thanks Jeremy - that was a very informative answer, I take it as a piece with your other thinking on offlines and project mobility.
If this works out its great though -I guess we're all going to have to learn Avid anyway - (I'm better than I was), but if PPro can step in for a lot of FCP suites, that would suit me to the ground. I spend half my life going back and forth between FCP and AE as it is. My FCP timeline invariable ends up with stacked iteration AE renders on top. Premiere mopping up the non-core LA Avid editing market would be just the ticket.
