It would be great if you could control the interval time that it takes to pop up.

The title tool trick the Steve mentioned works great. Also, one thing I find incredible handy, is to keep a bin stored on your desktop and cloud that serves as a utility bin. Inside that utility bin I have black slugs, bars/tone sequences, slates and any other “quick grab” stuff I might need. From within any project I can open that utility bin and then I have everything I need.

I agree with Mr Hancock. I use 3D warp for most common tasks.

I have used avid systems since before the Meridian days. Mostly though Media Composer running on adrenaline and Nitris DX boxes. I guess this makes me something of a new by but with around 10 years of daily avid usage I consider myself relatively seasoned. 

I was one of those who became increasingly frustrated with Avid, as was the trend, at the turn of the century. I looked to systems like discreet’s (now autodesk,) media 100,  and even the evil adobe premiere 6.5. 

My reasons were the same as everyone else’s. Avid had become arrogant and untouchable. Support was horrible… and horribly expensive and the media composer updates continually failed to impress. 

Along come final cut pro with all the “coolness” of apple behind it. It turned out to be great… editors liked and could afford it… an the rest is history. 

Avid, The tides have shifted and the ball is now in your court. So many great things can be said of your company and new attitude… especially since around the release of MC 3.5. You have been responsive and proactive in turning your company around and I thank you for that. But just remember that you can be the king for a day but a whore for a week. 

I know many shops that are looking to turn off the FCP switch. And if you play the cards right your won’t lose to adobe.

Man, Avid I’m rooting for you… but  neither mine, nor most professional editors, allegiance lies with anyone. I sure as hell would love to be a fly on the wall during the avid marketing meetings.

I have had no problem with this combo at all.

HDMI is notorious for causing this delay

Can you apply it to a 3D motion path?

With the IT rulers reigning over your land do you have to capacity to download software or will that land you in the stocks?

Well I guess it’s give and take once again. However, I am impressed with the other upgrades to MC5. Especially the smart tool and real time audio channel strips. Multichannel is cool too.
