I feel that the Mercury Engine is technically amazing. It will play almost any codec/resolution/frame rate in realtime with little to no problems. It really cuts down on the time needed to transcode mass amounts of media. For that, it’s truly revolutionary and big leap forward. But personally, I think the interface is a bit clunky and I don’t feel it’s the most fluid platform to edit on. But maybe I just need to dedicate more time to using it.
The best thing I found to help the transition was that you can load a different keyboard from Avid or Final Cut and all of the shortcuts are the same. Finding that was a BIG help 🙂
Thanks!
