Re: [Avid-L2] Avid needs to become a PRIVATE company!

 

I've been using CS5.5 more than Avid for about a year now. The time
savings in being able to background export is huge when dealing with
cheap event jobs, and even when dealing with low budget corporate.

MUCH more rendering then on my Avid though - but I don't have the latest
video card.

Plus Acrobat Pro . . . And of course Premiere -- though I just fired it up in earnest for the first time the other day and found myself hoping Avid would borrow from it in some areas, but overall being very happy to be cutting with Media Composer. Hmmm... maybe Adobe can buy Media Composer/Symphony? Might be a good thing.
