Mediacomposer vs. XPress Pro
Hi
We are a small postproduction house, that a based on Final Cut Pro and MAC.
Now we want to build a AVID suite, for those of our customers who insist on editing on AVID.
The suite will therefore primarily be used by external editors.
We will try to keep the avid suite as an “offline suite”.
We mostly produce on Varicam, HDV, IMX and DV and use DigiBeta for tv-mastering.
I have been editing on AVID mediacomposer myself several years ago (still a litle bit), but have lost track on the AVID products that are availiable right now.
I can see that AVID sells a Mediacomposer software only or with a mojo.
My question is: what are the main difference on XPress an Mediacomposer software only (mojo).
I know there are som issues with the interface.enlighten me 🙂
regards

XPro: single stream of RT 1:1 uncompressed (your choice of that stream being for graphics/titles, or video–one or the other, but not both). Mojo and Mojo SDI support.
Media Composer: more DV and 1:1 streams in RT (dependent upon storage abilities). More format support (IMX, DNxHD, etc.), access to software-only, Mojo, Mojo SDI, or Adrenaline support (with or without the DNxcel hardware option, for increased HD abilities). Paint, animated masking, motion-tracking, SpectraMatte (16-bit HD/SD keyer), full Timewarp/Fluidmotion effects, better i/o’s with Adrenaline, etc.
XPro is very good, but MC–no matter what version–is better.
