Background

Avid-L was established in 1994 at Calvin College by Steven Koster.
It was created to be a forum for Avid users to meet, discuss, and share
information.

Avid-L quickly grew into the premiere on-line users group for
professional film and video editors. It was one of the earliest examples

of an Internet community, allowing hundreds of editors worldwide to
share their experiences and expertise with their peers. There was no
better place for a professional Avid editor to get such wealth of
informed professional advice.

At various times, individual subscribers volunteered services to the
group. Searchable archives were maintained by Germany's Berlin Users
Group as well as the UIUC. A tips & tricks list was posted by Andy
Birkhead of Innovative Edit. Wes Plate, a longtime contributor, not only

shared key techniques on his Web site, he also created a photo gallery
for members' portraits.

In 1997, several subscribers began a tradition of meeting in person at
the NAB trade show in Las Vegas. The first gatherings were organized by Jaime Fowler. In 1999,
Avid Technology itself began sponsoring these gatherings as an exclusive reception and seminar for Avid-L members only. In 2002, this changed to the "Avid Users Group" meeting.

By 1999, Avid-L boasted over 1600 subscribers, exhibiting a true
international scope with over 300 international members. The community
included participants from a wide variety of well-known corporate
organizations in broadcasting, technical, and content creation fields,
as well as and multiple local TV stations, colleges, and universities.

In 2000, Avid-L joined AvidProNet.com, and then, in 2002, was integrated
Into Avid.com.

In 2005 Due to problems with signal to noise ratio and abusive posters, the Avid-L2 was formed. A year later the Avid-L was discontinued by Avid.

At the middle of 2006, the L2 has around 1100 members, with plenty of "lurker only" members who simply use the web version of the list. The L2 is spam-free, by moderation and with Yahoo's tools and will remain that way. The integrated archives with both old L and L2 posts came on line recently as well at the University of Illinois. That can be found at http://archives.itg.uiuc.edu/avid/.

Cross-posting to the FCP-L is welcome, tho reply's will not flow back to either list necessarily- check your own email reply preferences. The Final Cut list is found at: http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/FinalCutPro-L

Welcome, and Enjoy!

Thanks all for the replies. It looks like an upgrade is in order. If that's the case, I'll consider biting the bullet and update BCC while I'm at it. Other than bundles, can anyone point me towards Boris promos or discounts?

Boris used to have a very reasonably priced upgrade from AvidFX to the full Boris RED. It's worth the money because it reads your existing effects and can make them green dot effects. Same interface, no learning curve.

[Avid-L2] Re: Wes Plate joins Apple as a Product Designer

 

Interesting.  Pretty much all my work is on X now.  Very fast and capable, especially with the latest 10.3 update.  Be interested to see if Wes will be working to get X timelines to Motion (natively, not with his plug-in) and back, like Premiere and AE.

Did some QC training for a company that uses FCPX. It sort of works but did seem up hill.
But good luck to Wes on his future with Apple.

Avid FX still works on my PC at work, MC 8.5.2.
It crashes on my Mac at home, same version.

Go figure.

You should upgrade AvidFX to Boris Red. AvidFX was Boris Red OEM for Avid.

[Avid-L2] Avid FX and MC 8.7

 

I know that Avid EOLed Avid FX several years ago, but it's still been part of my regular workflow, particularly when I need some basic motion graphics and don't want to round trip through AE.

Now when I drop an Avid FX plugin on a clip, it crashes out my system. To be more accurate, I can open the Avid FX interface, but when I apply the effect, Avid crashes. Anyone else seen this issue? I assume buying Boris Red would give me the functionality I'm looking for, but the old Avid FX suited my needs just fine.

Win 7 / MC 8.7.2 / Avid FX 6.4.0372
