I’m just saying it’s very odd “the best editor on the planet” doesn’t do what’s the norm for the past 10-12 years in UI-design does. I’m not talking about futuristic stuff, just normal, preferably not ugly, UI’s. It creates a more pleasant environment to work in. And yes, I’m probably one of the more picky users when it comes to UI’s. FCPX I can speak about how effective it is – it does come to a crawl the times I’ve tested it which it’s very promising.

AVID can do a lot of things but they seriously can’t deal with streaming media / files on the web. Those look horrible sadly and you can judge anything from them.

Another link you put up showed the dreaded truth though.

Odd a program from 2011 still looks like that.

I get that for sure.

I asked in anther thread as well but is the UI of MC6 still “old looking” as in all text isn’t anti-aliaised? If so, can you fix that? I’d hate to jump back 15 years in time staring at fuggly fonts all day long.

Is the AVID UI still aliaised or have they finally updated to an anti-aliaised, year 2000, look? It seems from a few screen-shots a lot to the lists still feel like I’m sitting on a Mac from 1996 a la OS9.

No, I have a hard time seeing why we’d go with Symphony at all. Are the other “online-type-tools” better? Motion tracking? Effects?

Normally I go FCP > COLOR > AE > FCP or FCP > COLOR > FCP if not FX-shot are in the mix currently. I’m about to evaluate Resolve Lite but I think we’d go with the big brother as soon as we upgrade to the correct hardware (wrong GPU, video card and somewhat slow machine at the moment).

Thanks!

Basically we could have 1 media composer + Da Vinci Lite as our “offline / edit” suite an a Symphony + Da Vinci as our “online suite” I guess. Seems the premium cost for Symphony might not be worth it for us though. We’ll see.

What is the big advantage of Symphony over Media Composer? I’ve got a hard time seeing in bullets why I should choose the 6K app over the 1.5K app (since I’m an FCP user currently)?

Media Composer or Symphony with DaVinci and After Effects on the same system seems like a nice solution to FCP / Color / After Effects.

October 31, 2011 at 10:14 pm in reply to: Say it ain’t so. Apple wouldn’t do this to us would they?

Relatively to the iPad yes, the MacPro sale probably are horrific. Yet it’s at the moment a unique computer in Apple line-up. If they kill it they effectively kill an entire pro market for use of their computer.

What would make sense is transform the MacPro to a mix of a high-end iMac and an xServe. The base model could / should be base on i5/i7 CPU’s instead of Xeon for example. Boxx does it and Apple could learn a lot from them.

I would hate to have to use Windows as my primary working OS or “hack-a-mac” to make it work there.

Apple is on an all-time high and they start killing off what took them there? I don’t get it. Let’s hope this is just speculation.

Sadly the Matrox box won’t output from DaVinci. BMD I think said at the launch of Resolve for OSX i/o freedom would come at some point but it seems not so yet at least.

I can’t speak about the computer monitor of choice. We’re likely going for NEC monitors at work (Specra View EU-series).

The developer Imagineer Systems website hosts a lot of how to do’s free of charge.

Have a look here:

Also have a look here:

You can view them online, save them and a few of them even have source-files you can work with. Mocha and Mocha Pro are quite easy to get into once you get your mind around how it works. Brilliant software for rotoscope-work.
