Message about STORM

[Richard Shackleton]

Like the rest of you, we were very intrigued to see REDCINE-X PRO. We love the look of it and see it as proof of RED's commitment to its professional users. STORM is a professional tool for RED users and now that REDCINE-X PRO has emerged, justifying investment in developing STORM becomes harder and harder against free software of this breadth. We say this with a heavy heart, because we're fond of what we've done.

The current release - STORM 1.0v4 - is the end of the STORM roadmap for us.

STORM will remain available to purchase until the end of September after which we will maintain the software until the end of October 2012.

We have also been busy on a secret project based on STORM technology which we'll be revealing at IBC in Amsterdam this weekend, so come and see us if you're attending.

Sad :(

Oh no, I just bought it and keep on crashing and now it is going to end.

The king is dead. Long live the king!

Curious what you will show us there. Won't make to IBC this year unfortunately, but I'm sure you will keep us posted.

I purchased Storm and have been using it quite a time. Although it's still it in infancy I found it useful. With some little tweaks here and there (XMLs that Autodesk finishing tools can read for instance) it could have been my tool of choice preparing RED footage for my Smoke.

Well, things not always turn out as planned.

Warm Regards,

Hans

Maybe storm will be transformed to a new edit tool.....

Hi Kaku,

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this problem. Would you be able to send the crash report to support@thefoundry.co.uk so we can take a look at it? Also include the steps needed to reproduce this issue.

Storm will still be supported for another year so we will still be monitoring this forum for any issues the arise.

Kind regards,
Storm Support

Hopefully Son of Storm is a timeline based conform solution that wraps up Storm with Nuke, and has a Baselight plug-in, and and Nuke X option... oh and runs on something other than an nearly obsolite dongle (read macpro)

And priced to compete with smac (15k+ 15K dongle) or DS (10K + roll yer own machine)

Linux?
W7?

Hopeing for the return of a Cyborg2K with a decade of development ;-)

Wow. That's really sad. I actually feel a bit at a loss, like when you accidentally hit an animal that runs out in the street. There was nothing you could have done to miss it, and it doesn't really affect you that much, but you know there was a kids somewhere who really loved him.

I wasn't a storm user, but I love your products.

I think it would be amazing if you guys entered the NLE space. FCPX isn't targeted properly, and other programs have such a long complicated history that they can be a bit messy.

Here's to the future.

[Daniel Reichenbach]

As expected, good luck with your new approach.
