Re: [Avid-L2] Walter Murch and NLEs

Agreed, gents. Having an MC/PT union option, or at least a smooth affair between the two with at least 64 audio tracks on the MC side, would be a lock for me.

I understand... having a video and sound workstation performing well in the same box must be a serious challenge (we're told not to do it), not to mention dealing with 4K+ video, 5.1+ audio, and definitely not to mention a cloud or geographically distributed team workflow (with security). It may be a helluva lot to ask for, but there it is.

Yep that's my opinion... Put them together and have a tab, avid/protools.

I *am* oversimplifying because the workflow I want is dead simple. Its current roadblocks cause it to be difficult and un-achievable. It is funny you're describing to a former mixer how a mix works.

Or a revolutionary idea: Why does Avid even have Media Composer and Pro Tools as separate apps? Why not have them both in one? Build an inclusive application, and based on whatever licensing you have on your dongle, those features become active. It already works this way for Media Composer vs. Media Composer with Symphony Option. Why not a Media Composer with Pro Tools Option?

Then you could pass things back and forth without having to translate. Yes it's an ideal idea, but if you asked me how it should work, that's the real answer. Until then, give me unlimited tracks in MC, and I'll deal with AAF back and forth

....

This idea is important, because it's the same one I've had since I heard Avid bought Digidesign. The fact that these apps still can't talk to each other on a meaningful level is preposterous.
