btw.. I havent missed any deadlines or failed to deliver because i wouldnt use this on a paid freelance job, Unless the client asked for it, and i fully explained to him the consequences of it. Ive simply been putting it through the paces, doing tutorials, and LEARNING the software to see if i liked it, and while theres stuff i like, theres way more stuff i dont.

[Bill Davis] “Really?
I’d be interested in your reasoning supporting the above comment Neil.
I’ve finished and delivered 17 paid projects to date and not one of them missed deadline because of anything I can attribute to the software.
Yes, actual learning is required to operate this software. And no, it’s not perfect. But to describe it as “buggy as all hell” nearly totally miss-represents the state of the software in my experience as a daily user.
To my thinking “bugs” are repeatable flaws in software code that are reproducible, universal, and stop the user from being able to do things they need to do. “Bugs” technically aren’t missing features, or elements that software A does that software B does not.
Do you use it regularly? If so, where are these “bugs” causing you grief? Are they show stoppers, or merely annoyances? Have you missed deadlines?
We’re all here essentially learning about the software so I’d like to know what you can factually contribute to the discussion.
You say you’ve experienced this software as “buggy” and I’d like to know how and why.
“You said it best in your original post. When i meant buggy as hell its the constant beachballs i and a bunch of other people in this same thread are getting when doing the simplest things, or trying to use long clip and or long sequences/timelines, whatever they are called now. Its the slowness and sluggishness of it. Im perfectly sure you can deliver your projects on time, but that doesnt mean its not a buggy program.
I have taken the time to learn the software, its not rocket science. I understand the difference bewteen it and legacy and how it takes a different approach. Its no excuse for beach balls all the time.

Its definitely made as an “end of the chain” device. Even the higher end TB box they have has only one port, and i think AJA’s is the only i/o thunderbolt box available with 2 ports.
I have mine hooked up to a 27inch Imac with the following config.
TB port one has my asus 27 inch moniter connected via mini display to hdmi
Port 2 has a Lacie little big disk thunderbolt drive, with the extreme daisy chained to it. Works great, but yes, if i plan on keeping the Asus 27inch, my expandability is pretty much maxed, unless i get another drive with pass through.

yea it sounds to me like thats making excuses for buggy software.. dont get me wrong, 10.3 was a big leap in the right direction with the obvious additions of multi cam and beta monitoring, but its still buggy as all hell.

i think its different for everyone, but mostly i see people sticking with the stock layout of the keyboard, and then i use the shift and command keys to make whatever additional ones i need. The layout is def different from FCp but after time youll get used to it. I find the stock KB layout pretty intuitive.

Thanks for the update. Excited to get my hands on one. All over the website it advertises its compatibility with Avid MC 6.o and up. Can you confirm its been certified ?
Im using a Deckling 2 card in a mac pro at work and everything seems fine under the BM Desktop 9.1 drivers. Can i expect the same results with the intensity extrme?

Command 0 is timeline.. Command 4 is Source/Record. Bins escape me at the moment but you can do the same up down arrow, enter to load clip to source as in FCP.
