It'd be great to see that in action. I really like the idea of a sidecar file storing visual metadata, that multiple apps can “see”. It'd be great to see that in action.

I'm always looking for the Next Big Thing, utterly restless when it comes to tech or technique. Drives my boss crazy. I wish I had your practical streak.

But I'm pretty much "take what I can get." Even this little bit helps albeit in the limited toying I've done with it. There are very strong render-less workflows in Pr on Windows via Cineform. Unfortunately until they get their real-time engine working on CS4, those aren't 100% available. <br><br>As it stands, I've been using Cineform for almost a year now and probably won't use anything else. I'm fairly content staying with the company and workflow right now for a variety of reasons. Just like I'm content with my HDV 1/3" camera and Adobe on Mac. It's not without issues but it gets the job done. As I start different projects, I'll look at the options out there. At some point, it has to be good enough. Right?<br><br>You going to NAB this year?

As it stands, I've been using Cineform for almost a year now and probably won't use anything else. I'm fairly content staying with the company and workflow right now for a variety of reasons. Just like I'm content with my HDV 1/3″ camera and Adobe on Mac. It's not without issues but it gets the job done. As I start different projects, I'll look at the options out there. At some point, it has to be good enough. Right?

You going to NAB this year? I'm planning on coming down for a couple days I hope…maybe take a workshop track or get Adobe certified or something :P

Sounds kind of like the way XMP works for RAW images. Video metadata (both visual and other info) is in a terrible state.
