After my sarcastic remark, It sounds like what you might want is a PDF

Subject: [Avid-L2] Simple Question

Hey, this ought to be easy for you top-level guys.

We have new Owners, we just shot some stuff on Red Epic, 5D and EX-1.

We've transferred all the footage and catalogued it into groups.

We're feeling the Client might want to use footage in the future for
different purposes and we'd be keen to sell it to them - however, they
need a way to preview it and preview future shoots, simply and easily.

The Client is not a ProdCo or TV Station or Ad Agency, they are just a
manufacturer with no particular video (or computer) knowledge.

The people who will look at the material are middle-to-top Management
and all the ignorance that entails... (see footnote)

HERE'S THE BRIEF (IN MY WORDS):

"Produce a DVD with all the footage on it, in good enough quality so
they can see how good it is. And make this DVD with a menu so any one
of
hundreds of clips can be accessed and played - not a video DVD because
that's too low quality - and this DVD has to play automatically in
every
computer under every Operating System no matter how old the computer
and
it has to do this - playing perfectly - with no human intervention
whatsoever."

Should be pretty easy for all you Tekko-Heads, yes?

So, just tell me and I'll make the DVD.

footnote: once an Agency Owner bragged to me he'd finally figured out
how to forward emails. "Well done" says I.
"Wanna see me do one?" he asks. "Sure"
Turning his head, he shouts "Michael!"
His twenty-something PA comes running.
"Michael, forward this email" "Sure thing, where's it going?"

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Biscardi makes his decision

 

I know you've been saying the same stuff. You and I have been commiserating for more than a decade. I was apologizing for the DS comment.

The advantage to Symphony is definitely the seamless integration of the cc tools into the editing environment. All you have to do is attempt to move any project into and out of any of the other NLE/CC combinations and you long for that specific functionality of Symphony.

I honestly think that the problem is that Avid is now so hampered by its depleted engineering staff. I don't think that they can do anything much more than keep up with all of the format and codec changes and make a few editing UI changes.

The diversion into "smart tools" may have been welcome to some, but when I just went back and did a gig on an older Symphony that didn't have them, I never missed them. It definitely probably helped make MC more accessible to the FCP crowd and made it a little easier for people to switch to Avid. That's obviously a good thing and something that brings money and editors into the fold, but MAN effects and CC are just not good in MC and Symph. I think the editing UI is better than anything else out there. I honestly do. I think editing and trimming in MC is better than FCP7 or FCPX or anything else. Media management and AMA are also good things about Avid, but outside of ACTUAL EDITING, MC is severely hampered.

Why are you apologizing to me? No one has been screaming louder at Avid since the early days of the original Symphony that they need more features and development than me. No one!

That said, having the color correction tools seamlessly integrated into the rest of the workflow is very hard to leave behind. Having to go out to another app to do anything is stupid.

Re: [Avid-L2] Biscardi makes his decision

 

I completely agree. I was one of the first Symphony "owners" (though at the time I was just the editor and the owners of my post house actually owned it) and I definitely wanted Symphony "protected" from MediaComposer - that they be distinct.

But that was more than a decade ago. Now it seems like if you want to distinguish Symphony from Media Composer, the software should be identical and they find a way to make the hardware the distinguishing factor. I just did a color correction/on-line session in Symphony supervised by an off-line editor who was used to taking her sessions into a Da Vinci and she was continually frustrated by the lack of things that I could do in Symphony in color correction compared to what she was used to.

When you compare the barely adequate color correction tools in Symphony to Apple Color or Da Vinci Resolve or Speedgrade, it is just pathetic.

Add the lame secondaries of Symphony into Media Composer and then do something that turns Symphony into a REAL finishing tool. As has been mentioned in countless posts since the initial happiness about Symphony, this would mean: Real color correction, real titling and real effects. Marquee isn't a bad start for titling. But effects and cc in Symphony needs to get more like... well, DS... Sorry Terry! Or Smoke...

Respectfully, CC and Universal Mastering are the only significant feature-delineations between MC and Symphony. And, let's face the facts -- neither one of them has been upgraded by Avid in over a decade.

Every professional editing system in the year 2012 should provide functional solutions that address those two workflow requirements.

The days of vertically-integrated product lines that desperately hold onto offline/online models are are over -- and the writing has been on the wall for a long time. If FCP hadn't imploded -- this lesson would have been driven home even harder.

I'm not saying there should be no difference in functionality or price point between platforms like DS and MC/Symphony -- and I'm not saying that previous Symphony owners should not be "made whole" for having spent premium dollars on their initial purchases and subsequent upgrades.

I'm just saying there is no rational reason to not merge the features of MC and Symphony -- because frankly, there is very little to merge.

Which features, Walter? There are 1.5 (one point five) features left in Symphony that are not in MC, and that in no way seems to justify the price difference in purchase, support and upgrades.

For years, people have been asking for clarity in the product line.

The MC interface is friendlier only if you've never spent significant time
in DS. The tool you use most will always be friendlier than the ones you
use least. I faced MC for the first time in thirteen years when I upgraded
my DS recently, and found it confusing. Personally, I find the DS interface
speedy and efficient. So do a few thousand others out there.

Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Biscardi makes his decision

 

Seconded. I followed WB's blog and some of his on-line convos through
the process. Although I don't operate anywhere close to his scale and am
in a much smaller market I appreciated the sharing of his thought
processes. If something he talked about saves me a day of work or
decision making somewhere over the next year it is well worth it. If you
don't wish to share or aren't interested in what others go through...
Get the L out.
