[Avid-L2] Re: list of Avid stuff you miss in FCP?

We're missing some of the big ones:

1. Settings (such as sequence presets and scratch disk locations) that follow a project.

2. Animatte. The FCP versions of this -- the 4 and 8 point garbage mattes -- are pathetic. Yes, I know I can roundtrip to Motion, and I do it all the time, but why should I have to? Nowadays, it's a very basic task of offline editing.

3. Render tracking.

4. An undo list.

5. The Avid model of sequence to sequence editing, with a source timeline visible. I've gotten quite used to the FCP copy and paste technique over my 5 years of FCP editing, but I still prefer the way Avid does it.

BTW this is a list from a guy (me) that overall prefers FCP, though sometimes I'm not sure why. Really looking forward to trying MC5.
