Re: Grinner vs. Avid

Ted -
I work with AVID's more than almost anyone else, and have been doing so since the original AVID system. Long before any of these user forums existed, I have constantly been attacking AVID, and many of thier policies. I welcome Grinner's comments, as they are accurate. The Media Composer interface is teriffic, and the AVID Adrenaline hardware is very stable, but the world moves along, and AVID - especially now - needs to be pushed along with the progress in our industry. If your attitude is "look, this box works, I can make a show, and I don't want to spend any more money, so just leave well enough alone" - you sir, will be out of business very soon. Progress is what drives our industry, and striving for new exciting features, and higher resolutions, is what seperates us from "little Billy", the high school editor.
