    Yes, you read that right, I’m wondering about the significant differences between Media Composer FOUR and Media Composer FIVE.

    In particular, I’m wondering about differences in:

    Title Effects
    Marquee Effects
    Effects Palette
    Audio Effects
    Color Correction
    Exporting options

    Any information would be helpful, thanks!

    Biggest difference is the SMART TOOLS. And more AMA options. But the Smart Tools are a SIGNIFICANT change. The SELECT arrows are now in a different location, and that is unsettling to some. You can opt to use the Smart Tools, or not. But simply changing the location of the arrows throws so many editors…and many of them don’t know you can turn off Smart Tools, that they REFUSE to upgrade.

    I think there are some audio options too, on the timeline, that are different, but I haven’t used MC4 in so long, I don’t know what it’s lacking.
