Re: [Avid-L2] Re: MC5

I'M excited. This is what has reinvigorated my interest in Avid
again. What has brought me back into the fold again. But most of the
places that are doing shows and hiring editors aren't upgrading. They
have stuff that works and feel like they have no need. ONly the
places that need to embrace the new shooting formats are doing this,
because it means a whole new system. Which is BY FAR cheaper than the
one they are replacing, but when faced with something that works
opposed to getting something new...

...producers can be cheap. But not all of them. I was hired by three
places that upgraded. But from Meridians...so they were LONG overdue.

At least if you made the jump to 3.0, going to 5.0 won't hurt
much...unless you are still using G5s. Ick.
