That’s kinda cool. I’d play with that to see what it is.

Yeah I’d heard of this company in the past but never seen their “pro” NLE – looks interesting. Pro RES cutting on a PC? Demo videos a bit lacking…

I just downloaded the demo and gave it a try. I won’t be trying again, I think.

Perhaps you weren’t holding it right.

You’ve got to go to where the puck is going to be.

I mean if you’re scared to embrace change… Well!

Plus the X.X.1 upgrade is going to be AWESOME!

To their credit, it’s been called Video Pro X for years, long before Apple came around with X. Never tried it, although it is not that uncommon in certain segments in Germany.

Germans have made pretty intersting video editing software like DPS (liquid) Movie Pack,Cinegy extreme among others I have used some and they have been ahead of the times.

I did my standard first look tests, remembered from BBC days….

Load a clip (no problem)
Play in source window (oh look, they’re the wrong way round, never mind) – works fine.
Can’t work out how to move the clip to the sequence window, so drop on track. Works ok.
Insert edit from new clip. Mark in and out, good. Mark in on sequence, good. Now, how to insert…..can’t work it out, so go to help file. Help file very unhelpful. Back to application, really can’t work it out. It’s late, give up.

We used to do this stuff at IBC and NAB on as many stands as possible. If the first tests went well, we moved on to “now I’d like to extend just the audio”. That was “in the next release”, but it was the late 90s.

Obviously I’m no good at embracing change etc. As I said somewhere else, I like the accelerator (gas) pedal on the right.
