Multicamera Editing

Hello,

3 months ago I bought a FCP system to edit a 10 camera concert. After using the multicamera facility to cut the gig at DV quality I then embarked on the task of redigitising the shots in my timeline at 10 Bit quality. Guess what? Can't do it! There is some sort of bug that doesn't let the multiclip facility play ball with the Media Manager, and I now find myself in the position of having to redigitise ALL 30 hours of my footage at uncompressed quality and sorting it out from there.

So, after 3 days of wasted time, high stress and much disappointment I have decided to ditch the system in favour of something else. Concerts for TV are the mainstay of my business, so I'd like to know how you rate Avid when it comes to getting the job done. I usually use up to 10 digibeta cameras, sometimes more, and I need to work quickly and creatively without being encumbered by all the fiddly and inefficient time wasting methods employed by FCP. I can't tell you how disappointed I am with that system.

Thanks,

Steve.
