Re: Smoke as an editor

I've never worked on a Symphony Nitris, and the last Avid I worked on was a Media Composer Adrenaline, so you can take what I have to say with that bias. I do have a background as an "offline" editor, so I do know what it takes to edit something together from scratch.
The Smoke is a great editor, as long as you have experience working on it (just like most editors). I always say the Smoke is hands down the best editor/finishing system money can buy. It has good editing capabilities, excellent compositing, color correcting, plus paint, etc. If I had a job to work on from start to finish I would rather work on a Smoke then an Avid or a FCP system. Unfortunately, a Smoke is expensive...

hope that helps.
