[Craig Seeman] “Granted Avid doesn’t seem to support 4K sources yet as I understand it.”
Small correction here: Avid supports 4k sources, it simply downconverts everything to 1080 or 720 for output. So I guess technically your statement should be: “Avid doesn’t support 4k output yet.” I do believe they’re working on resolution independence, however, based on a recent conversation I had with one of their engineers.

Then of course there’s this…
Ah, now THAT’s refreshingly organized and professional looking.

At the risk of being obvious, are you running into a situation where a clip on another track is colliding with another clip? In Avid, unlike in say FCP X, clips won’t move out of the way, so every collision needs to be dealt with by applying a single-sided trim to them too.

+1000 for Marianne. I too put Avid at the top of the heap with regards to customer service because of her.

I think he’s merely saying that internet content can no longer be considered “non-professional” in general. And he’s right. If you’re making content and you’re getting paid for it, then it’s professional work. There are certainly MANY projects that FCP X is the perfect tool for. There are also many projects that I wouldn’t use it for. Like a carpenter’s toolbox, there are special tools for special needs.

Ahhhh, it just never grows stale around here. 🙂

Gotcha. Yeah, that would be helpful on occasion. And you’re correct, Avid doesn’t have a similar function.

[Andy Neil] “I wish to hell that Avid could do an FCPX style replace edit because I find that I need that kind of edit often”
Because I’m not familiar with FCPX’s method of doing this, how does it work? Honestly, I’d be surprised if Avid couldn’t do it.

We’re just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, Craig. Media Composer has the best project sharing on the market, and the core Isis technology facilitates that. I don’t see Isis being of value to other NLEs beyond the basic shared storage; but it’s definitely overkill for that.

Yeah, but it’s kind of a “chicken and egg” scenario, too. While neither company has a product to compete with Isis, neither company has a product that can take advantage of Isis like Media Composer, either (user permissions automatically dealt with in shared projects, etc.) I think Avid needs both to be successful and to differentiate themselves from the competition at a certain level.
