Adobe and Foley (Dave)

Adobe has CS5 out these days. Normally I wouldn't be too excited at the latest iteration, except they've apparently revamped the rendering engine so everything works much faster, along with native 64-bit support. Given the length of the editing on this film, it might have been worth it to wait. Ten times faster project loading time would literally change my entire life.

I'm also intrigued about their claims that they now support real 2 hour length project editing. We've entered the phase on the project where Premiere reliably crashes at least once a day. It did so well for so long, but it's back to its old tricks. I guess we've really pushed its limits and it would be interesting to see how it would perform in CS5, but we're not going to try it now.


Also, Keith Olbermann did an interview with Dave Foley of Kids in the Hall regarding his old communism sketch and how it prophesied Glenn Beck. The sketch itself is of more interest for all you Kenny-philes given its content and some of the specific assertions Mr. Foley makes. Check it out:

Perfect. The greatest trick communism ever pulled was convincing the world it didn't exist... We'll have to see if we can show that as a preview before our film.

Good to see Dave Foley doing something other than TV poker.
