New Blue or no, AVID: update the Title Tool!
A lot of us don't need anything fancy, but something from this century (literally) would be nice!
A modern, straightforward 2D toolset that was pixel accurate,
and works in all resolutions is in my dreams
(that and being able to turn off AutoKeyframing, etc., but don't get me started)
Symphony has the bones of something that could be really great
and that would help justify the cost of MC (IMHO, it should be rolled into MC).

From an outsider's perspective, it appears that Avid is not the least bit interested in expending resources to advance core functionality, such as: titling, grading or effects capabilities.Media Composer is an edit-only product, and Avid seems to be expecting 3rd parties to entirely pick up the slack. Unfortunately, I don't think their API, or ecosystem, are at all comparable to that of their NLE competitors.At the same time, I have to admit that I would rather have a New Blue or FilmLight working closely with Avid to provide titling and grading solutions that actually work -- than to have to limp along with Media Composer's embarrassingly obsolete modules which haven't been upgraded in 15 years. </epic fail>Of course, it's easier to hold this opinion if one is operating as more of an "island" -- versus needing to interoperate with a slew of other post production entities. In that instance, Resolve makes much more sense.I don't see the pricing for current Media Composer owners -- or for those with the Symphony option. Being the latter, I would hope that the product would cost somewhat less. It would be the very least Avid could do to make good on many years of shameful broken promises regarding differentiating Symphony.
