Re: Blackmagic Design Buys DaVinci: Part 1

why is this a good thing?....davinci has been in trouble for years and probably couldn't wait to find a buyer. they have stagnated while others have moved in. and don't think the BMD aquisition will mean a cheaper davinci. there are alot of really good color correction systems out there, each with it's own strength. my big criticism of davinci of late has been its horrible user interface. what they really needed was a complete overhaul of their panels and usablility. just look at pogle. they realized early on that a graphics tablet should be part of a grading suite. the reason other systems have become so popular is they listen to what clients want from a color correction system. davinci were always so smug. i'll stick to nucoda, pogle and even color over a davinci anyday...good luck black magic, i hope you know what you're doing buying that old dinosaur.
