Re: [Avid-L2] Way OT: Adobe CS6 updater ???

Well if you ask Adobe, it's "illegal".

https://www.quora.com/How-is-it-legal-for-Adobe-to-say-that-its-now-illegal-for-people-to-use-old-versions-of-Photoshop-even-when-people-have-paid-for-them-before-they-decided-to-do-subscription-based

On a more reasonable note, the biggest issue I can think of is compatibility with others on current versions.

I use Adobe products once in a blue moon…ask the G5 in my basement still running CS4.

Re: [Avid-L2] Housekeeping

That's interesting.  I started on a PC Symphony Meridian and never got asked that question even when I had duplicate media on different volumes.  Things like series graphics and other common elements to each episode would end up getting consolidated twice if I wasn't careful.  I'm surprised I never got the prompt you use to get.

I'll give the trial a spin.

Re: [Avid-L2] Housekeeping

That was an awfully long time ago. I guess that media management is better now and Avid can cope with duplicate media. As I prepare a lot of teaching material I come across this and it can be tricky to clean up - always the danger of deleting original media that seems to be linked to different clips.

Re: [Avid-L2] Housekeeping

Thanks guys.

Apparently Avid no longer gives up a heads up about dupe media.

Would make things easier, since you can't do it any longer in MDV.

I am waiting to hear from Avid Support on another issue,

so that may be an opportunity to ask about this.

Herding cats, indeed!
