Re: So if Avid goes under, then what?

[Bernhard Grininger] "The only thing Autodesk
could benefit of is Audio, like Eric already said."

I think Autodesk could benefit greatly if they purchased Media Composer and ported the editing interface into Smoke on Mac. Even if it's just the skin of the interface with Smoke's frame based file structure underneath. Immediate familiarity with an editing interface for thousands of editors combined with the depth of effects in Smoke would be a great combination.

Not that Smoke's editing interface is bad, I actually like it a lot, but the muscle memory of many years on another platform doesn't translate immediately.
