[TImothy Auld] “Enough major monetary players have enough invested in Avid that it is not about to go away. It just may come back under another name.”

No, it won’t go away, but certainly has a chance to be marginalized as a niche product for long form and film folks…which is a nice niche to have for some other company….BMD? hmmm

The stock is down nearly 25% this afternoon. I would term that “negative”.

What about turning the waveforms off for clips in the project timeline?

Ripple Training is an excellent place to get moving on FCPX.

[TImothy Auld] “But also, FCPX is still, after several years, unreliable.”

[david james] “Whats the point in color correcting your footage if once uploaded it looks completely different?!”

To have at least some control over the final product!

You are exactly right, Chris. What you do is exactly what Avid/Media Composer is great at. In fact, I was just consulting with a colleague who is setting up a broadcast-like shared environment and I absolutely suggested that Avid was his best bet, no matter what my opinion is of the speed. But, that in itself does not make it the best choice or the best platform for every visual storyteller. There’s a big world outside of LA.

[Aindreas Gallagher] “that still is my basic position on it”

We get it Andy. You’re a Premiere person and that’s cool. Not even sure why you continue to post on this forum.
