The only equivalent I can think of is a lap dissolve.

I have my problems with Adobe. But Joe Schmo? Really?

[Michael Phillips] ” just don’t expect the same functionality from both of them for all things. “
I can expect it, I’m just not going to get it. But even at it’s present state the technology is pretty amazing. And useful. Like you I am very interested what the state will be in 5-10 years.

True, I had forgotten that.

That sounds right. I know I still have a machine running 3 that I use all the time that has it and I know it wasn’t extra then. One of the more bizzare and inexplicable moves Avid ever made was to begin charging thousands of dollars for a function that had always before been included. Don’t know what the legal ramifications are but if going forward Avid will not have this functionality then the only thing that will set them apart is having markers that stay where you put them, no matter what. (And that is not a small thing to me.)

True, but it still works with older Avid Software – at least for now. As for them being separate functions – maybe. But charging for them as separate functions – at least as I remember it – was a relatively recent happening.

People will find a way to make technologies work for them if it fits their price point. But if I were working on a complicated feature or doc, my first choice would be Avid strictly because of ScriptSync (and Phrase Find, which – although it is now charged for separately used to be, if memory serves, part and parcel of ScriptSync.) Yes, Avid has it’s set of problems. But the availability of ScriptSync can often be a deal breaker.
