point taken. brings it back to what this discussion is about – hardware is closing in between platforms. the only thing separating the software is a few things like stability, feature sets, and a lot of bucks…

i think i’d prefer to have a DS to an Axio…anyday…

i think the i/o that aja and blackmagic have are possibly superior to the adrenaline bob…but if avid gives that up…too much money down the drain!

thanks…any other views?

grinner is right…FCP is about competition and competition is about affording choice to the end users. The gaps are closing in, and when production companies are looking at upgrading not one, but several Avid machines – FCP makes a lot of sense and dollars. No-one’s estimated the cost of FCP on Avid’s business.

I’d like to see better adaptability along Avid’s product line which is now has more bugs than it has for a while. FCP isn’t perfect, but for the price, it’s damn good value.

primatte works faster as i recall and another one we use is zmatte from http://www.digitalfilmtools.com. ultimatte is the most comprehensive toolset but is more complex.

everything rendernyc says is on track. we have a copy of ultimate advantedge and dongle for sale – drop me a line here if the download works for you. it’s too complex for our needs and it’s been collecting dust on the shelf, so we’d be glad to let it go for much less than the new price!

cheers
