Re: [Avid-L2] Why isn't Avid marketing all over this story?

Posted the story, right under the What's New in 4.0 blurb:
http://hershleder.com/avid_information

Adding:
Check out the What's New in 4.0 page too. I've embedded Steve Cohen's
great video covering the new Transition Retention feature, a video
from Avid about Mix & Match, and a list of most of the new things. Let
me know what I missed.

Cheers,
