Fascinating – you see the future focus on distribution, rather than creation.

Thanks!

Flash: Ping now linked to Twitter. Pressure’s on Facebook to deal with Apple. Music will be promoted via viral/social means as never before. Video is next. Promotion and distribution as we’ve known it are over. “Recommendation” and “curation” are the new kings. Even Google is capitulating.

What’s this got to do with FCS? Apple’s video tools will become a front end for their ad and distribution network, driven by their new data center(s). Producers will now serve consumers directly, fulfilling Steve’s customer-centered philosophy for media. Direct-to-consumer *is* good for everyone. However, old-school video pros will have a tough time with this. It takes a web-mentality to understand what’s happening, and Steve has that.

The next FCP won’t be 64-bit or have whizzy new features. It will, however, give producers a market to sell directly to consumers. This is what you want. Trust me

I am looking forward to the (yet unconfirmed) announcement of a new FCS next year, but I’ll be getting a trial-version of Media Composer to be on the safe side right now.

Pushing more than 3 TB worth of media files around on a machine without LOM is not my way of dealing with the valuable ingests I am responsible for. And I was just done with the setup of FCSvr.
