Re: How about CatDV Instead?

I too am a CatDV fan. It has a rich tool set built in, where FSC is nearly pure browse, proxy/transcode and access control. Nearly anything else needs to be scripted. CatDV has tools for logging, media management, scene detection, sub clipping, linking... etc. My favorite feature is it's ability to link QT media to edls, ales, batch lists and tab delimited text. To me this illustrates the difference between an app designed for video from the ground up, and nearly all others that started life as a pre-press/photo catalogs that had video support "tacked on". Having the 4th dimension (Time) as a foundation from the start is very key for me.

Of course there is pressure to use FSC because it is essentially free compared to the others.

Glad I'm not the only CatDV fan here.
