time remapping

[Andy Mees]

its an unknown for the moment Ken … it has been suggested here that this is one of the issues addressed in this update, but even if it has been ‘officially’ fixed, we’ll not know for sure until we try it ourselves. seeing is believing!

I spoke to 2 seperate FCP engineers (actually, I *grilled* them :)) at NAB regarding this issue–as well as the inaccurate recapture of freezeframes–and both of them said that they don’t recall either issue being specifically fixed in FCP5. From all accounts the Media Manager recieved very little attention in the FCP5 upgrade. VERY disappointing…

Of course, as Graeme said, we won’t know until someone tries it…I wasn’t able to test this out for myself at the Apple booth, since they didnt have any decks that I could try a Media Manager/recapture operation on.

As I’ve mentioned before, if Avid wants to lure away fence-sitters from the purple-“A” , they need to get these Media Manager problems fixed. Multicam is cool, but a properly functioning Media Manager is oodles more important to have in FCP, not only from a functionality standpoint, but also from a political/P.R. standpoint.
