[chris magid] “Yeah. But it has been a long while since you could buy Adrenaline or Nitris DNAs. Unless they are concerned about the used market.”
I think you are missing the bigger picture. How about all the folks still running windows XP. And yes, there are a LOT of them. What if you had a facility with 20 systems on XP and you have contemplating whether it’s worth making the jump to Windows 7? That’s just an example of how some can be impacted by this.

[grinner hester] “sloooowly catching up to Vegas.”
D’oh!
I remember seeing Vegas demoed at an Editors’ Lounge about 6 years ago and trying to find the hidden boards in the computer that were giving it so much performance. There weren’t any, it was just newer code. On the other hand, the interface was horrible for editing.
No one has the perfect edit system, it really depends upon what your workflow is. That determines which system will be best for you.

Job is correct. You notice the subject of this thread is MC 5.5 is the last 32 bit release. That is all that Avid has said.

Chris,
I know why your pissed, I have been through the wringer with Avid in the past also. I really feel the new crop is different. They have much less to work with when they are selling systems for a fraction of what they used to charge. Even so, they are doing a lot with what they have. There have been 5 releases with new features in the last 2.5 years. That’s one every 6 months. I have no reason to believe that won’t continue happening.
As for Symphony, as the owner of 4 of them, I am particularly sensitive to the abandoned feature set. Several things have given me hope lately. From purchasing Euphonix, which puts a CC panel in house, to the following statement from Avid on the Avid community forum today in response to the complaints about Symphony upgrade pricing not reflecting the lack of added features:
” Dave Avid PM:
Give me about a week to look into Symphony upgrade pricing. I don’t want to make it seem like somebody else is responsible for the pricing because I am the person who suggests the pricing for the product. But sometimes things get overlooked or a mistake is made and I’m willing to revisit Symphony upgrades. I can’t make any promises for a change for 5.5, but let me take this back to the business review team and see what we can do. I can’t talk about futures and Symphony features, but I can tell you that this is one of the most important topics being discussed at Avid right now. More on that topic at a later date, more on Symphony upgrades in about a week.Take care,
Dave”

Avid wants to make sure it’s out there. Just trying to help. 😉

The other “poor man’s option” is to just drop the Avid Media Files folder into your project folder when you are done working and want to archive it. To restore later on, you just bring the Avid media files folder to the surface level of the drive.

Incredibly simple.
Select all the files. Right click (or under clips menu) and select Consolidate/Transcode. You will get a dialog box in which you can select consolidate (this will copy your files) and the destination drive.

When you consolidate, are you adding handles? That would give you a lot more media.
When you mixdown, what resolution are you selecting?

We have everything done through patch bays as it makes life easier. However, if this is the only thing you are going to be switching, you could try something like this:
