That was just what I was thinking, Scott. Why don’t we also have a public forum where Ford, Toyota, and BMW owners line up and argue about which car is the best?
And…if anyone goes to this event, what will they aim to get out of it? Proof that their particular NLE is the “best of breed”? Validation that they chose the correct NLE? A convincing argument to dump their current NLE? I don’t get it…

Is there going to be a protest by DaVinci Resolve editors?
-
Not the editors, but with a “DP” debating a “Preditor” about editing, shouldn’t they maybe add a sound designer and a colorist to discuss NLE interfaces as an add on? Mark, that would get DeVinci included for sure.!
(Just teasing of course, Scott Simmonds is a great guy and I’m sure he will get VERY qualified participants on both sides. Will be interesting to watch what they say if it’s recorded.)

Yes to both points, but it’s the principle of the thing. 😉

Agreed. This seems pretty silly. Hell, just send everyone a link to this forum and let it go from there….
