Adding video handling/editing capabilities would increase size of binaries linked to executable, increasing already present problems with performance and memory consumption. My vote is a NO, it's better to specialize first.
I see. Well, occasionally I imported videos into C1 without wanting it and never tried to do anything with them, as for cutting, color-grading, speed alterations... it's simply not C1's home playground, I thought. And never tried what I could do with a video.
Now I did. Except playback - nothing else. Ok, I do the simple video edits in quicktime or iMovie so far. Not too happy with it, but everything else just needs more practising than I'm willing to invest.
JoJu I don't disagree with you. I'm not suggesting C1 should make a change of course, it could never compete with DaVinci or any of the others. What it could do to be helpful would be to recognise the hybrid nature of current and future workflows - how about simply being able to keyword, colour tag or star rate video files?
And Lightroom can edit video - I can edit video on my ancient Samsung phone with the current version. And you could edit video in Lightroom as far back as LR4 in 2012. Simple editing only - but trimming and basic colour correction were available then. And a quick shove across to Photoshop 6 (similar vintage) made rough cuts more than capably.
374088620918 at first, C1 has a huge backlog of improvement suggestions of their edtor and DAM part, some of them for a couple of months or year. Name any company which successfully left their core competence and started with a complete new branch? Or just added another branch to their portfolio? You mention Kodak, I recall Samsung trying to get into camera business with some interesting models. Also a couple of camera brands like Minolta, Contax/Yashica, Ricoh (when there were Ricoh instead of Pentax cameras) dipping their toes into digital imagery tried and failed spectacularly.
What could C1 as a newcomer possibly bring to the table a product like DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, FinalCut or any other already exisiting video centric app are missing? Not to mention support not only for still image bodies but for countless video cameras as well?
There's a saying "nothing is impossible for somebody who doesn't have to do it himself". Think for just an eye-blink long: why does Lightrrom have no video capabilities?
You need some video centric devs for that development. You're paying their salaries, right? Because I don't want to.
With almost all pro photogs needing to shoot video as part of their jobs/contracts for sports, weddings, news, events these days, C1 should maybe be thinking about some video lite capabilites. Even just basic handling of video file would help. Remember Kodak? That was a company that thought it was in the film making business, when it should have realised it was in the image production industry and did not fully grasp the future direction of travel. Video is not new. It's not niche, and it is not going away.
