OK, you didn't say HS so I'll take 50% of that back. however I see the same thing at colleges which I do find unacceptable for people who are paying for those classes. yes I did have to buy my kid a upper end laptop for college last year, and yes they can require certain apps be installed for certain classes. with student discounts its not a bad deal. FCP X is ok if you are just doing web videos, but when you need to do stuff for broadcast ( however its delivered ) its a different ball game which is something you didn't clarify. PP CC is now #1 in market share for seats in use and revenue. if your school district can't cover $2500-$3000 it probably has far more serious problems which I'm sorry to hear.

I am going to be teaching career and technical education classes in Graphic Design and Video Production at our local high school and they cannot afford Adobe CC educational pricing in any of its forms. So we will be teaching FCPX/Motion instead of Premiere/After Effects. We are still on Adobe CS2 (running on Windows 7 in BootCamp because it does not run on OSX 7 and to be compatible with a Roland Vinyl Cutter) and Photoshop Elements 6. We are not alone by any means. >> >> you know the entire point of CC is that everyone stays current, and gets more frequent updates. the entire we're on CS2/3/4 goes out the window and everyone is on CC now. in fact I think its a very serious disservice to the students to be teaching them FCP X / Motion as the primary apps because they just don't have market share. you'd be better off using FCP7 because that resembles most other NLE's. I suppose whats worse is that the students may well have adobe CC on their own laptops. I've seen that a lot. you know those kids are paying perfectly good money to learn whats current and relevant and not be using apps that are 6 or 7 years old. why not simply require the students to have their own machine with CC ? its quite common these days, not different than buying books for a class. >> >> S >> +---End of message---+ >> To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> > > +---End of message---+ > To unsubscribe send any message to <ae-list-off@media-motion.tv> |
