It seemed inevitable that they'd eventually charge more for upgrades. And as long as it's a reasonable price, I don't see a huge problem with it. As a potential user though I definitely hope it's not a subscription. I already have to pay for a sub for Photoshop (the alternatives just weren't working for me) and that genuinely pains me. I'd like to avoid having to pay a subscription fee for my NLE, too! As a Final Cut Pro user I keep expecting that Apple will charge for an upgrade, but I am guessing they're waiting for a major version update to do it. -

I'm about 80% there with you, but if the so-called "AI" tools are also for things like making smarter masks/object tracking in Resolve, I'll gladly take it. I have 0 interest in generating random lamp posts in my footage, but for my last short film, I spent a bunch of hours doing object tracking manually for somebody's eyes to turn them black when she gets possessed because when I tried the automatic tracking, the machine kept losing track of them. When I looked online to see how to improve the hit rate for automatic tracking, the general advice seemed to be "adjust some parameters and try again and keep doing that until it's tolerable." If there's some machine learning model that makes it track like super duper well, I'd even consider paying a small upcharge for it. As it is, I'm probably going to pay more than that to have a real special effects person do it because my end results are a bit trash (though thankfully most people watching don't comment on how the blackened eyes are shifting on the face a little bit). -
It doesn’t interest me either. I’d rather see out whatever remains of my career being ‘authentic’ and even if this means stopping a year or two short, then so be it. ”Look what I made!” What you mean is look at what AI made for you, but don’t kid yourself it was any talent that you had. It is almost certainly the future but I want no part of that future. -

"I'm getting too old for this shit. I'm only two weeks away from my retirement." I'm gonna be one of those craft people that refuses to use AI. Damn the consequences. This all sucks. As a documentarian, even something supposedly innocuous like audio transcribing is causing more inadvertent issues than it's solving. It's really getting in my way holistically -- although it "feels" like it's helping in the moment. It divorces me from the nuances and intimacy of the material. How can I be expected to make anything meaningful to the audience or to myself if I allow an algorithm to make crafting determinations, even the simplest ones? Tools are tools, but when the tools diminish rather than enhance? That's a recipe to being superficial. I don't think I want to be superficial. Unless I'm doing corporate bull shit for the pay day. But then, the corporations using AI can now (or soon) cut me out of that calculus anyway. Get off my lawn you damn machines. -
