Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Symphony owners?

I'll summerise my contribution to the forum thread...

I have long thought that Symphony should be killed (or Media Composer
renamed Symphony, that way Symphony owners don't feel like they're being
downgraded) - all Symphony's features become part of the new product
(whatever we call it).

Then, and here's the kicker - the colour correction gets an immediate
upgrade by having SpectraMatte and AniMatte functionality built in to it.

From this point on Avid focuses of two core professional post-production
products - Media Composer (or Symphony) and DS.
