Re: [Avid-L2] list of Avid stuff you miss in FCP?

Things I miss from Avid when I go to FCP

User settings all in one folder
Workspaces that can be tied to everything
Most of FCP's "auto focus" functionality being tied to track patching
Render file management

Things I miss from FCP when I go to Avid

Composite modes in the timeline
Opacity in the timeline
Ease of filter/effect stacking.
