RE: [Avid-L2] What will Avid do? [plug ins]

David you're absolutely right, appologies, it was FCP 7 that red giant was demoing, my mistake, i must have confused it with noise industries. And you're right, the Saphire demo was hilarious. The main point i took away from that though was that everything was based on easy presets, so you don't have to actually do anything difficult. More evidence as to the prosumer leanings of FCPX!
