Uhm… he asked specific questions not relating to Avid vs FCP. The others pulled that one from him – and he is a troll? Mark – let us be fair. He did say he is no expert and he is very clear (line by line) on his needs/wants. Relax Mark.

In NYC anytime soon?

Have yet to attend one of your seminars Michael.

The choice also exist on newer Meridien (version 12) and Symphony systems.
It all comes down to how the audio is recorded.
Read Michael Phillip’s (of Avid) article for EGM –

Its true. No point of messing around with the wrong OS.

I would use Animation codec for delivery. It does create large files but guarantees great quality – no matter the platform. And it prevents the client from coming back to you about recompression.

There is no Adrenaline codec per se. For SD, Adrenaline uses Meridien based compression and DV25/DV50. Just download the Meridien codec –

[Chill] “Um, I’m not sure where to begin with that. I don’t know about you, but in my world,”
Why not use the deck? It is pointless to tie up a system just to black the tape. I mean there so many other features you can discuss.
Yes QT is easier to generate with FCP, but FCP is horrendous for media management. So that is a give and in my opion a lot of take.
Rendering in Avid is actually smarter. You can view lower tracks without losing render files. You can mix media types in the timeline. Working in 24p/film is easier. Real time moving alpha channels. Better motion FX control. Better color correction. etc.
But yes you have some valid claims. However, the biggest and I think the most valid is FCP’s affordability to move from DV all the way up to uncompress HD. The rest of you the technical stuff? It depends…

Being QT does not guarantee you the ability to import them in to a PC Avid. You need to check the codec. Not all QT codecs are available in the PC – like DV50 and Apple’s uncompress.
Also, you may have to go through recompression in order to work with it.Usually, batch capture would be a better route – unless working with DV25 material.
