[James Culbertson] “Hey, that’s why I prefer FCPX as well. Which editor today cannot connect to shared storage or to a client monitor? Premiere?”
No, Premiere can do both…

[Joseph W. Bourke] “Shawn –
It sounds to me as if they’re a VNR producer, just a step above a sausage factory, but without the taste.”
Sounds right, I like the way you describe it. 🙂

[Franz Bieberkopf] “On a wider note, I’ve watched the video and I’m still not sure what these people do.”
I thought it was a canned news service… send them a story and they’ll polish up your copy, shoot a “reporter” telling the story, add b-roll and graphics and then send it out via the news aggregates… I assumed that because they mentioned “delighting customers like Microsoft, AOL/Huffuington Post and Mashable”… I don’t think they investigate and vet stories, as much as they polish up and distribute them. That’s my guess anyway.

[Lance Bachelder] “I’m fairly mid-sized, 6’2″, 230lb and I use Vegas! Have for 13 years and though, like FCPX, it has it’s shortcomings, it’s still by far the best NLE when it comes to audio. Matter of fact I just installed a new Blue Sky Sky One surround system and will mix all my shows in 5.1 in Vegas regardless of the NLE I use. I’ve cut many a show in Vegas including the Emmy winning Back at the Barnyard for Nickelodeon – it’s a weird and wonderful NLE and rumor has it it may be ported to Mac…”
I guess by that standard I’m also mid sized. 😉 Seriously though, I think it’s cool that you’ve done so much broadcast work using Vegas, and I completely agree with you regarding its audio capabilities. I’m just wondering what the uptake is like these days. I do hope that Vegas get’s ported to the Mac as well, it would be good to see Sony spreading out a bit more and making the NLE market even more competitive. My daydream is that someday we’ll all have a lot more hardware and software choices, and that our work will be connected by open standards media and exchange formats.
I know some people want the whole creative community to have a single vendor for everything from their mobile phones to their NLEs to their television sets… but man, what a recipe for disaster! Would love to see Vegas sell a LOT of seats on the Mac… and hopefully on Linux too someday. 🙂

[Jeremy Garchow] “You mean Amanda?
She’ll be back in a year. ;)”
Hadn’t you heard? She’s back now. 🙂
“And you’ll all be happy to know our darling Amanda is back with us, safe and sound. She has changed a little. She’s less talkative than before (though she had some choice words for me when I asked her to clean her room). And she’s started wearing eye make-up, which has Peg a bit concerned. But welcome to thirteen, I guess. We’re just glad to have her home. And she loves the TV. That’s the main thing. In fact, she spends so much time in front of it lately, you’d swear she owns it.”

[Shane Ross] “I don’t want to lose an entire wall of my living room to a big ass TV screen.”
I don’t either… at least, that’s what my wife tells me. 😉

[Bob Zelin] “FCP-X is one of the tools that is available today, in addition to AVID Media Composer, Adobe Premiere, legacy FCP7 (and I guess a few Vegas and Edius users).”
Just out of curiosity, are you seeing Vegas in any mid sized post houses ‘out there’? I’ve always liked Vegas and thought that it was one of the most underestimated NLEs of all time, especially when it comes to audio mixing and mastering. But I sometimes wonder if its made any real traction in broadcast and independent film.

And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn’t for you meddlin’ kids!
