I do wish there were better alternatives for each and every app in the CC. The only one that's competently matched is Premiere. Pixelmator is good, but Mac/OSX

I do wish there were better alternatives for each and every app in the CC. The only one that's competently matched is Premiere. Pixelmator is good, but Mac/OSX only. It also doesn't have adjustment layers, meaning that if I want a layer to be black and white, I'd have to open it up separately, desaturate, then import it back in as a new layer, delete the old one and rearrange. They finally have a 16bit color, and apparently the content aware fill is coming.

I'd love to know where the idea came from that Mac OS X has a slash in it somewhere. I've seen Mac/OSX, and I've seen Mac OS/X. I reckon it's probably because of OS/2. People sometimes call the Playstation 2 the "PS/2" as well, which is all kinds of wrong. No slashes in OS X!

  I think it was being used the same way as people write PC/Windows, or perhaps Unix/Linux.

Wait, what... where is Premiere matched? I am tied to Windows because of CC. Namely, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects and AME - all Adobe. If Adobe only ported their stuff to linux then I could switch completely. Autodesk already has me covered with Maya and other tools, The Foundry as well, FadeIn is a great alternative to Final Draft (although I bought both)... I only need Adobe CC alternatives, especially Premiere - or AVID to port MediaComposer.

  Sony Vegas Pro is decent.

    Edius is decent too, not close to MC or Premiere though, but neither Vegas or Edius have Linux versions. Only, close enough, app that is on Linux is Lightworks - yet it is cumbersome to work with.

As I said elsewhere in the thread, I believe that Nuke is a more than capable After Effects replacement - although it's a LOT more expensive. I wouldn't agree with Premiere being particularly well matched by anything else - what are you thinking of?

  Final Cut is what I was thinking of, along with something else that hasn't been mentioned. Avid I think?
