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

Everybody got here before me but one useless feature is 'Save Track
Layout'. On an Avid, the Timeline View would include things like audio
waveforms and keyframes (if I'd included them). On FCP, the saved
layout does not include these. Doh!

Things I miss from Avid when I go to FCP

User settings all in one folder
Workspaces that can be tied to everything
Most of FCP's "auto focus" functionality being tied to track patching
Render file management

Things I miss from FCP when I go to Avid

Composite modes in the timeline
Opacity in the timeline
Ease of filter/effect stacking.
