From: scarroll on 1 Apr 2008 02:24 So does anyone know, heard, or have any guesstimates as to when we'll see Director 12!? I'd love to see a version of Director that has full features like HLSL in DirectX9, etc. Maybe by the time DirectX12 hits the market too!?
From: mikromidas on 1 Apr 2008 08:58 There are many apps in Adobe's portifolio that I would guess never earns more than 1% of the total sale. It takes some, to compete with Photoshop and Flash. To merit a place, these 'smaller' apps must either be strategically important (for instance sound editor Audition; necessary so that Adobe can argue they indeed have a 'roundtrip' multimedia solution - but the sales isolated are not big by Adobe's standards I'm sure), or somehow earn their place by being cheap to develop while having a high price to market. Director falls into the latter, for the most part. Today I can hardly see Director having much strategic importance for Adobe, so there will be no funding; it simply must live by itself. Director sales must of course be big enough to pay for the Bangalore development team + some more. I think that?s fair enough; even brilliant software that somehow doesn?t meet any real demand, must go. But it well known that it costs money to earn money. Marketing is needed. Marketing is expensive, but with no marketing there will be very few sales. Marketing is not only advertising, it is making the product available for the right people. Boasting Unicode support, which is mostly relevant for developers outside America (and most of western Europe), while blocking the possibility for these to actually buy the upgrade, is self contradicting ?marketing? for sure. I am sure lack of funding for marketing D11 will hurt sales which would recap that funding (and more) later on. Makes no sense. So who?s to blame if D11 flops? It should be given a fair chance first at least. Tell peaple about it! Make it available!
From: Chunick on 1 Apr 2008 11:17 I don't know about you but I'm wondering about Di 13... I'm expecting it to have all the features I'm waiting for including more advanced imaging lingo, image support in text members, full reworking of MUS, OS Controls, etc. :-P A little bit of focus here, people. Director 11 [i]just[/i] came out and if the person/people at Adobe are not completely clueless the next thing you'll see out after Di 11 is a patch or three before Di 12 is even considered.

Upgrades to D11 are only available as a downloadable file through the Adobe site. I purchased D11 without problems, and I live in New Zealand. It doesn't matter where you live, but the price will vary depending on which country you are from. |
