Adobe and Avid Target Final Cut Pro Users With 'Switcher' Discounts

Adobe and Avid Target Final Cut Pro Users With 'Switcher' Discounts: "Adobe today announced a new 'switcher' promotion clearly designed to take advantage of the significant amount of criticism being levied against Apple's new Final Cut Pro X. The new program offers a 50% discount on either Creative Suite CS5.5 Production Premium or Premiere Pro CS5.5 to current users of Apple's Final Cut Pro or Avid's Media Composer. Certain current Adobe users are also eligible for the promotion.
'We're hearing from video professionals that they want pro level tools that address cutting edge work but also allow them to use legacy footage and workflows,' said Jim Guerard, general manager and vice president of professional video and audio, Adobe. 'At Adobe we've been in the trenches with video pros for years and with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and CS5.5 Production Premium we've delivered professional-grade tools that are already being battle-tested by some of the most innovative filmmakers, broadcasters and video pros.'
Adobe's switcher program is limited to commercial customers and is valid through September 30th.





Avid has also taken advantage of Apple's issues, once again offering Final Cut Pro users more than 50% off of its Media Composer software, pricing it at $995 compared to the usual $2,295 download price and $2,495 boxed price. The discounted pricing is available for existing pre-Final Cut Pro X users.
We are listening. And one of the things you have clearly said is that you want Media Composer to be more accessible. In response to your feedback, we are extending the cross-grade to Media Composer - through September. Final Cut Pro (excluding FCP X) users can get Media Composer 5.5 at the promotional price of $995 USD. You can order the cross-grade as of next Tuesday, July 5th.
Avid had offered the crossgrade promotion from mid-April through June 17th after Apple took over the Final Cut Pro User Group SuperMeet at NAB to preview Final Cut Pro X, kicking out Avid and other sponsors of the event in order to have the stage for itself. Avid's decision to renew the crossgrade the program through September is clearly an effort to attract Final Cut Pro users disappointed in the official release of Final Cut Pro X.

Fantastic Metropolis II Matchbox Car Cityscape (video)

Fantastic Metropolis II Matchbox Car Cityscape (video): "

We first featured the matchbox creations of Chris Burden back in 2010 when he was building the framework for his artistic Metropolis II Matchbox Car Cityscape which is 10ft tall and 28 ft wide. Burden’s kinetic sculpture Metropolis II is a massive cityscape where more than a 1,000 toy cars racing down 18 lanes of freeways continuously.

The Match Box cityscape took artist Chris Burden, and his chief engineer Zak Cook, together with ten assistants four years to build in his Topanga Canyon studio, and now the Metropolis II has now been sold for millions of dollars and can been seen in all its glory in the video after the jump.

So go thank your grandpappy it’s just a concept. Designed by Jongwoo Choi, the Cicadiddae has quite  a monstrous intention.

Unless you count smudged fingerprints as groundbreaking news.

Microsoft Porting Zune Apps To WP7

Microsoft Porting Zune Apps To WP7: "

Say what you will about the Zune in general, from the brown first-gen hardware to the doomed WiFi sharing gimmick, but the Zune HD was some decent hardware coupled with some really polished apps. And as such, it was a fitting swan song for an entertainment device that arrived just as smartphones and tablets came into their own as  entertainment devices to end them all. Microsoft, however, is intent on salvaging whatever it can from the experiment.

Along with most corporations on the planet. Hold on, we got sidetracked there for a minute. Ah yes, the 3DS apparently had two big-time hurdles to clear.
