I t was not my intention to start rumors, but rather to hear your opinion on those rumors that make sense to me.
I have to apologize for the “blanket statement” about SD cards, though. It is true that some semiprofessional and some professional camcorders use SD cards. With an xpress slot and a adapter those can be ingested though, which does not work the other way round for SxS cards on an SD slot for example.
I never mentioned that I wanted to edit on a 15” notebook. I use it mainly for ingesting, backup and the occasional rough-cut in the field.
Switching editing-systems ist not a trivial task, as some posters suggested. There is bags of terabytes of media, project-files, tons of money spent on plugins and hardware that makes a switch a bag of hurt no matter in which direction you are migrating.
That is the reason why I want to put the money on the right horse. It’s also true that an editing system will work, even when it is no longer made by the manufacturer, but no 3rd party development will commence and that 3rd party software is one of the reasons FCP is such a widespread NLE.
