Re: [Avid-L2] ScriptSync & v5

I'm angry too. I've been a big proponent of ScriptSync and I feel Avid has made a huge mistake. This is a breakthrough tool and I use it all the time and many here at CBS have jumped on the bandwagon. It's almost indispensable for my workflow.
Now I understand the need to charge for it but my problem is the price. Who came up with the ridiculous price of $1000. This will kill it at CBS, I'm sure, and probably kill it for most independent editors and small companies. To price it at almost half the price of MC is a disastrous mistake. I could understand something more in the neighborhood of $299 but not this.
With all the great things in 5.0, this is a poorly thought out step backwards.

This really angers me. Just a few weeks ago, we were all having a conversation about how wonderful ScriptSync is, and how it really sets Avid apart from the competition.

Would anyone from Avid care to comment on this move?
