It's amazing how many of the people who've been using FCP exclusively for
however long still see Avid as the company it was in 2000 or earlier. They
are completely unaware of what Media Composer is now, or how Avid has
changed for the better.
I saw one post, from someone apparently consulting in the industry, talking
about Media Composer being $25,000 a seat.
I'm not sure how Avid can combat that, but hopefully they have some ideas.
