Without qustion, DeWolfemusic.com offers the most bang for the buck. All real musicians and they haggle. They’ll let ya pay one blanket fee per production. This is invaluable if you are the check-writer and the button-pusher. To be able to create without counting needledrops really frees up creativity.

Sounds like some user settings have been changed. Check your settings for nesting. Meanwhile, you can always just step into the old way.

It’s not a good idea unless you are a film editor. Many studios hire only union crews A-Z for feature films. If working in Hollywood, I suggest it. If you are a video editor, man you’ll be cutting your income into a small fraction by going union. Forget the dues, I’m talking set hourly rates alone. Here, union editors get about 25 bucks an hour. Freelancers are closer to 75 an hour. To pay to be limited… kind of wack in my eyes.

So would down-grading product line and lying about what it does, brother. Having their clientele beta test for em is their downfall. Test themselves then release when ready (really ready) and I don’t see a problem with price point. I certainly didn’t when I purchased Adrenaline. It was after I purchased it I realized I got hosed.

It’s his production. He hired you to be the button pusher. Push em.
Charge twice as much next time. -
[Shane Ross] “Avid isn’t going to go away. Too many post facilities, TV production and new production facilities and television and film productions rely on it.”
This has been Avid’s thinking. Hence the drop in position. Truth is, all of those workflows rely on edit solutions and the truth is there are rapidly becoming more viable solutions.
For me personally, it’s not so much their decline in product as others have grown (though that is a factor to consider), it’s their dishonesty through this growing pain process. It makes it veeery hard for folks like me to roll the dice on things like MC4 (the new MC 4, not the first one 😉
The fact that their a dice-rolling factor at all says alot about where they are. Mix that with the massive and understandable distrust they have created and, well, folks get laid off.
I think every indistry ahs two kinds of companies. Those who play for keeps and those who are temporary. I don’t see Avid as a for keeps kind of company anymore. -
[Scott Carnegie] “Cutting Media Composer pricing by 50% isn’t an effort? C’mon”
Would you as a user or owner not rather have better quality and more options? An admission that thier products are worth half of what they tried to first reem their client base for is hardly a step in the right direction.
…in my opinion, of course. -
[Scott Carnegie] “The Avid bashing going on in this thread is unwarranted”
I guess it depends on perspective. To me, their lyeing in attempt to move product that isn’t ready is plenty warrant for negative feedback. If they didn’t expect this, they are veeeery bad at their gigs. -
reinvoice em for the balance. It is a slap in your face that they’d pay an atty to mail you letters before paying you what is owed. Simply let them know that you can’t spend time looking for files until the balance is paid. You can explain the files situation after getting paid.
