Re: [Avid-L2] Avid needs to become a PRIVATE company!

The Adobe cloud set-up is pretty great.
Photoshop CS6 with 3D is really good (though the 3D still needs some work… and/or I need a tutorial!), and there are improvements to After Effects that make it worth it in my book too. Plus Acrobat Pro . . . And of course Premiere -- though I just fired it up in earnest for the first time the other day and found myself hoping Avid would borrow from it in some areas, but overall being very happy to be cutting with Media Composer. Hmmm… maybe Adobe can buy Media Composer/Symphony? Might be a good thing.
