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

Judging by the responses in that thread Mark, the answer is "no" in my opinion. Not because it can't be done, but the complexity of some of those answers to get it to work look like troubleshooting and maintaining it would be a nightmare. Avid = Create workspace > Mount workspace > Create Project > Add media > Editor No. 1: make some bins, start editing, Editor No.2: Open project, make some bins start editing etc.

Those guys are passing things back and forth, losing their renders from one machine to the next, having to use a seperate MAM to keep things organised and the fact that it took Keith Koby a page to describe what just took me two lines seems to suggest that it would be a massive ball ache on a large scale. I'm not convinced.

I asked this exact same question over on the Creative Cow FCP-X forum. Here's the thread.



Conclusion: Yes, but not without some hoops to jump through.

The sort of thing you may see in large reality tv scenarios or content heavy tv shows? I always worry that if Avid ever went under, the large operations would struggle to find something as seemless as MC with an ISIS etc. I'd like to know if anyone else is up to the job in terms of being stable in a very large operation, everyone I seem to read singing the praises of FCP X or Premiere seems to be working on smaller scale productions which is fine but how do those products scale up?
