Re: Does anyone actually edit in smoke ?

Q; Does anyone actually edit in smoke ?
A; a few, but for every short from cut in Smoke top to tail, there's 1000 cut in DS... better tools for the job, and that's why it's used for that morning, noon and night

Smoke has it's strength's and weaknesses... as does DS...

But maybe the most telling is Discreet using a promo cut, graded, mixed, and gfx all done in DS, and then a clean textless sent to OZ, there a Smoke was used to insert local gfx, and somehow that has became "Smoke was used for editing this show promo"... bwhaaaaaaa....... the best they can do for showing what Smoke can do is to use something done in DS and claim it...

DS is argueably a better tool for top to tail edit / grade / GFX / mix in a single box, but what's not an argueable point is that DS is vastly more widely used for this workflow
