Quick Poll. So what’s your decision?

I used that for a while. Moved to Incite on a Digisuite LE card for a while. But have always pined for the venerable Movieshop on a VLab Motion card in my Amiga 3000T. Those were the days.
Avid MC6 for me these days, and LOVING it!

I enjoyed my time with Incite, background capture was fun

[Steve Connor] “quite disappointed to see it looks almost entirely the same as the old interface I first used all those years ago”
This sort of thing sort of cracks me up; these vendors can’t win for losing. Change it and people scream bloody murder. Don’t change it, and people call you old fashioned.
Truth is, I prefer they don’t change the Avid interface too much as it borders on perfection as it is. What’s changed is under the hood. 64bit awesomeness, with all cores cranking to their full capacity. Lots of RAM. And pretty much any modern video card you want to throw at it for display purposes. I’m LOVING it. Oh, and the new mixer with surround capability, etc. Granted the mixing is very rudimentary, but it’s improving.

“That’s all good and I fully understand why they didn’t change the interface that much, but I never liked the interface when I first starting editing on it.
I do think however it will probably get more conversions from FCPX because of the changes.

I am still using FCP7 and will continue to use it as long as it remains viable. I am not interested in FCP X. I purchased Avid MC 5.5 via the crossgrade promotion and will upgrade to v6 soon. I will eventually transition to using Avid MC for all future projects. MC will allow me to easily transition to Windows-based PC hardware if Apple should discontinue its pro hardware.

This thread is so similar to other almost identical threads posted over the last few days that it just goes round in the same old circles that have been debated over the last few months.
So we had ” to stick with FCP7 or not?” or “if FCP isn’t really for Pros, who is it for?”
The truth is all the key NLEs are simply amazing and are getting exponentially better with each version.
FCPX has however really gone down a totally different track from the others, ruthlessly shedding it’s previous skin, upsetting a load of people on the way.
This is a great forum when it digs deep into the detail of the changes, what works, what doesn’t work, what can be improved.
To simply state NLE preferences promotes a narrow debate that few can learn from.

This forum is chock full of huge and intricate debates that you can learn from, it doesn’t hurt to have the occasional lighter thread

I’m waiting for NewTek’s Video Toaster to come back. I really need that sheep transistion!

after messing around with Adobe and Avid, I went adobe. However Im noticing allot of bugs with the software, still bummed that Apple decided to ignore the people that helped them become what they are today but thats business and that the one thing I wont be giving apple from here on out…
I wear many hats.

Speed Razor 2000!
I had a Speed Razor with a Digisuite LE. Fun machine at the time. A wild concoction. Opened up so many possibilities. Had to go back and use one about four years ago to help somebody out. It was brutal. Amazing what we now take for granted and argue over.
