Activity Forums Avid Media Composer Piloteware vs Interplay

  • Piloteware vs Interplay

    Posted by Jason Mullen on October 5, 2009 at 9:44 pm

    We’re about to start a new reality series (like everyone else on the planet), and I was wondering if anyone has any feed back about pilotware vs Interplay? Any issues or even ease of use. We would be using Avid Media Composer V.3 or higher (haven’t decided on that yet) on PC’s. Media would be stored on a Lanshare or Unity.
    Any helpful info from someone who’s used either of these would be great.
    cheers

    They are too different beasts.

    Interplay is a shared way of working with lots of assorted media.

    Pilotware is more of an advanced logging program. You will benefit more form Pilotware for a Reality show than you will from Interplay.

    Thanks Terence,
    Pilotware seems to be fixed towards a final cut world. Is there any lag or issues with Avid or is she a smooth running train:)

    Not true at all. I personally know a lot of Avid Reality houses who swear by Pilotware.

    Out of curiosity, any Avid houses swearing by Mesoft as an alternative to Pilotware?

    The only one I know of personally is Matchframe Video in Burbank… but that could be because they were financial partners with MeSoft. :-0
