Very sad indeed. I have spent the last 14 years working on DS. And yes, it has been long overdue for a re-write. No question it has suffered as file-based acquisition has taken over. Once you have ingested everything in DS there are very few edit systems with it’s power. Yes, the 3D sucks but we never relied on DS for 3D. At one point we had 7 systems cranking out over 7,000 commercials a year for GM. They were rock solid and never failed us. We use Premiere, MC and FCP as well but nothing has the all-in-one power of DS. Thanks to Sylvan for all his support through the years.
