From what you describe, Premiere Pro already has you covered. It’s weaknesses are:
1) instability on larger projects (20+ hours of footage), especially if you load up on cpu heavy codecs like DSLRs, etc
2) poor trim tools, making fine adjustments annoying and more time consumingBoth of those issues have apparently been solved in CS6, but you could easily operate on 5.5 from what you describe. The beautiful AE round tripping is what’s going to save you the most time though.

Quoted for truth.

They don’t say that it doesn’t work, they just don’t support it. Ie. if you call support to complain about something, they won’t answer you because you’re not running a system/OS that they have tested.

Last year I cut an entire 1 hour TV show on my macbook pro with Media Composer 6. An iMac is quite similar hardware, so as far as Avid is concerned this is a no brainer. Good for him – smart move.

It leaves FPX in the same position as it’s always been.

From the looks of it, CS6’s trim is the closest thing to an Avid trim clone that I’ve seen. The guy in the demo uses a the mouse more than he needs to (probably for visual entertainment sake) – but it looks like they just did a feature-for-feature copy of Avid.
The only difference I see is that they haven’t done the “rock and roll” feature. This is exactly why that editor couldn’t get the exact frame in that video :p looks like he needs that feature.

Nice. My macbook pro has one of the videocards that they specify for OpenCL.

I just bought BCC8 separately for MC6. Drag.
I hope they kill MC and just stick to the Symphony line.

If you’re running software-only, is the only different between MC and Symphony the secondary color correction?

Even Pixar uses Avid. I don’t think he really cared all that much.
