“ammunition” for FCP in schools

[Bob Flood]

ben

thats too bad.

even thougth the gear was awful, a lot of people from my class and later went on to do great things.

I think that someone finally gave them some money, and they bought a whole bunch of good gear (one purchase was something like 50 media 100’s). Maybe that was the death knell? good gear and the kids got lazy!

sooo we should all send our old gear to emerson, so as to improve the quality of students that comes from there!! huh? waddya say???

Wow. Just checked back in and I am so appreciative of the responses from the Cow. I greatly appreciate the opinions and suggestions.

I think i’ll send my gear to iran. I bet a few 18 year olds, some film gear could make a hell of a film. what could these american kids do, make a movie about going to hot topic and eating hamburgers at the mall?

lol

i cant stand emerson. I went to VFS (www.vfs.com), seemed like it had a lot less BS associated with it.

a lot has been said about experience, i’m in a good position to help you with info. Not only do I help run a FULL final cut lab (actually 3) with 90+ seats, as well as about 8 specialized rooms, for editing, I’m also a student at the place these labs are run. We have been struggling with avid about getting licensing, system support and enough seats to be useful with media composer. It’s strange, We went from having a base volume license with apple to a FULL upgrade support license in under 15 minutes on the phone with our rep from apple. I spent twice that three times in a row waiting for some one to pick up from avid.

We can give you numbers, we can give you data and facts and 1/3 this, 2/3 that 800,000 here 1,000,000 there. And yes, it’s very impressive as FCP is very easy to use and integrate into multi tasking machines that are for general student population not just students in 2 classes a day. But what really matters to me, is when the shit (excuse the language) hits the fan, and computers stop working, or a new version come out. How long, and how much is it going to take to get avid up to the current level. With my experience dealing with the ‘educational reps’ from both companies, as well as a dozen other top companies in our field. Apple is up there as the best. The only other companies that have ever been so quick to help are promax and newteck.

if you want to contact me for more feel free to do so.
