Thanks. Since Avid throws up no obstacles to working easily, the focus, like with a good musical instrument, becomes about what creative ideas and technical skills the editor can bring to his/her work.

I was at Avid’s event at Warner Brothers in Burbank a few days ago. They reaffirmed my appreciation for the company and the quality of its flagship product, Media Composer. I don’t want or believe there exists the potential for a much better editing program. Just like a fine musical instrument, Avid’s software does and will continue to do exactly what I want it to. Along the way, it naturally has and will continue to adjust to new formats and third party products. But the core editing paradigm has remained and will continue to be the same, because it’s designed very well for efficiency and flexibility, and doesn’t need fixing.

[Gregorio Paolini] “Why we didn’t send our API before? Ehi dude there is a new iPhone going to launch, don’t bother me!”

We promise: as soon as you ‘ll come back to school everything will be fine.”

Thanks for those and many more laughs!

“……..Packard Bell, Compaq, Seagate, Quantum and many others, are gone…….”

Seagate is far from gone. Still the same publicly-traded drive manufacturer it’s been for years. In fact, today:

I don’t like some of the petition wording or tone either, but maybe it’s worth signing because it conveys the basic displeasure of FCP editors, and has the momentum of many signatures behind it already. Obviously Apple isn’t bound to any of the petition’s provisions, but they might take positive steps based on the overall message it sends.
