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

But what limitation are we working around?
Name one thing the FCP markers system does, one way in which it adds value, in contrast to MC. I don't think you can.
Yes, approaches can be different. Some approaches are more limited, and give the user fewer options. That's the difference with regards to this feature set in comparing FCP to MC. If you value limitation, and fewer options, then FCP markers work for you. If you value flexibility, then MC locators work for you.
But, the problem with this discussion is it's lopsidedness. As much as I complain about FCP, when I go back to Avid, there are some things I miss about it. I would also be compelled to admit that the presence of FCP's feature set in the marketplace has pushed Avid to be better. Perhaps that discussion would be the more useful thread. After all, Avid Inc. reads and responds to this list, while I sincerely doubt that Apple is paying any attention to what I say here.
So I put to all you bilingual FCP/MC editors, when you go back to Avid, what FCP features do you miss?

Sounds like a workaround to me.

Not advocating, simply explaining how approaches can be different.
