in locking things down. On the contrary, this seems to be all about making things more open.

Although Adobe does not have an application like Color built into it, it does allow 3rd party plugins that are as powerful as Color if not more powerful.

Now if you are using CineForm and Premiere (on PC) you can take extra advantage of these plugins (as long as they 32 bpc) and CF. Using CineForm's Metadata you can apply the effects and create a LUT, or using Speedgrade you can import a LUT and apply it realtime to your media in Premiere. No rendering.

This is up to 4K RAW material all at 32bpc... realtime...

That silence of Apple...

I would bet that a product like Color, Shake and FC rolled into one superapp (plus a few surprises..... maybe Logic integration?) is in the works.

Would explain the non-developement of Color and a few other mystery-thingies at Apple.

Next year.... Steve Jobs color grading footage live on his iPhone... compositing and composing at the same time.... autoediting with "Crank", "Bourne" or "Traffic" presets..... they "just work".....

So my question is...When the Adobe plug-in for Premiere is released will it operate most effectively on an Apple or PC platform???

I waiting to purchase one or the other.....I am in the camp of the platform that works best with the R3D files!!!
