    Come on, leave your avid, dumped the datebase so it looks like you’re/its doing something.
    I’m off back home to see my family in the east of england. Cheers for all your help over the year. See you next year.

    Merry Christmas, man.
    We are stayin home this season. We always head back to Dallas but this year we aint goin anywhere. I’m stayin in my undies and the kids are tacklin presents under da tree from us and santa.
    Only takin 2 daze off but they are well deserved.
    I am finding this adrenaline adds alot of hours to my day.
    Not sure I can keep this thing. FCP is lookin gooooood right now.

    NOT WORKING! 🙂

    My 8 year old niece really needs someone to set up her electric trains, so that is as technical as I get on Christmas.

    Merry Christmas to all.

    Mostly staying home this year. Went back to Lubbock last year. Will go to daughters for awhile Christmas Eve, going to future son-in-laws parents for Christmas dinner. I am taking Friday and Monday off. I need a rest.

    I’m curious as to how the Adrenaline is adding hours (if ya don’t mind elaborating). We just bought two because we couldn’t deal with hours being spent trying to uprez on FCP. Our purchase decision was based on Cow postings regarding FCP Media Manager horror stories. But I suppose if your work is mostly shortform and you don’t have to uprez then FCP would be a better solution.

    But I am curious to know what kind of problems we may be in for.

    Happy Holidays!

    It’s just a buggy little beast. Makes me cranky by the end of the day. Little things like having to reset the openGL card becuse the composer window on the computer monitor stop playing video are really not that little in a 10 hour day.
    I shouldn’t say it adds hours to the day. Just makes it seem like it.

    Oh yeah, I had that too. Very annoying. But I also hated having to reboot the mac when FCP’s edit to tape decided it didn’t want to insert with any timecode accuracy. Among other things:)

    I guess there’s bugs everywhere. Just different species.
