Re: [Avid-L2] Resolve 12.5

You missed out Edm

Which I guess actually was an Ampex product but really was made by CDL and combined a central dynamics vision mixer with an PEC 102 edit controller in one unit.

You could shuttle the vpr1s and quads using the vision mixer t bar in transport control mode...

My main memory of the EDM-1 was the relief when they took it away but they cut a lot of coronation street and world in action in those suites.

Ampex next computer edit system was a convergence badge engineered 95 then they got Dave Bargen in to write the Ace which was always my second favorite controller after the Cmx.

Finally when the Ace was over they had the Dct controller which was made for them by my old friend Jack Calaway. The Calaway controllers were solid but by then I was running a Quantel Harry so never got to use split master slave groups or bins.

Had a visit from some Blackmagic folks yesterday asking about what we needed in Resolve for editing. We went down our list of pain points from our testing and with each item they would say "that's in 12.5."

Wow, nice to have a company really responding to the user demands in timely fashion. I really feel the commitment from Blackmagic to making their product the industry standard.

I know there are committed folks working at Avid also, but they don't get the resources necessary to pull off what Blackmagic is doing. Maybe we will finally get away from only using NLEs companies that start with the letter "A."
