It is true that whenever I show phrasefind to a client they are awed. These two apps are so special I hope the two parties can come to agreement. It is really important to the long time health of the Avid Media Composer.

10/31/14 is the anniversary of receiving my purchase of ScriptSync and PhraseFind for $1,345. Six months later, on April 30, 2014, AVID has moved on to MC8 and SS & PF aren't included.
May, 2014
I was asked to be an instructor in a round robin event "Comparing Editing Platforms" for TIVA-DC. There were three rooms each showing either AVID; PP; or FCP X. The idea was to demonstrate in 25 minutes "why I love this editing platform". I did the AVID room.
I showed: timewarp; ScriptSync and PhraseFind; tracking; advanced keyframes; fluid morph; AMA; and so on.
Some of the biggest oohs and aahs were from seeing ScriptScript and PhraseFind. That was painful to me because by 5/22/14 I knew that my long-term access to my recently purchased & expensive AVID options of SS and PF had become a "maybe".
They are such a great features. Please, let's push to keep them.
AVID has a commitment here. I hope they don't betray valued customers like myself and many of my colleagues.
Is hope a strategy?

What recourse or accommodation is AVID giving to owners of ScriptSync and PhraseFind? These expensive options cost MORE than a brand new MC8 license.
If AVID really can't work out the licensing deal with Nexidia, I hope they will AT LEAST REALLY SUPPORT MC7 for those of us who can't afford to leave it entirely right now.
Unless we keep this discussion going then I believe hope will be our only strategy.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Best,
